| Blockbuster goes Blu-ray, HD DVD=beta?, Rysa-4, The lower production costs both for players and disks means HD_DVD will win this in the end, and the lack of any international support for Blu Ray to speak of seals the deal. Quite possibly. However my premise (which may indeed be wrong) i... | |
| Vandersteen 5a or Eggleston Andra II Dev, Shadorne, you mentioned in your thread the Andra's are "a bit bass light". Actually that was supposed to be paraphrasing Mothra ( my fault as I was not clear). I never actually said anything about the Vandy's (I think they are great too) or i... | |
| 3 way vs. 2 way Goatwuss,Well put. I tend to agree. Although some exceptional two ways are pretty impressive (Meyer X 10 for example) but as a generalization, "rule of thumb", I am in total agreement. | |
| Vandersteen 5a or Eggleston Andra II MOthra, Dunlavy sc-IV's (with upgraded tweeter), B&W 801 series 2 limited editions with north creeks crossovers, spendor sc-100's, quad esl-57's, B&W matrix 805's. Awesome I am very impressed by your choices. You have some classics. Perhap... | |
| Vandersteen 5a or Eggleston Andra II Mothra,Ok. I accept that everyone has different tastes and reknown mastering engineers may have odd taste too. Good point. Folllowing one engineer or another may not lead to satisfaction. What do you think is a great speaker then? What is actually... | |
| Horns vs Ribbons vs Dyanamic CES 2008...What does gas cost next year? Stehno, No problem. Peace.If you don't mind checking a newspaper, can you share with us the the three highest year on year growth stocks on the NYSE of 2008? | |
| Esotar T-330D Tweeter Well, the driver in my case is "custom made" by Dynaudio for the speaker manufacturer (at least, that's what I was told). Sometimes the speaker manufacturer modifies the dispersion by changing the waveguide (tweeter faceplate) or simply changes t... | |
| Vandersteen 5a or Eggleston Andra II Mothra,I was intrigued by you "weird" and Wilsons comment and tried to find out what other weird speakers Bob Ludwig might have used. I found nothing on Wilsons, although it is hardly suprising that he would indeed like high end Wilsons. Why not?H... | |
| Vandersteen 5a or Eggleston Andra II I would. He used to use wilson's. very different. What is so wrong with Wilson's are they weird too? mastering peopole have some weird systems. Doug sax has a system I can;t make any sense out of. I agree that the audio industry has it's share of... | |
| Blockbuster goes Blu-ray, HD DVD=beta?, The accelerated race to zero for HD-DVD is troubling when you compare it to the more gradual price compression of DVD.When competitors fight brutally on price...the only winner is their customers. Even stores like Best Buy and Circuit City will l... | |
| Anybody tried this ? CDC,Nice post! Some wisdom there, Grasshopper!I agree about the "voiced to produce dissatisfaction by emphasizing one certain aspect to the detriment of others" ...the trouble is most people buy based on a demo and the demo lasts rarely more than ... | |
| Esotar T-330D Tweeter $530 used!? Yikes is right. I'd better run over to my volume knob and scale it back some right now. But I swear, they're worth it. The $850 per pair includes mark up of course (nobody provides services for free). Nevertheless, this is still a rela... | |
| Horns vs Ribbons vs Dyanamic Shadorne, don't be so elementary. (I don't believe I'm having to respond this way)...I don't expect somebody at your level of understanding to comprehend what I said.I see that "elementary" was either too much for you or simply beneath you. Eithe... | |
| Blockbuster goes Blu-ray, HD DVD=beta?, I went for the Toshiba D2 from Costco. At $249 and 5 free HD DVDs its hard to pass up. I will say that price points like that add a new factor to consumer's decision-making: The "why the heck not?" factor. For $249 you can throw caution to the w... | |
| 3 way vs. 2 way Duke,Once again I find myself in total agreement with your comments.Ditto Eldartford and Jaybo.These forums can be extremely informative.Back to the original question I notice may of the Totems have only a tweeter and a driver. Can I get as good s... |
