| Will power conditioning really help? I use a P300 on all of my front end components and I have had many friends come over and do the with and without test. Clearly it makes a huge improvement to have it in the system. | |
| Bose 901 Multiple drivers designed to replicate any portion of the audio band in a single box in ANY speaker design, not just Bose, just smear the harmonic content of the signal they're fed. This just screws up the timbre and is funadamentally inaccurate.P... | |
| sub for vandersteen signature 2ces 2Wq: your only logical and best choice. | |
| BEST AUDIOGON POSTS I liked it when Michael Fremer kicked into gear to attack Richard Hardesty. That was cool. I used to have great respect for Fremer, and I still read his Sphile column, but I no longer trust his ears. | |
| Tri Vista looking for some new speakers How can you possibly consider owning speakers that invert the midrange driver due to high order crossovers and effectively REMOVE harmonic content that contributes to timbre accuracy? Or maybe hearing as much of what makes individual instruments s... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I like what I like, and I continue to learn more about what I like as time moves on.Well said Tvad, and that is exactly why we value the 'gon. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE But we're talking about speakers, and I want those speaker designs that provide accuracy in reproducing the signal I am hearing from either tubes or solid state electronics. How else do you really know what you're hearing? It is common sense to ch... | |

| Amps for Thiel CS 2.2 JBL makes junk. Inaccurate, time incoherent and phase inaccurate. Loses timbre all over the place.Thiels and Vendersteens are the ONLY speakers worth listening to, that is if you care about them reproducing accurately the signal fed them. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE The only speakers worth owning are those that are accurate in reproducing the original signal fed them.And that means only Thiel or Vandersteen. ALL others are NOT accurate and LOSE much of that information by losing harmonics that are contained i... | |
| Amps for Thiel CS 2.2 You should obtain good results with your Classe to a point, i.e. there will be a volume above which the sound will harden as you push the Classe above its current produsing capabilities. Depending on the size of your room, this may not be a concer... | |
| best amp / amps to drive totem mani-2's I heard these driven amazingly well with a cj MF200 (solid state) amp in MOntreal back in 1998. They had excellent bass extension and natural dynamics, I couldn't believe how much sound was coming from these relatively small stand mount monitors. ... | |

| best intergrated for vandersteen 2ce sig. I have a Rogue Cronus on the way for my Vandersteen 2Ces and will post a review with my initial impressions when it arrives. | |
