| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? For my bedroom system, a pair of Harbeth monitors would be nice to see under the Christmas tree. Or a pair of KEF LS-50's for my birthday. And come to think of it, a pair of new LS-100's for Father's Day would be well appreciated.... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? The attempt to install the 'original recording' as the objective standard for judging a system is doomed to failure from the start because It begins with the false premise that there is one, unique objective sound associated with the recording - w... | |
| Does Plugging Bass Port Affect Pace, Rhythm and Timing? Didn't think of that. I may try that! | |
| Does Plugging Bass Port Affect Pace, Rhythm and Timing? I found out something interesting. The muddiness seemed more than anything else traceable to the fact that the tweeters were a good 12-15 inches above the height of my ears while listening. I tried tilting the speakers down by inserting a shim on ... | |
| Does Plugging Bass Port Affect Pace, Rhythm and Timing? OK, guys - I plugged the ports, and it really reduced that mid bass bloat by a lot. The music is much more balanced now, and those sweet highs are much more to the fore. I think I'll live with this configuration for a while before I try anything e... | |
| Jolida Integrated or Rogue Integrated MAgnus Cronus II I would try to get a used Jolida 502B and a good set of 6550's: it may be the best sounding amp they've ever produced, and for the cost of a used one, it's quite a bargain.... | |
| Just received the Double Impacts (upgraded version) Nice to hear of your experience with the Class A amp and those DI's. As others have said, Tekton's are not broken in at the factory - they need quite a number of hours for the bass response especially to come into it's own. But it sounds like you ... | |
| Does Plugging Bass Port Affect Pace, Rhythm and Timing? OK, I will do that, and see how it works out. I don't have the original port plugs, but I do have some large chunks of foam material I could use (or just go with a pair of socks). | |
| A Budget Amp Comparison I was wondering how the Halo 23 compares with the Schiit Vidar, which I'm partial to based on my impressions of the Schiit Bifrost, and on other factors. | |
| Does Plugging Bass Port Affect Pace, Rhythm and Timing? Mine are about 6" from the wall right now. I'll try moving them out 4 more inches first before plugging the ports to see what that does. The only down side is esthetics - having the front of the speakers out over the edge of the shelf. But I coul... | |
| New Version Jolida JD502P issues. I purchased a JD502B several years ago. I got them for a great discount, just as they were being discontinued in favor of the JD502RC's, which added a remote control. I had been enjoying a vintage Marantz 2325 receiver prior to that, and prior to ... | |
| How Does Your Jolida JD502 Sound Using 4 Ohm Taps? Well, I do like to listen loud, so I guess I'd have to use the 4 Ohm taps for some of the speakers I've been looking at.Would an 8 Ohm speaker put less demands on the amount of current an amp is asked to deliver, all else being equal? Would this m... | |
| Are 'Thin-Tower' Speakers Voiced for HT? 07-19-12: Tom6897Rwinner:I am not sure I understand what you mean as "culprits".I am suggesting that some of these speakers are designed so that those who buy them for HT will find them well voiced for this purpose. That is all I am saying. Not th... | |
| Are 'Thin-Tower' Speakers Voiced for HT? 07-19-12: Rleff:I can think of several that fall into this area;Merlin and Dunlavy are the 2 that stand out; there is no way that I would consider them voiced for home theater. These are both world class speakers and should be only judged as how t... | |
| Are 'Thin-Tower' Speakers Voiced for HT? To Tom6897's remark: the marquee's you suggest are the biggest culprits! They may have a high-end audio line, but they almost all also market the kinds of speakers I'm talking about. Elizabeth is right: the shape is partly determined by the ease w... |
