| Totem Hawk: Outdated compared to newer spks?? First Mr. Parneer, I am not a great believer that older technology has the sonic charm to possibly sound better than newer speaker technology. On rare occasions, that might be true as several members have qualified. Basically, to me that is an old... | |
| Replacement drivers that ARE NOT NEW STOCK? Ebm: Thanks for the negative vibes, Actually, the speakers are going back to the seller and the claim is being handled by UPS. MOFi, After posting this thread and giving it much thought, I decided to bag the idea of getting the VR-1 repaired. Mill... | |
| New speaker technology vs. Old speaker tech??? I appreciate and thank those who have responded so far. For the record. the Monitor Audio GX-50 Gold claims a frequency response of 55-60KhZ; whereas, Von Schweikert VR-1 an almost 12"X12"X12") box indicated a frequency response of 45Hz to 25,000 ... | |
| Most enjoyable speaker you heard under $800?? To JL-35, What did you like about the Dali Zensor I speaker?? It appears more like a Home Theater back channel speaker Also. I answered your question about what speakers I found enjoyable to listen to by citing Monitor Audio RS-6 which I spent hou... | |
| Why do MM cartridges amplify more surface noise?? Thanks to all who responded to the thread.To Stringreen. Rega P3-24 table has two front rubber feet that stand inch high, and one rear middle leg.

| Most enjoyable speaker you heard under $800?? TO: JL35 Acoustic Zen Adagio Monitor Audio RS-6 Silverline Prelude II Green Mountain "Europa" Vandersteen CI Epos 12 or 12i . As much as I like the AZ Adagios, the Silverline Prelude II was possibly the best overall sound, but they take 700 hours... | |
| Why do MM cartridges amplify more surface noise?? For the record, both the Ortofon Blue and AT 120 were recommended for the Rega RB301 tonearm. I was pleasantly surprised at the AT120's sound. Its main limitations were the highs, and the soundstage was nether wide nor deep. AT has a lot of MM's o... | |
| Most enjoyable speaker you heard under $800?? Thanks to all who responded so far. I should have probably asked for speakers marketed within the last 10-15 years Nah!! because I always thought the Rectilinear 3, and the original large Advents sounded natural were easy to listen to....but that ... | |
| Planars/ Electrostats benefits over box speakers? Thanks again to those who responded, especially "Almarg" who always provides valuable technical information. Yes, Al.

| Do Pangea PC's really outperform standard PC's Ok, thank you for answering my questions in this thread. Among the better power cords available, how does the Acoustic Zen Tsumani Plus rate, and is the Pangea's new AC9SEMKII a marked improvement over it?? Interestingly, the new Audience PC is on... | |
| Any comments on Synergistic Research Atmosphere To Alectiong: So what is the verdict regarding the sound quality?? It seems like you were "UNDERWHELMED" if you are already planning to sell them so soon. Did you ever try the Audience SE series of both speaker cable and interconnects?? If so, let... | |
| Can't get Acoustic Zen Adagios to sound smooth To ZD542, Don't laugh, and ruin the armistice we sort of have achieved. I used for 3 years the Audio Art SC-5 which after a long break-in sounded very good. Sam Tellig of Sterophile Mag often mentioned them in his speaker reviews. However, I would... | |
| Can't get Acoustic Zen Adagios to sound smooth To Mmeysarosh, Your comment exactly described what I am hearing and have heard over the last 4 years. It is not been painful, just overall disappointing. At the same time, let me say. the Adagios provide a wonderful accuracy in the mid-range. Howe... | |

After talking to MiKe at Ayre, I anticipated the cost to be about $250 plus shipping to Boulder Co. I am a little concerned about the install of a newer tra... |
