| Is this rude? Eddaytona and Vinylphile:Thank you for your clarifications and thoughtful posts. Shalom. | |
| Is this rude? Vinylphile, I don't like your comment. It's insensitive and inappropriate. Eddaytona's comment on the other hand is responsive to Omains thread.Audiogon and the audio internet sites more generally, have made retailing in High End audio more compet... | |
| Opinions regarding JMlab Alto Be? I have heard the three major contendors listed and would put the JM Labs at the top of the list though the Wilsons and the Dynaudios are also very good. If you are looking at this price point then the speakers you have listed are good options. To ... | |
| Question for Meitner DAC owners I am also using the Shunyata Anaconda VX Alpha to very good success. A great cord and match for the DAC 6 IMO. | |
| DIY Speaker Kits - Suggestions. Linkwitz Orion is a great choice and right up there among the world's best speakers. See www.linkwitzlab.com. I owned and enjoyed the Orions for about 1 year and thoroughly enjoyed them, coherent, dynamic, great low end, airy high end, easy to pla... | |
| JM Lab Mezzo or Red Rose classic?? I am not that familiar with the Classics, though I have been very impressed with the other Red Rose speakers. The JM Lab Mezzos (or are you referrring to the Alto Be?) are terrific and the company is one that should be around for a long time (thou... | |
| Revel Studio vs. JM Lab Micro BE The JM Labs BE are a great speaker line but the two times I heard them with BAT amps I was very disappointed. This doesn't mean that no BAT amps will work but the JM Lab speaker need the right amps to shine (the Burmesters sound great with them). ... | |
| Are Revel Salons too much? Chm3986, you may want to consider the Tact Room Correction System, 2.2x which makes placement of speakers near the rear wall possible while correcting for room anomolies. While I don't currently have this system, I did in the past, and it made spe... | |
| JM Lab Alto Be vs Revel Salon I have had a very different reaction to the the two speakers than Aron. Both are excellent speakers. The Altos are anything but dull, however. Paired with the right electronics (eg, Burmester) they are extremely dynamic and alive sounding, IMO, mo... | |
| Sonus Faber Amati Homage versus Vandersteen 5A I agree with Natnic. I recently heard the 5As and less recently the Amatis. Both are superb speakers. The 5As do most everything right and are extremely coherent. That said, I found the 5As, at least in the setup I heard (paired with Quicksilver a... | |
| Do It Yourself Speakers Try out the Linkwitz Orions (www.linkwitzlab.com). Plenty of others working on this design and they are among the finest speakers I have ever heard, price no object. You'll be hard pressed to find a more well supported DIY project or a better soud... | |
| Any Green Mountain Audio Continuum 3 owners ? I heard these speakers at Mike's place and they are fabulous and I mean right at the very top of the best speakers out there. As to appearance, they are good enough looking and would probably make it past most people's "wife" or partner test. They... | |
| Revel Studios for half price? I would second the last post on the Green Mountain Audio C-3s. I just heard them at a friend's house who is a true audiphile and they were amazing. I have listened to the Studios and Salons extensively and yes they are great speakers, BUT, the Gre... | |
| Balanced Passive ""Preamps"--any recommendations? I have had both the Bent and the Audio Consulting Silver Rock passives. In my system, there was no comparison. The Silver Rock is the best preamp I have ever had. Total transparency, solid bass, a marvel. Obviously, system matching is very importa... | |
| Anyone have any experience w/ Usher AC-10's?... Not exactly on point, but, I owned the 8871s and they were fabulous, comparable in my opinion, to many speakers I have owned at much higher price. The cabinet work is beautiful though they are much bigger than I expected and weigh a ton. When I bo... |
