Norh Speakers from Thailand: High-end or Hype??
TO Zorpman, While I was writing my response,I calculated that I might draw some criticism from the membership. Regretably, I wish I had the resourses of being more adventuresome, and you are probably right that basing my conclusion on the opinions... 
Norh Speakers from Thailand: High-end or Hype??
I want to thank everyone who so far has contributed to this post. Though, my instincts of 35 years of reading audio mags, classified ads and working in the business, make me lean more toward the observations of members "Kasperhauser" and "Esmerald... 
Anyone heard the MK III Innersound Eros??
I am sure everything 1musiclover says is accurate about MkII's, but I have also heard and read their sweet spot is about 18inches wide; anything beyond that... response imaging, etc drops off considerably. And this is why I have never seriously co... 
Amphion Loudspeakers
Because I have been looking for speakers so long, and still believe I may find a hi-end speaker that is truly unique looking and great sounding, that this type of post is irritating. If these speakers are so great why have they not entered the mai... 
Time to replace speakers, suggestions wanted
Who is ACI?? Do they have a Website?? What is the retail price of the Talisman mentioned by one of the members ?? 
Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Meadowlark Osprey
I'm not sure this discussion is going anywhere positive; nevertheless, let me put my 2cents into the fray, because I am also interested in the Ospreys in the hope they will "ultimately" solve my need for a very hi-end speaker for not a lot of mone... 
New Meadowlark Ospreys
I think it will be at least a month or better before we get a reliable and objective evaluation of the Meadowlark Osprey. It will take that long for dealer's to receive their "demo" models and for "some" break-in time. I hope for ML's sake this mo... 
Audes' "Blue" Speaker: 2000 Marvel?
FOLLOW-UP TO MY ORIGINAL POST. I want to thank all members who have responded so far, especially since I posted this question back in June. I currently have some respectable but "dated" high end pieces:Aragon 4004 amp Conrad Johnson PV-8 and a Son... 
Gershman's "Cameleon": Any Owners?? Help??
FOLLOW UP on this topic FROM SJ: Irregardless, of the operational history of any audio compamy, let us stay focused on the questions I ask. These questions were presented to find out if the Cameleons have been market-tested by "actual" owners and ... 
New Swifts vs. used Kestrel Hot Rods
Both speakers are approx 36 inches tall and reasonable size for bedroom installation. But the comparison might be more interesting if you were to consider Gershman "Cameleons" instead of the Kestrels. The "Cameleon" are 48 inches high but only hav... 
Has anyone seen the new Meadowlark Swift?
It is interesting to hear about this new speaker's performance value. I wonder if anyone has heard the Gershman "Cameleon" and compared them to the Swift???(though the "Cameleon's are $1799!!!) It would be, I think a shot in the arm(if not a kick ... 
Rectilinear 3's: Is it worth upgrading tweeters???
I want to thank every one for their informative posts about the Rectilinear 3's. It is always fun to hear about these old "classics" of the audio business. Regards, SJ 
Gallo Nucleus Reference
Follow-up: It is incredible how members describe the virtues of, and crave this speaker system. I wonder if Gallo realizes what they are losing in potential sales with a line of speakers (which have been virtually taken off the market)that are exc... 
How many here heard the "Wall of Sound" Dead 70's
I saw the Dead in October 1974 at Winterland Arena in San Francisco. The stage was dominated by scaffolds of speaker and tweeter boxes.It reminded me of the stage in the original King Kong film. At stage level, there was stacks of MacIntosh amps a...
