| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Raul,from a "purley listening experience" perspective,and from what "your own ears" told you(not some importer), what problem did you think you encountered with the Ascent's "complex" crossover(btw,it is over 130 parts,whew)?....I'd be interested ... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Well Raul,the actual reason why Avalon stopped adding this crossover to future designs was due to it's extensive cost/wife acceptance factors/additional crating/shipping costs,amongst other factors...Not performance limitations!..Sometimes I belie... | |
| Quad ESL or Soundlab? Atmosphere,I really enjoyed your post.Very interesting,and quite plausible.You define the saying.."knowledge is power"! Best. | |
| Sota Millenia vs Kuzma Stabi reference vs VPI HRX Sorry to hear that James.Quite the contrary to my experiences,over many years dealing with the SOTA products. FWIW,the series IV update is to better isolate the motor/mount,and adds significant damping to the sub-assembly.I had the series III and ... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Yes Raul,I guess you cannot gain any further insight from me,so I will not post,here,on the subject. Best. | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Raul,I DID state my experiences,in a "today,or any other today, and yesterday" system!As my friend Sid Marks always states---"if I cannot hear the distortion(or my friends cannot either)then I don't care"....He knows a thing or two about music,as ... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Bob,I could not agree more,with your "audio philosophy",as stated in your last post. | |
| Sota Millenia vs Kuzma Stabi reference vs VPI HRX To be fair,a few of my close pals have VPI tables/products(mostly the very latest TNT w/12.6 arm,and latest heavy platter)and they are anything but dry.Quite superb actually. | |
| Sota Millenia vs Kuzma Stabi reference vs VPI HRX Amfibius,I did not like the old suspension either,among other things....I had owned Stars as well..two of them.The new models are in a different universe totally,in all aspects!...The suspension on the Cosmos III,and IV is almost stiff in downward... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? "well you use the best tools for measure:your experiences ears/brain,through them(IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT KNOW HOW)you know if things are fine"!!!!!!!!....... Raul,didn't I emphatically,(and obviously hopelessly) state "that" thought...."multiple ti... | |
| Sota Millenia vs Kuzma Stabi reference vs VPI HRX FWIW,the Cosmos is far more beautiful(IMO)than the Millenia.It has the advantage of a "nested platter",not unlike the pricey Continuum tables(the belt and motor are not subject to as much dust/air borne pollution).Also,the Cosmos(I've owned three ... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? OK Raul,I give up!...Have a nice weekend.-:) | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Raul,my feelings on the subject are from "real world" experience,as stated,as well as careful listening(by myself, and other hobbyists I respect,who have actually heard ALL of "my" systems over the years)and believe it or not, somewhat of an under... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? BTW,forgot to mention,if there is coloration from the Magico Minis,like Gregadd assumes must occur,I cannot hear it(except maybe a touch of upper mid softness,which is rather nice actually).It IS "that" good a speaker,and makes me think that the B... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Gregadd,I felt the way you do,about my friend's potential from the Magico's bass(before he actually bought them),but I am talking relatively flat to 31 hz(down maybe 5db at most),which is where the meter can measure NO lower!!What can I say,it's n... |
