| Magnepan owners : past / present I have owned 1.6s twice and a pair of 3.5rs. Magnepan makes a good speaker but ultimately I moved on every time. Two speaker desgns that I liked much more than the maggies were Piegas and Green Mountain Audio.Shakey | |
| VTL ST 150, Audio Research VT 100, mk. II I have an old style ST-150. I am driving a pair of GMA Continuum C3 HDs. This is a great combo and the amp has plenty of grunt and finesse all at once. So far it has been extremely reliable and the output tubes hold their bias. I would recommend i... | |
| Thiel CS 3.7 vs Tidal Piano Cera >The fact that no Tidal owners have post a comment about your question shows that none of them considers Thiel a competitive product to a Tidal.<That is your opinion. It is a fact that no Tidal owner has commented, but the reason behind this... | |
| Sonic Frontiers - A Score or a Flushing? >Awful sounding amp in stock form.<I agree wholeheartedly with the above statement. I've never heard it modified in any way, so can't speak to that.Shakey | |
| Albert Von Schweikert VR-4 I owned a pair of the VR4 Silver speakers from 1996-1999. I must say I really enjoyed them and at 1200.00 they are a steal. If you have the room to support them, I would not hestiate. As you already know, they are capable of prodigious bass respon... | |
| ARC VT200 or Sonic Frontiers I had a SF Power 2 a few years ago. I would NOT recomned this amp. Sounding like SS, and had an upper bass bump that was very annoying. Shakey | |

| How To Ship Heavy Speakers With Insurance? I also highly recommend Pilot. I shipped 400 lbs of speakers from Virginia to Phoenix and it cost me only 390.00 including insurance.Shakey | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? "rock or jazz or other over driven drivel , why would anyone want to subject their ears to that kind of torture ?"What a pompous statement that is. Have you ever thought that many (MANY) people actually like that "over driven drivel", and actually... | |
| Experienced audiophiles best speaker I think you guys are missing the point. The OP is not asking me what speakers didn't make YOUR cut. He is asking what MY opinion is (and YOURS too, but you understand). It is entirely subjective, but so what? I don't think it is making a blanket s... |
