| Review: Tube Research TRL Dude Tube preamp I loved your review. Thanks!Bob | |
| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? The best speaker that I have had is my current Salk SoundScape 10s. They have a holographic soundstage of unbelievable depth. They have incredible smooth horizontal dispersion so have the same tone throughout the room. The RAAL is possibly the bes... | |
| Soundstage depth and width After I got my Salk SoundScape speakers, I notice that the sound sometimes will spill out into the room. Maybe it is the good dispersion of the speakers but I dont really know. The back of the midrange chamber is held on with magnets and when rem... | |
| Speakers for Bryston If you are considering the Magnepan then you should consider the Philharmonic speakers. They are a ribbon speaker that will crush any Magnepan alive. They are built to support the Washington Philharmonic Orchestra so are only $2800!!!http://philha... | |
| Must Hear Speakers in $10K range You arent going to find speakers that image and soundstage better than the Salk SoundScapes for $10K. They also have tight flat bass to 22Hz or so. They are about as clean and transparent a speaker as I have heard for any price. As with all Accut... | |
| Center channel for Avalon Eidolons Jim Salk has an Accuton based center that has a flat frequency response. He can finish it to match your speakers.http://www.salksound.com/soundscape%20center%20-%20home.htm | |
| Avalon Eidolon or Parsifal Encore Thanks for the initial impressions!I can also imagine these work very well with tubes.I think you might be right. My Accuton based Salks were magical when I added a tube Aesthetix Calypso preamp.Bob | |
| Is the Accuton driver that good? Audioconnection, For a very short while you had me thinking that you might be right. As a trained physicist, any such ringing would be resonances that would show up in the frequency response curve. The RAALs frequency response curve is as flat as... | |
| Is the Accuton driver that good? "Need to be careful mixing different materials because of this sonic signature. Best to use the same material 150Hz and above."Audioconnection, I don't agree on your last point. My Salks have a RAAL ribbon tweeter and it matches up very well. The ... | |
| Is the Accuton driver that good? I think the comments about speakers with Accuton drivers sounding thin are due to a preference of speakers that have bloom. My Salks, with Accuton midranges, sound very transparent and have little bloom. I use them in their open baffle mode and us... | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsar? Thanks for the follow up post! I thought you would like them. ;)Bob | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsar? I think you will like them. I had Salk monitors, which sound very similar, when I heard your A1's and was still happy with my speakers.BobPS Of course I use a good sub. | |
| Is the Accuton driver that good? I have Salk SoundScapes with Accuton midranges. Looking at the Accuton drivers frequency response, I can see how the key to getting great sound from ceramics is a great crossover. Many speakers do not have crossovers that good. My SoundScapes hav... | |
| Moscode 402au vs Butler TDB2250 vs McIntosh MC275 A friend had a Moscode 401 and upgraded to a 275 and was very happy. Like you he thought the 275 had a weaker bass. He also bought a second 275 so he could run them mono.Bob |
