| PMC EB1i v. Thiel CS3.7 v. Pioneer S1-EX v. ??? I feel it's a huge risk not being able to listen to the speakers first hand and bringing them home based on recommendations on the forum. Having said that, judging from your description the Thiel CS3.7 may be a better choice than the PMC EB1i. I h... | |
| Neat Ultimatum MFS vs Totem Mani 2 Dynamic Solutions don't seem to get much publicity here but the Master One looks pretty solid and well-built. The specs are quite impressive too going down to 21Hz. A near full-range speaker. Enjoy~ | |
| Dynaudio Confidence or Sonus Faber monitors Congratulations on the C2's. I would be interested to know how the C2's are doing being driven by the 840E/840W. Enjoy~ | |
| Dynaudio Confidence or Sonus Faber monitors With your front end equipment the Sonus Faber Guarneri Memento is a better choice. Should be a significant improvement over the Grand Piano Home which isn't exactly up to audiophile standards. It doesn't come as a surprise as the GM costs above $1... | |
| Suggestions please: upgrade from Dynaudio S1.4 I do not feel the need to defend the Harbeths although I own a pair myself. Goatwuss has a point when he mentioned the Harbeths do not rock like the Dynaudios. What they do is they rock differently than the Dynaudios, and they do it admirably well... | |
| Sonus Faber Guaneri Homage or Extremas? So how is it? Extrema or Guarneri Homage. | |
| what speakers demand high end electronics 02-25-11: DrubinOf all the speakers I have owned, I feel that Harbeths were the least fussy when it came to amplifier pairing. (Another way of saying this: Harbeths are less transparent to the source than other speakers I have owned.) So perhaps t... | |
| what speakers demand high end electronics To clarify, Alan Shaw believes(probably in an act of pretense) that all amplifiers sound the same and differences are non-existent between well designed amplifiers. He has explicitly mentioned in the user forum that a double blind test(unsighted) ... | |
| Harbeth 7es2 vs Harbeth 7es3 Personally I would pass on a speaker that has been modified, especially by third parties. Similarly like Chashas1, I would pick an original C7ES2 over a modified speaker. You wouldn't know the quality of workmanship of the modified speaker and the... | |
| Sonus Faber Guaneri Homage or Extremas? I concur with Daveyf that a home trial is the best way forward, or at least try to listen to both speakers if possible. Both options are excellent and a lot of factors as mentioned earlier(associated equipment, room, listening preference) will com... | |
| Sonus Faber Guaneri Homage or Extremas? Check out the link below. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1161958676&openfrom&1&4#1I have only briefly listened to the Extremas and these are rather huge and heavy bookshelves that can be tri-wired. The Extremas are v... | |
| Gemme Tanto V2- any thoughts? Thanks for the response Ckoffend. It was much appreciated. Similarly I am not a fan of Sonus Fabers although I'ved owned the Grand Pianos for 3 years. I'm surprised I managed to hang on to it for such a long time though. A friend was also having p... | |
| Gemme Tanto V2- any thoughts? Varyat, you may want to check the Naim forum. Some folks use Naim amps on the Katana and the system was said to sound better than all the Sonus Faber range of speakers which include the Elipsa and Guarneri. I'm not sure whether the Katana or the T... | |
| Replacements for Dynaudio Floorstanders It might be due to setup or the room. How big is your listening room and how are the Dynaudios set up in the room? Are they close to wall boundaries? Are your equipment on a proper rack? Move your speakers around and try treating the room for a fr... | |
| Amp s choices to match with Wilson Sophias ? The Sophias piqued my interest. Is there an appreciable difference between the Sophia 1, 2 and 3? Nolitan, where did you read about the Sophias sounding good on Naim amps? Another question(pardon my ignorance) how does the Sophia3 compare to the S... |
