| Gemme Audio Tanto Owners - User Manual? Hi All. I'm just writing to update this thread and thank david_ten who recently shot me a soft copy of the user guide for the Tanto v2. I haven’t had much time yet to go through the manual, but it is more than a few pages and will be great as a ... | |
| Bass trapping - corners or walls? I hear you, @auxinput. Thanks very much for sharing your impressions. If you have a chance, I would be curious to know how many traps you used and for how large an area. Interesting to hear that you feel the Owens panels are more effective than... | |
| Bass trapping - corners or walls? @auxinput,I am considering GIK soffit traps to help me with a bass null, and I would be grateful if you could expand upon the comment you made above:The thick GIK soffit traps really don't do much here. It would be great to hear your experience... | |
| Gemme Audio Tanto Owners - User Manual? Also....I did finally hear from JP – unfortunately he does not have any manuals for the Tantos and no info on where I may get a copy. So I’ll keep open the hunt. | |
| Gemme Audio Tanto Owners - User Manual? @trelja , Thank you so much for the kind and informative response! Very interesting hearing your experiences with JP and Robert Gaboury. My email exchange with Mr. Gaboury showed him to be generous with his time and supportive of my interest i... | |
| A New Coltrane Recording! Just writing to thank you for this post! I am also very excited to hear the "new" album although it looks like we may need to wait a bit until it comes out. Hard to believe the tape has been under wraps for so long. Great article as well. | |
| Gemme Audio Tanto Owners - User Manual? Trelja, I do like the Tantos, thanks for asking. Although I don’t have a ton of experience with true hifi speakers, I like the Tantos’ overall timbre, clear sound, largish sweet spot, soundstage, and ability to go down low. (Based on all the pos... | |
| Don Sachs 2 vs. deHavilland Ultraverve 3 gotog, Thanks for your comments! Sounds like you have a great taste in music ;-] . It seems strange to me that there is no way for the user to know where he is on the volume ladder of the UV – but I’m sure there is some reason for that design ch... | |
| Gemme Audio Tanto Owners - User Manual? trelja, that is a great idea! I emailed Jean Pierre Boudreau and he got back to me saying he would look for a manual. I'll report back when I hear from him one way or the other. Thanks! | |
| Gemme Audio Tanto Owners - User Manual? yakbob and david_ten, Thanks for the comments. It’s funny that you both used very little toe in. Mine are toed in quite a bit! I found it helpful in my situation because I need to place the speakers along the long wall in a room that is somewh... | |
| Don Sachs 2 vs. deHavilland Ultraverve 3 Gotog, I get your comments now regarding the deHavilland’s wiring. Apologies as I think my question came from ignorance. Your post helped me to understand so thank you for that! BTW, do you know if the deHavilland has anything that can help th... | |
| Don Sachs 2 vs. deHavilland Ultraverve 3 4hannons, Thanks for trying to place these on a spectrum and giving greater context by including other preamps. I agree that we can’t represent such complex sounds by a number, but in the context of a lot of other details (like those you gave), ... | |
| Gemme Audio Tanto Owners - User Manual? yakbob, Thanks very much for the response! My reasons for looking for a manual do include helpful hints on speaker positioning that may be specific to the Tantos (or Gemme line family). If you happen to remember anything of note, please let me k... | |
| Don Sachs 2 vs. deHavilland Ultraverve 3 gotog, Thank you very much for your response. I appreciate the comments.I also like a black background with very low noise so it is nice to hear the deHavilland can provide that.Regarding point to point wiring, is the Sachs not point to point? ... | |
| Don Sachs 2 vs. deHavilland Ultraverve 3 4hannons, THANK YOU very much for all the details! It is definitely helpful.I must admit I'm intrigued by your description of the Sachs. Like you I'm big on dynamics and "punch". OTOH, I do want some real tube sweetness and holigraphics, etc. ... |
