| Best older Krell integrated amp that sounds good? To Unsound: I was not putting down Rrog's advice; he is usually right in his judgements about high end audio. The issue is: are buyers getting what they pay for??. After my short audition of the $18,000 floorstander, I thought how do I measure $50... | |
| Best older Krell integrated amp that sounds good? TO Onhwy 61 They are Acoustic Zen Adagios To Rrog: You are an excitable boy!! Relax. I can't afford even used ARC, Rowlands, PASS. And based on people who have owned a few of Krell's integrateds they provide outstanding sound. But, I appreciate yo... | |
| Some speaker cables produce lower/higher volume? Thank you to all who responded; I appreicate your comments. | |
| Lore vs Vandersteen ICi vs Ohm Walsh Talls To Rootman: Thank you for the comment. I appreciate the advice. As I mentioned I could live with the Lore-M, but somewhat concerned about their bass quality which according to Lore's published specification rolls down to about 37 HZ. Lore M would ... | |
| Lore vs Vandersteen ICi vs Ohm Walsh Talls ZD542, No need to clarify or explain. I may not have followed the instructions to the "T", and the improvements were minimal when I studied the pamphlet. Personally, I think the guy is a jerk who should be more careful what he says to potential c... | |
| Lore vs Vandersteen ICi vs Ohm Walsh Talls TO Zd542: Thank you for your comment. Yes, I was reemed by Mr V. for not reading the manual about setting up the rake angle. (what a joke!!) that is, a folded 2 page blue sheet.is a manual!!!. A real Prince Charming. One wonders he sells anything.... | |
| AntiCables Thank you, fellows. I was just ready to plunk down the dough for the new Anti-Cable Level 3 speaker wire. I currently have the Audio Art SC-5 standard cable which I like very much, but need to step to either their next level, or something much bet... | |
| Some speaker cables produce lower/higher volume? To MK, No trips since the early 70's!!!Rrog. I am turning the volume up, but only relative to what I believe a particular track or CD sounded like before. I wonder if I may be losing my hearing but I think not. Depending on the type of music you l... | |
| Rogue's new Sphinx integrated. Anyone audition it? Passet02 I will keep a look out for your ad for the Rogue Sphinx, should you decide to sell it. My only reservation is the remote which should have included a mute button, and not just volume up and down, should be part of the retail price instead... | |
| Rogue's new Sphinx integrated. Anyone audition it? Thanks to those members who responded so far | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Great thread!! However, there are about few major reviews about the Micro Walsh Talls speakers; Jeff Torgay claims the speakers can not play very loud even with a lot of power. John Potis of 6 Moons claims they have good bass and will play accepta... | |
| Choosing a Floorstander by Footprint Size I would easily second the vote for Monitor Audio's RX-6, but they don't come up that often on AG. In addition shipping to from California to Hawaii would be expensive (I know I live in Honolulu) Two MA's RX-6 boxes weigh in at 45 lbs each, and can... | |
| Getting overtone in a pair of bookshelf speaker. TO Rrog, Actually, I followed Mapman's plan, and it improved the sound alot. The stands I have are semi-crap and are 24 inches high. I elevated the speaker to bring close to ear level. But, I will try your suggestion. There is lots of Koa wood in ... | |
| Getting overtone in a pair of bookshelf speaker. TO ZB542, The amps are a pair Red Dragon digital monoblocks, and a Bel Canto PRe3 line stage. Speaker cable: Audio Art SC-5 (not special edition, that is the SE version) | |
| Getting overtone in a pair of bookshelf speaker. Wow, got a lot of flak on this one. It is not the end of the world; I will just sell them if I dislike them or made a mistake. To Mapman: will follow your prescription and see what happens. I am not sure about the usefulness of aiming the tweeters... |
