| Anyone have thoughts on the Peak Consult Zoltans? Hey Sirspeedy - Off Topic a smidgen: I used to own a pair of Avalon Acent Mk. II loudspeakers, drove them with a Cello Duet 350. What a great system that was - those two seemed to be a match made in heaven. I had tried the speakers with a Mark Lev... | |
| Anyone have thoughts on the Peak Consult Zoltans? Hi Metralla - you know, I comletely forgot about TAD and their extraordinary technical achievements with Beryllium drivers! Bad on me ... I also had no idea that Yamaha made a beryllium midrange at all, never mind 25 years ago! I recall using the ... | |
| Anyone have thoughts on the Peak Consult Zoltans? Audiooracle,I understand your difficulty and I'm sorry you get so upset. As I said, Usher makes very good budget speakers, many of them copies of past designs from other manufacturers, but still very good speakers for the money.As for the Continuu... | |
| Anyone have thoughts on the Peak Consult Zoltans? Audiooracle, you are indeed indefatigable.For me: The fact remains that Chinese HiFi is not about cutting-edge, it is about cutting costs, cutting wages, and cutting corners.My focus is solely on the highest of the high end performers, the best of... | |
| Anyone have thoughts on the Peak Consult Zoltans? The difference, Audiooracle, is that Speedy knew ahead of time that I was the importer because I introduced myself to him that way on a previous thread. The fact remains that Usher and other Chinese-made speakers are fabulous - for what they are: ... | |
| Anyone have thoughts on the Peak Consult Zoltans? Sir Speedy,I'm told by Peak in Denmark that another review of the Zoltan was just published in Hi Fi News, done by Martin Collums.As for Audiooracle's contention that Zoltan is not worth it's asking price, please keep in mind that he is a retailer... | |
| Peak Consult Princess speakers? Hey Speedy,Just finished HE 2006, still lodged in the hotel. After having used the new Berning ZH270 SE for the show, I can tell you that I'm REALLY impressed with this amplifier and I'm looking forward very much to hearing the higher-end designs ... | |
| Peak Consult Princess speakers? Hi Speedy,Thanks for the kind words. Did you get the impedance and phase plot I sent for Diablo? It's a beaut, it's for real, and I've never seen anything like it except maybe from a ribbon or a resistor.If you're out in LA (I'm here now), come to... | |
| Peak Consult Princess speakers? Hi Kops,Nothing wrong with the SF Amati Anniversario - we all choose the flavor we like, and I respect that. No matter the designer or brand, there is always something that a 2-way loudspeaker can do that 3-way or more cannot do - and that is the ... | |
| Peak Consult Princess speakers? Hi Kops,I appreciate your writing me back and it gives me an opportunity to address something important: You are confused about the Peak models. InCognito-X is a floor-standing loudspeaker, 2-way, and is a model above the Princess. It is essential... | |
| Peak Consult Princess speakers? By way of comparison it is difficult, only because there are the obvious performance differences (more output and much more low frequency performance from the InCognito-X), and obvious build differences.In terms of presentation I would say that th... | |
| Peak Consult Princess speakers? Sorry - I forgot to answer your query about tubes.Because the impedance is so benign (see the email that I sent to you with the impedance and phase plot of El Diablo) all amplifiers are treated very gently and allowed to perform at their best ... ... | |
| Peak Consult Princess speakers? Hi Speedy,Show systems can be hit or miss. It's very hard to get placement right within the time constraints of a show. At home or in the studio I tend to take many days and even weeks to dial in speakers, as I think many others do, as well. Show ... | |
| Peak Consult Princess speakers? So jaded ... that you can at once insist that Sonus Faber is NOT overpriced and then level that criticism at InCognito-X ... why? Peak Consult is a long-established company in Europe, over 10 years in business. Per Kristoffersen is easily one of t... | |
| Siltech G5 range compare with Stereovox Reference Hi Dgob,We do phonocables with XLR terminations as custom products for Continuum Audio Labs. The only phono stage I know of that has XLR inputs is the Boulder, for which we've made a couple of phono cables for past clients. |
