| Speakers for a small room, looking for feedback The North Acoustic Spirit bookshelves really are made for that kind of placement. You shouldn't be put off by the fact that they got a good review in the current TAS. It's deserved.The Totem Arros will also do well in that situation. Or, if you're... | |
| Who makes a "true" Transmission Line speaker?... The Reynaud's I am familiar with are more line tunnels than transmission line, but I gather you have all been over these differences.I haven't read the entire thread, but I heard the VSA 4 Juniors in the same room on the same day as the rest of PA... | |
| Any funny audiofile stories??? One of my earliest systems was a pair of BIC Venturis, Advent 300 receiver and beautiful little Connoisseur turntable. My parents were away for the week, but our cleaning lady was scheduled to come in a couple of times as usual. One night with the... | |
| Philadelphia area audio club? Hi Dave. The group is highly informal, with no official structure or membership.We're sort of waiting for the next seminar suggestion or listening session to be made and attract people's attention.It's spring. Should I try that local speaker manuf... | |
| Philadelphia area audio club? I know of someone online in a different context who goes by the moniker "Nerfherder", and I want to join in thanking Rushton for hosting our assembly. Maybe it's time again to bring up the standing invite I'm pretty sure we have to the high end de... | |
| Ugliest speaker ever? The new cyclops VMPS model looks hideous in photos. | |
| Philadelphia area audio club? Just a quick note about a future event we have an opportunity to plan together. As a result of my merciless, albeit altruistic, spamming of Philly region resident audioasylum folks, we have contacted a high end speaker manufacturer and electronics... | |
| Any funny audiofile stories??? This is more plaintive than funny, but this is the closest thing to the appropriate thread.I worked in production at the Apt Corporation. Tom Holman had a very, very severe thing about not liking anodized black aluminum faceplates, so his products... | |
| Philadelphia area audio club? Any of those dates and times appear to work for me, but in general I prefer avoiding mornings, where possible, due to the commute from CC. Thanks. Hugh | |
| What is the best regarded desktop speaker? After owning the Eminent Technology LFT-VIIIs, I would suggest you at least consider their planar/dynamic "sub" desktop speakers. You would have to agree with their sales pitch that beaming in this application is desirable. (Or should I say narrow... | |
| Bi-wiring/Bi-amping...worth the fuss and expense? The advantages of bi-wiring may be situational, but to say that each wire delivers the same signal is misinformed or disingenuous about the arguments put forth in favor of bi-wiring - about which many people disagree.The main argument is that havi... | |
| New Speakers 1k I am interested in the Quads, phasecorrect, but fail to see how a 6 or 6.5" woofer in that size cabinet can rival the low end of a large cabinet, t-line 1C. If it will play louder and more cleanly than a 1C, even with more restricted bandwidth, th... | |
| CES 2003 - Any Audition/Picture Requests? I second the vmps and Meadowlark requests. How about the new Quad dynamic line? | |
| Philadelphia area audio club? This is a transplant of some of my posts at harmonic discord. My name is Hugh. I got started when a high end impresario named Herb Hamburger walked into the Lafayette Radio Electronics I worked at as a teenager and began talking about Thiel, Symde... | |
| Monitor with a full range sound? Vandersteen has a monitor he wanted to get flat to at least 40hz to mate with his sub's 6db/octave crossover. (On the drawing boards still?) Wilson Benesch monitors go fairly low. For less money, and less extension, there is the Infinity 2.6 activ... |
