Wilson Maxx 3
I've heard the Alexia's twice. The last occasion was two weeks ago. They sounded fantastic. It's just not what I want in my system. I need a slightly larger more dynamic speaker which the Maxx 3 is capable of doing over the Alexia's. My Watt Puppy... 
Wilson Maxx 3
I had the choice of Sashas, Alexias and Maxx 3 to replace my Watt Puppy 7 speakers. I think I will go with the Maxx 3. The Alexia and Sasha do indeed have newer drivers. I thought the Maxx 3 was the first to receive the updated midrange driver? I ... 
Wilson Alexia 20x15 Room
I disagree somewhat with the last two posts. It is true turning it up will mask a bad system's flaws however, you have not mentioned what type of system. Mid-fi system or High end system? I will explain why. If you have a highly resolving system w... 
Transparent Music Wave Super sort of Review
I am also a recent Transparent Super convert. The same thing, I noticed the tightness in "mid bass" on my Wilson WP/7's returned when switching over from Signal silver speaker cables. The first thing I actually noticed was how quiet the system bec... 
Bass Attenuation - best approach
I owned Odysseys for quite awhile and loved them when I had an all Martin Logan HT system. Have you tried moving them farther out away from the walls? 
2 subwoofers?
I also have two JL Audio F113's. I have them in a 20 X 15 room. I did start with one in the room and when I added the second later that day after listening to the single F113 the bass response was even smoother. The room loaded better on low end m... 
Soundlab speakers with sub woofers?
Keithmundy,That is exactly how I have them running. I'm using Transparent Audio super interconnects balanced signal from the pre to the subs crossed over at 40HZ. You can only sense they are on if the music has definite bottom end. It's amazing on... 
Soundlab speakers with sub woofers?
Two JL Audio Fathom 112 or 113's depending on your room size. If you have the room to setup the Soundlabs and have room for two subwoofers. The key to getting any sub to sound good is proper placement within the room. It also requires time to find... 
Transparent Super MM2 Vs Zen Satori Speaker Cables
I also have started using Transparent Super cables in my system. I now have Music Wave Super interconnects MM2 technology balanced that have replaced Synergistic Research Resolution Reference balanced interconnects. I also changed to the Music Wav... 
Review: Transparent Music Wave Super Speaker cable
I just picked up 3 Transparent Music Wave Super speaker cables. I now have two for my Wilson WP7's, and one for my Watch center. These replaced Signal silver reference cables. The sound is amazing. The instruments are in a quiet background. They d... 
Are HDMI cables hot swapable?
I have "hot swapped" repeatedly without any incident. I swap my video side HDMI back and forth between my Oppo BDP-105 and Classe SSP-800. 
Topnotch BluRay Concert.....
Worth repeating as the others have stated. I have Jeff Beck, Dave Matthews-Tim Reynolds,and John Mayer. All of those I have used as a demo at one time or another. The David Gilmoure live at the Royal Albert Hall is very good especially if you like... 
Topnotch BluRay Concert.....
I also have Return to Forever's live at Montreux 2008. Great sounding disc and I love RTF, BUT for me I do not like hearing instruments in the rear channels! I was around when Quadraphonic was new and had a flashback to that era when listening to ... 
Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source?
Harri 009,Nice try with the smart ass comment about "uncared for disc/media. I take care of my media.I've got vinyl records probably older than you! I unfortunately have a disc in a box set that was scratched by me. The "uncared for media/disc" pl... 
Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source?
Jay,I was trying to convey the fact that the Ayre sounds good but the lack of error correction is a killer. None of you in your right mind would sit down and try to listen to a piece of music on a player that could not play a CD that every other m...
