| Review: Silverline SR17 Supreme speakers Rega’s are more alive...greater presence. Higher resolution but no fatigue. The Minuets are the mellower speaker. Slightly veiled. Rega tweeter is hands down better. Both have excellent midrange. Rega RS1 is much better in near field. Minuets exce... | |
| Review: Silverline SR17 Supreme speakers The Minuets are incredible for the size. I used to own them until they were dethroned by the Rega RS1. | |
| Review: Silverline SR17 Supreme speakers The original Silverline SR17 is also a honey. If you can get a pair for under $1500 and in good shape, I don't think there is a better value in hifi stand mounters. | |
| Upgrade the projector or projector screen? The screen is more of a factor if you don’t have light control. Since you do, focus on the projector 📽 and getting one with the right throw distance for your room. | |
| KEF LS50 or Harbeth P3ESR for desktop system? With near field listening and in the sweet spot I am hearing things from the Beatles I've never heard before! Things like Ringo's bongos that was lost in the background now come out to the forefront and you can almost hear every individual finger ... | |
| KEF LS50 or Harbeth P3ESR for desktop system? I would say Harbeth for tonal accuracy. The KEFs are more metallic sounding. KEF has the advantage of being close to a point source (coherence) and brings more weight to the party in the lower mids and bass.My vote Harbeth but with the added condi... | |
| Is There a Speaker for Me/Impossible Requirements? (budget: $2000) I've always thought Sennheiser phones and Ohm Walsh speakers have an overall more laid back sonic similarity along the lines you indicate appeal to you FWIW. I've had several of each. The Ohms still draw me in best overall. I own Ohm Walsh tall ... | |
| Is There a Speaker for Me/Impossible Requirements? (budget: $2000) The Silverline SR17 used is in your price range. I heard it next to the Harbeth P3ESR and it’s a lot more balanced of a speaker....actually it is just a lot better of a speaker period. Rega RS5 is also worth a look. Really nice tone and detail wit... | |
| What class of amplifier has the most high definition sound ? Good job transformers, whatever the hell it is you do...They provide the even ordered harmonics (distortion) that makes tube amps sound so nice. | |
| What class of amplifier has the most high definition sound ? I would say that Class D and Class A tube amps (excluding OTL) have an opposite sound signature. Tube amps add some meat to the bone.Class D amps take some meat off of the bone. It can come off as crystal clear, defined, and completely quiet betwe... | |
| What class of amplifier has the most high definition sound ? To win, you: 1. can't have an amp with crossover distortion (sorry class AB)2. can't have an amp that isn't linear & has an output filter (sorry class D)3. can't cheat and use a bunch of feedback to lower distortion. (sorry class AB & D).W... | |
| Bookshelf speakers for near-field (desktop) use LSX wireless. | |
| What can anyone say about Quarter Wavelength transmission line enclosure design ? Ohm Walsh speakers use a transmission line. The bass has real impact and slam. Nothing polite about the bass it produces.Salk Sound also uses TL. Never heard them but the bass measurements are impressive for the speaker sizes.Quarter wave is popul... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Current Class D has come a long way compared to a few years ago, who wouldn't want good amplification which is more efficient, takes up less space, runs cooler... and is possibly better value depending on which manufacturer you choose.Yes Class D ... | |
| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience This thread is really about your guilt. Using the dealer's showroom as a discovery tool and then doing something like buying Sasha's used for 15k instead of 30k.If I were in your shoes, I might buy the Sasha's used for 15k and then go back to the ... |
