| What Wilson to Buy? My 5.1's have been freshly updated (all new parts) and are currently hooked up to an all tube set-up consisting of an AMR CD-Player and the incredibly inexpensive Vista Audio i34. I gotta say, this combo on the 5.1's is killer, and showcases this ... | |
| Int-Amp after Rega Mira 3? What's Next? I don't often see the words "cold" and "Rega" mentioned together in the same sentence. A small part of me wonders if there's a bad synergy going on.For what its worth, I never cared much for the Mira 3. I owned it. Twice. Good build. OK sound.If y... | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? Out of the hundreds upon hundreds of pieces of hi-fi that I've owned (and I'm not even 30 yet, how sad is that?).. there are only two products that *I* would classify as over achievers. The first product to give me that impression was AV123's orig... | |
| Integrated Amp. for Fritzspeakers Carbon 7 The Scan Speak 9500 on your Carbon 7's drop off sharply above 15kHz. In other words, tt's not your gear. It's the speakers. If you want to get a bit more 'bite' out of the treble, I would advise pairing the Carbon 7's with electronics that a bit m... | |
| Spkr cables for Wilson WP 7 Wilon's are typically seen paired with Transparent or MIT. I myself run a set of MIT cables to my Watt Pups. Are they the best cables for the speakers/my speakers? I don't know. Probably not. But do they get the job done and keep my ears satisfied... | |
| Great Monitors Joseph Audio Pulsar ? I'm going to play devils advocate for a moment. Please note that I'm not trying to stir the pot. I'm just trying to grasp why on earth these relatively compact monitors are priced at 7 grand.. I mean, we've seen the Seas Millennium tweet / Seas Ex... | |
| Totem THE ONE vs Totem Signature One On one hand, I agree with Hieule5's assessment of The One's dropping off at 60Hz. Although I actually got solid output down to around 35hz from The One's in my tiny listening space, they really do seem to lose their 'acoustic density' at around th... | |
| Polk LSI15's to Salk Song Towers Only if you believe the hype. Don't get me wrong, the Songtower's are excellent speakers. Having ran them for a few months, it is easy to understand why so many people dig on them. But, are they 'leagues' beyond 'mainstream' competitors? Absolutel... | |

| Totem THE ONE vs Totem Signature One If you already like what the Model One Signatures can do, than you will likely appreciate how The One's take every aspect of performance to that next level. Having owned just about every Totem currently in production, I have to say that The One's ... | |
| Revel Studio 1, B&W 802N or Sonus Faber Cremonas In my opinion, The MA7000 stands as one of the few integrated amplifiers that is able to combine the fluid sound of a short circuit along with the robust and 'large' sound that is typically reserved for separates. It's super linear piece, and that... | |
| Help with Totems The Arro's are quicker, throw out a wider sound-stage, and are generally tend to sound more forward along the treble.The Sttaf's have a fuller sound, possess a deeper sound-stage, and tend to have more of a warmer presentation.Both speakers respon... | |
| Totem subs Dgaylin,The Totem 'Thunder' is a great sub. I don't think I'd ever say anything otherwise. However, does it stand as a great value at full MSRP? No, not really. Heck, you even said it yourself; "It is not a great deal new". This is exactly why I'd... | |
| Totem subs The only one worth looking at, in my opinion, is the Storm. It's got tone and exceptional low level resolution, the latter being something of a rarity in the sub world. Still, if its big volume and ultra low extension you're after, there are other... | |
| Urgent - Totem speakers for Krell No question about it, go with the Forest. The Hawk is a better match for warmer sounding components like Rega, Naim, etc... |
