| Do your speakers have enough "freshness" Mike60, Your definition of "freshness" sounds like a coloration. | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? I haven't heard live music sound dull and lifeless. It always sounds just the way live music is supposed to sound. I don't reallly care how a speaker or anything else measures for that mastter. I am more interested in the overall performance. Mayb... | |
| Defunct Company Gear Value Unsound, You are absolutely correct regarding Threshold values. Once folks became aware of Soderberg and Pass Labs started up Threshold values immediately started to climb. However, I believe Dunlavy speaker values are strictly based on performance. | |
| Defunct Company Gear Value Jmcgrogan, I noticed nobody is dying to buy the SA-1s at $4750. Asking price is one thing, actual selling price is another. I have been following prices on many items for a couple of decades now and every once in a while a piece of stereo equipmen... | |
| Defunct Company Gear Value Jmcgrogan, When Threshold went out of business prices immediately dropped to thirty cents on the dollar. Prices did not improve for used Threshold until Pass Labs became popular. Even though some used prices have improved for used Threshold equipm... | |
| need good solid state amp to match my tube preamp If you are planning on keeping the LS25 I recommend an Audio Research amplifier. You can mix and match to your heart's content, but there is a rightness to the sound of matching amplifiers and preamps. Check out the Audio Research D400 MKII. It is... | |
| Increasing height of stand-mount -- what to expect Hornguys, I am curious why the midtreble is the only area of concern when tilting or raising the height of a speaker. Can you please explain? | |
| Amp and speaker matching. When someone asks if a cetain type of amplifier will drive their speaker I am assuming they want to know if the amplifier will drive their speaker properly. I have tried many combinations like driving Maggies with 15 watt Quad tube monos and drivi... | |

| ARC preamp line up The SP-14 is a great preamp and an absolute bargain used. I have seen SP-14 preamps advertised for $1,000 on a regular basis. Caution! Do not buy a modified Audio Research preamp. I have not heard one yet that sounds as good as a properly working ... | |
| Amp and speaker matching. My experience with Dynaudio drivers tells me they like high quality solid state amplification and the Contour 3.0 is no exception with the impedance dropping to 3.4 ohms. This is of greater concern than the 86db sensitivity rating. | |
| Increasing height of stand-mount -- what to expect Csmgolf, That is correct. Most people know the distance from the wall behind the speakers changes the tonal balance, however, there is rarely any thought given to the distance between the floor and the speaker which is a critical room boundary as ... | |
| Increasing height of stand-mount -- what to expect Instead of raising your speakers try tilting them back. You can use a level so you know they are equal or you can use a drafting T. Place the T across the back of the speak with the long end pointed toward the listening seat. Looking down the T ti... | |
| AUDIO RESEARCH-WHERE ARE THEY GOING My calls are always answer right away. As good or better than when Leonard was there. | |
| Bass amp for a tri-amped system? I am a stickler for coherent sound. So, I would say the same amplifiers should be used throughout the entire system. I am not sure what you mean by "dynamic resolution", but if you are not happy with the sound while using the same amplifiers maybe... |
