| anyone heard zu definition speakers? Matrix, the woofers on the Definitions are only from 40 Hz down as I recall. The Lowthers are only good down to about 64 Hz. You do need a subwoofer with them also. As you suggest, the Beauhorns are not for big group sound such as swing big bands,... | |
| anyone heard zu definition speakers? Matrix, I think it is easy to beat the Avantgarde Duos or in reality the Wilson Grand Slams. Have you heard the Definitions compared with the Beauhorns or other Lowther based speakers? | |
| Best digital cable to audition? I never had a Nordost digital, but both the Stealth and CT are better than the Siltech Golden Ridge and I am told the Golden Eagle. | |
| Best digital cable to audition? In my opinion the Stealth Varidigit Sextet and the Cerious Technologies digital cable are the best presently available. The CT is substantially cheaper. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Hopefully soon a 2006 Porsche Cayman. | |
| anyone heard zu definition speakers? Schorly, all that I can really suggest is that you get a listen to them. Word are a poor excuse for sounds. One of the reasons for pursuing efficient speakers is that then you can use single ended triodes and typically the less powerful tubes. I, ... | |
| anyone heard zu definition speakers? Schorly, the Wilsons sound like a box and the Definitions do not. With the Definitions you would only be using about 1 watt of your 90 and that would be on peaks. | |
| anyone heard zu definition speakers? Cobra (Phil) my history with speakers is longer than years given that I have been at it for 45 years. I have had many horn speaker and presently have the Acapella LaCampanellas which are horn down to 600 Hz. Previously I had the Beauhorn Virtuoso.... | |
| From Avantgarde to a conventional speaker? I went from Trios to the Beauhorn Virtuosos and never looked back. They are more seamless and coherent and much faster. You will probably want subwoofers, however. But I used mine up to 60 Hz which is more than an octave lower than the Trio woofer... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Jazzdude, I don't think we know the real story in this case. I think, however, that we cannot say much about the buyer except that he did not get what he expected. I certainly never saw wiring such as shown in the pictures within my Syrah. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Whoopadeedoo, before casting aspersions, see what I said there. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I just noticed this on AA. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1128830279&read&3&4& | |
| Are Horn Speakers good or bad or simply a complete joke? Coouugar, are you speaking of the LaCampanellas? If so, can you tell me more? Directly if you wish.Darkmoebius and Skushino, I certainly agree about the benefits of horns, but I have yet to hear Edgarhorns that I would buy. I find them not true to... | |
| Isolation Devices, Something to put on top of unit As I said, put something heavy on top, not iron. | |
| Isolation Devices, Something to put on top of unit I have had much better luck with what is under the unit than what is on top. I have tried many shelves and platforms, with the Neuance being the best buy and the Acapella being best. Then I heard the expensive Halcyonic active unit. But that is an... |
