| Horns vs Ribbons vs Dyanamic Jaybo, our so-called 'test' cd was a Natalie Merchant cd. But after 70 or so rounds you can bet it started to sound like a real test cd.Shadorne, I thought your response was flippant and presumptuous and it seemed to clearly indicate that you did ... | |
| Horns vs Ribbons vs Dyanamic Very interesting responses.Bill, the new speakers are Legacy Focus HD. Not the best speaker in the world but they certainly seem to hold their own and are a tremendous value for their price.Chadnliz, I don't recall being quite as dogmatic as you'r... | |
| Horns vs Ribbons vs Dyanamic I'm a bit partial at the moment to ribbons. I very recently received a new pair of full-range speakers that include ribbon tweeter and ribbon midrange. My first real in-depth or analytical experience with ribbons.There is a substantial improvement... | |
| What is "polite" sound? My interpretation of polite is lacking dynamics or liveliness. Generally not a good thing unless you're into background elevator-type music. | |
| Heard the Abbingdon Music research CD player? Dazzdax, you are correct. But apparently Jaybo had something to prove.Dazz, I don't think the AMR system was like any of the ones you mentioned. My initial post way above mentioned how this system (it was all AMR but with Virtual Dynamics cabling)... | |
| What speakers play the loudest cleanly ? Acoustat6, my loud comment was half in jest (I did have a smiley after the comment), but those are the listening volumes for me especially for some of the more rambunctious guilty pleasure types of music I enjoy.BTW, when a topic such as loudness,... | |
| What speakers play the loudest cleanly ? That's loud? I consider 94 db to 105 db to be rich, full, and room filling. Beyond that is when the fun begins. :)BTW, cool bikes.-IMO | |
| Most Effective Tweaks Send your favorite ics and scs and pcs to Doug at Cryo-Nebraska. If you liked your cables before, you should fall in love with them after. All for about $100 or less.Replace all external and especially internal fuses with cryo-treated gold-plated ... | |
| Heard the Abbingdon Music research CD player? In at least some ways, the AMR stuff was some of the best I heard at CES. That was on Tuesday night. By Wednesday morning they had swapped out the Virtual Dynamics cabling and installed the AMR cabling and the system took a serious step downward. ... | |
| Carpet or not Because of the smaller size of the room, I'd recommend a very thick pile carpet with the heaviest/thickest pad underneath covering every square inch of the floor.-IMO | |
| which is better speaker cable If you're open to other cabling, I would like to suggest finding a pair of Audio Tekne speaker cables. Stock, the thin and extremely flexible Tekne ics and scs are the smoothest, most detailed, and musical I've yet heard. Then I had them double-cr... | |
| Uh Oh, Not another Bi-Wire thread... In my limited experience, at best bi-wiring can provide perhaps a 5 - 10% gain in sonics. Small but noticeable and pleasant. But that is only under certain conditions, ie speaker type, cabling type, amps, etc.. At worst, there is little or no audi... | |
| Speaker Recommendations $2-4k a pair used A used pair of Aerial Acoustic Model 10T speakers would be pretty hard to beat in this price range. -IMO | |
| CES / THE Show I heard a 'glimpse' of the Reference 3a room (I don't know if the speakers were the Grand Veenas). We were pressed for a scheduled meeting and from what little I heard (almost standing out in the hallway) they were very impressive and I wanted to ... | |
| CES / THE Show Overall, I thought CES went quite well. Moving CES/Audio to The Venetian Hotel was probably a very good idea for exposing high-end audio to the general public since so many non-audio CES patrons had to walk the halls. I heard numerous times that o... |
