| What is your favorite material for loudspeakers? JohnYou take speaker building to a conscientious high. So what is the brand name on your speakers? or do you just make them on a custom basis? | |
| Smooth treble DazzdaxGreat observation about the transition from low fi to mid fi. It appears to me that a number of speaker companies "pray" on those people, knowing that they will be in awe of the "detail" that speaker reproduces. I own a small shop and have ... | |
| best sub for spendor s8e and 2500 c feet room? That is a great suggestion.. I forgot about the Hsu's. Heard them at the CES show a number of years ago and they sounded good. | |
| best sub for spendor s8e and 2500 c feet room? You can go with cheap subs if you don't push them to go down into the 20's. Set them to roll off at 36hz +- and they will work fine. Even expensive and big name subs can and often do sound bad at those low frequencies. Two less expensive subs shou... | |
| Amp: Integrated - Used; - Sub $750 Help :- There is a great little integrated on agon. Uses EL-34's. This little amp can really make magic and is much more powerful than it has any right to be. I used to sell a lot of them until they were discontinued. Here is the one on agon. http://www.a... | |
| BAT VK3i or Manley Shrimp? SojournerI believe there is an Ultrverve on agon for $1200. I am a dealer for deHavilland and this is the preamp we had at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. You can visit our website for info on that. In any event I will shortly be accused of selling... | |
| What is your favorite material for loudspeakers? QuidoWow. That is so much more than mdf. The Finnish stuff I understand is the best. I would love to hear what some of the more expensive speakers would sound like if they were made from this stuff. That would be a project wouldn't it. Take a vand... | |
| Verity Parsifal or Magico V3 or Wilson Benesch ACT DhaanBy all means enlighten me. Tell me exactly why carbon fiber cabinets are not technologically advanced compared to most other options. I believe Marten Coltrane speakers at 60K are made of carbon fiber. Perhaps their engineers are fools like me. | |
| Verity Parsifal or Magico V3 or Wilson Benesch ACT DhaanYou are mixing two separate but very important issues.Number one a cabinet should be very stiff to avoid resonance. Resonance as when a violin resonates when the strings are plucked. Most speaker manufactures boast about their thick 3/4" mdf ... | |
| What is your favorite material for loudspeakers? JohnK Are you a speaker manufacture or just a "crazy" audiophile like the rest of us? That sounds like fun but a lot of work as well. Just curious how much the Birch ply costs per sheet and how hard is it to work with, doing the corners and miters... | |
| Verity Parsifal or Magico V3 or Wilson Benesch ACT Gundam91I didn't get to hear them at the RMAF. Kind of busy in our room. You can see our room on our website. DhannJust as a side note. Carbon fiber is used to build the Stealth bomber. When the radar waves hit the carbon fiber they are almost ins... | |
| Verity Parsifal or Magico V3 or Wilson Benesch ACT I had the opportunity to hear the Verity Sarastro's. I am a Wilson benesch dealer and am always on the lookout for really good sounding speakers and not simply big brands. I thought the Verity's were nice sounding, a little laid back, with good so... | |
| Preamp recommendations up to $2000 XrayzI see there is a deHavilland Mercury on agon for $1900. Don't let that slip by. | |
| What is your favorite material for loudspeakers? JohnI have had some speakers in house made from birch plywood. What a relief over MDF. Much better tonal quality. I think the big difference is that MDF has so much glue in it. Much more mass and that acts like a solar heat sink holding in the res... | |
| Dynavector cartridge upgrade decision MadfloydI think you would love the Te Kaitora Rue. I am dealer. Can't offer a comparison but can tell you that the whole line of Dynavector cartridges are smooth fast transparent.... I wouldn't get to carried away. Save a few bucks for interconnects. |
