Anyone experienced with Rolf Kelch Ref table?
Been to ALL those threads months ago.One reason I was looking for more info.Thanks for the responses.Maybe we'll "hook" an owner -:) Best. 
Quad ESL or Soundlab?
I know the "57" may be a dated design,but "MY GOD",hearing one well driven can be SO much fun!! I remember hearing a gorgeous pair,playing Steely Dan's-AJA awhile ago.Driven by a Classic Audio Research amp.I just "got lost in the presentation"!!Ma... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
I happen to have a carefully voiced dedicated room(thank goodness)of which I am very satisfied finally,but after alot of sweat/experimentation....However I have heard "some" room/set-ups that have little actual treatment,or attention to acoustics,... 
Koetsu cartridges - myth or reality?
I think Raul makes a superlative point("Bravo" for bringing this up Raul)about some arms allowing Koetsus to shine,beyond other choices. I am always amazed how some Koetsu owners claim sonic nirvana(or the opposite)with some of the arm choices use... 
ASR Emitter owners .What speakers are you using?
"Stilty",I have heard the big Emmitter driving the HUGE Nola Gran Ref(at a client of mine).The amp(integrated actually)was about as good as anyone can possibly "need".It was "real/visceral"! It was dynamic,low noise floor,amazing inner detail,best... 
Stereophile claims about Magico
Roypan...."Respectfully",I could not disagree with you more!The new TADs are the superior of the old one,from my own set of tastes,and those I know who heard them. Yes,I know all about the difficulty of making the orig cabinets,and the orig cost b... 
Classic Audio Reproductions
Superb post.You'va answered any questions I might have. 
Stereophile claims about Magico
Dhann,I have to give you credit.You are correct on quite a few points....But unlike the "gas crunch",consumers(on forums like this) have the ability to affect things,though to a small extent and maybe only sometimes. I,myself, absolutely would con... 
YG Acoustics add in Stereophile
Atmosphere,you had intrigued me(a few days ago) by mentioning Classic Audio Reproductions.First oof,the prices seem quite reasonable for the cabinetry alone. Can you possibly mention how these speakers come off,in sound,to you?Are they full range?... 
Stereophile claims about Magico
My friend has had the new version Magico Minis for over six months.It is a fine speaker,and really a beauty to behold.It also fills up space,far more-so than one would think a speaker like this could. As to the sound...it is very slightly less ope... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Raul,I am glad you state it is only your "opinion".Now we are getting somewhere! ... Also,you did a nice web-search regarding your "latest" post info on the Ascents.... That does not replace my extensive exposure to the product....BTW,I completely... 
Koetsu cartridges - myth or reality?
I have owned about four Koetsu designs,ranging from "Black","ONYX","ONYX PLATINUM",and "URUSHI"....All were superb and musical designs. I view the line,compared to other mfgrs like a musician would compare different "tone woods" on a specific acou... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Raul I simply cannot let your assumption of audio theory trump a "fact",which greatly affects the listening experience,and "minimizes a designers expertise,and great effort"...of course you may take the comments as my being defensive about your th... 
Owners of speakers by obscure companies chime in
Atmosphere,you are quickly becoming one of my favorite "thread reads",as I definitely get an impression of true hobbyist concern from you.I wish more mfgrs/dealers were as well intentioned as you.Thank you for your candor! 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Thanks Raul,you've told me all I need to know. Best.
