| Is there such a speaker...(loud but smooth)? ATC sounds interesting. They have had a following in some rock circles and a few high end night clubs/concert halls. So go ATC if you want very loud but Hi-Fi rather than PA sound quality. PA horn type speakers will still go louder more cheaply a... | |
| Live infectious funk jams....quality recordings The Dirty Dozen Brass Band do a great cover of The Meters "Cissy Strut"...they are well worth checking out too for infectious funk - you won't be able to keep still I absolutely guarentee it!! | |
| Stereophile review of Escalante Fremont JKalman,I checked out Signe "Eric Clapton" Unplugged (first track on CD).I found almost no difference between AKG 240 headphones and my speakers...apart from the obvious that the sound was in my head with the headphones. I guess it does not mean m... | |
| Supertramp remasters They are mastered too hot, IMHO....originals were better. | |
| Is there such a speaker...(loud but smooth)? So your going with a bookshelf!!! u so crazy man...LOL...yes I was surprised by this too although if he were to go with the small ATC SCM19's you can still get pretty loud. Another speaker that can go loud is Meyer HD 1...also small but deceiving... | |
| ATC active or Tannoy TD12? Well seeing as I own Active 100's - you already know the answer! More seriously, I have not heard the TD12's - I bet they sound awesome and I am not sure what sort of a level up you might get - if you love your TD12's then it might be sideways or ... | |
| Quad 57 stacked v Wilson watt puppy 6/7 Yep- whatever it is if you can't find it look behind the refrigerator. Duh? No way - look IN the refrigerator - that is where the beer is kept! (A beer is better than finding mouse droppings behind the frige but that too, is of course, entirely s... | |
| Stereophile review of Escalante Fremont this thread was on fremont's or I am wrong? LOL - quite right.JK,I will check that Clapton unplugged song tonight first on my speakers ( which tend to be polite or rolled off in the highs - because they are silk dome tweets ) and then on my trust... | |
| Is there such a speaker...(loud but smooth)? I am wondering...Is there a speaker that will get quite loud (almost concert level volume) but still have soft smooth highs at higher volumes than most home audio speakers? ATC play extremely loud (concert level) without any effort or strain. Hig... | |
| Stereophile review of Escalante Fremont What about Beryllium? What sacrifice is made with that material? Beryllium was used in the Yamaha NS1000 - so proof that these designs can sound extremely good. The success of the Wilsons and JMLabs are also proof that they work extremely well (a... | |
| Stereophile review of Escalante Fremont I am questioning that anyone has heard it on the W/P8.The WP8 uses technologies from the MAXX - my understanding is that Wilson has improved on the problem of "grain" or "etched" sound from Titanium drivers (to me the need for "improvement" is ad... | |
| Which allround speaker ? Your best choice, given your tastes, would probably be the Silverline Bolero or Beolab 5. | |
| Stereophile review of Escalante Fremont The “brightness” of the Watt comes from its tweeter's dome break-up that is too close to the audioband. It is not brightness, it is simply distortion. Some, may find it exciting. Almost all extremely rigid light weight drivers seem to run into re... | |
| Quad 57 stacked v Wilson watt puppy 6/7 Quads => Yamaha NS1000M => WP 6/7 arranged in order of increasing loudness/dynamics/reliability. The Yamaha's are awesome - just don't push 'em too hard. | |
| Which allround speaker ? I second Jaybo's suggestions - all of those speakers he listed will be better for your needs/requirements than your Thiels. |
