| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? This one is not original Western field coil system but replica made in Japan. But it sounds fast and go deeper. Magico M9 sounds like the best top grade whiskey with no faults at all. But it is too heavy for my second floor listeni... | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? @kennymacc If you are happy with your Revel Salon speaker, that is going to be nice. The problem of audiophile is to keep looking for different flavor like vintage wines. I had been to my favorite vintage store in Seoul. Western 757... | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? I had listened to Magico M9 about two hours ago in private audition. M9 is the best modern speaker that I had ever heard. After attending Pacific Audiofest 2022, 2023 and Seoul Audiofest, there are some nice speakers that draw my attention... | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? @elliottbnewcombjr Thanks for your compliment. I do active biamping on Altec A7 so that I can adjust tweeter horn level easily. It also give more transparent sound. https://youtu.be/hoZ_QaIlAK4 Recently I tend to play Scaena 3.2 mor... | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? @elliottbnewcombjr Nice systems! I hope you enjoy it until you die. I also have Altec A7 which also sounds musical. https://youtu.be/3_rZq998Yhk Thomas | |
| What do you all think of ADS/Braun speakers? ADS bookself was my first love on 1978. It sounds very musical driven by Fisher Integrated and Garrard turntable. Thomas | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? @mschott https://youtu.be/uzKz1TF35Ug I had not listened to M9 yet. But I will have a chance next weekend at Seoul, Korea. I am going there to celebrate first birthday of my granddaughter. The total system to drive 750k $ speaker will cos... | |

| Horns with good timbre and tonality? https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisagca6-altec-lansing-a-7-full-range Beautiful restored Alte A7 is available. i have nothing to do with it. But I am curious how it sounds. Will it sounds betterr than my original Alte A7? htt... | |
| Horns with good timbre and tonality? https://youtu.be/7mqMA6atAZI https://youtu.be/vqHPbgA3NgA Altec A7 also could be good choice. If you do biamping using active crossover, it sounds like almost modern speaker. Thomas | |
| New Improved Fink Team Borg Episode 2 Speakers : End-Game Speakers ? I had listened to it during Pacific Audiofest 2022. it sounds quite good despite modest size. It sounds organic and musical. The end game speaker will depend on your taste and room size. But in medium size room, this one has potent... | |
| budget diy tube preamp beating many expensive preamps... problem with my system? You have a nice buddy! I would not let Puritan 156 out of my system. It made a huge difference in the sound. Congratulation on your success with DIY pre amp. Thomas | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes I do not intend to give detailed comparison of 6f8g tubes. As soon as I do it, price of some tube will be jacked up. Some 6f8g tubes are available under 120$ per pair, thus one had better find out. It is like wine tasting. | |
| Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes @paul_lindemann I have 5 pairs of Sylvania vt231. They are great but with too tight midbass. If your system is bass rich, they may work well. I also have two pairs of Kenrad vt231, thus agree your opinion on it. Kenrad may do won... | |
| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong https://youtu.be/7U4Tpa4Fhx8 This is from Altec A7 made in 60s. This one really sucks as your perception of vintage speaker. 😁 |
