| Coda 16 or Pass Labs x350.8 with Magnepan 20.7 salc, Take a look at my Stereo Times review on the #16, it's in the archives now, for the details concerning its sonic perspective. | |
| Coda 16 or Pass Labs x350.8 with Magnepan 20.7 Hey salc, I have reviewed and owned all the amps & 20.7s that you are inquiring about. There is no doubt in my mind, based on my personal taste, that the Coda #16 is my favorite with the Maggies. Remember, your 20.7s love current and the #16 ... | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List Nope. I have fun and share information and accept I don’t have to perfect grammar when posting on a thread. By the way I have never "portrayed myself" as a professional writer/reviewer, but someone who writes professional reviews for fun and enjoy... | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List Hey thecarpathian, Wow, your last post confirms that you take all of this way to seriously! Have fun cogitating on matters that are totally irrelevant for having fun. Chill brother and enjoy your weekend. | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List Hello gentleman, I’m really not surprised at the acrimonious tone and nit-picking comments, like my spelling error regarding artesian, from some posters on this thread. They represent a small percentage of GON members. I much more often get posit... | |
| Rosso Fiorentino Arno 40 speakers Great speakers/Beautiful music I have received numerous inquires regarding information on the Arno 40s proprietary layered cabinet design. I know that aluminum, wood, some type of polymer, and soft material gaskets are used in the construction, which leads to a total non-resona... | |
| Rosso Fiorentino Arno 40 speakers Great speakers/Beautiful music Hey kclone, Your correct regarding the musical samples I used in the review. Here's a short list of pop/rock/funk albums used in the reviewing process: Usher -James Brown - George Clinton and the Mothership Connection - Allman Brothers - Cream- S... | |
| Rosso Fiorentino Arno 40 speakers Great speakers/Beautiful music First, dxbwineguy something has come up regarding the review on the Qualio speakers. It's temporarily on hiatus for now. Just had another guest listener come over to listen to the RF Arno 40s and he used the term "swept away by the beauty of the ... | |
| Rosso Fiorentino Arno 40 speakers Great speakers/Beautiful music Hey dayglow, The list of speakers on your audition list are some very fine designs. For my taste, and I have heard three of them, I still believe you would be more smitten with the 40s, if your taste is very similar to mine. Good luck at figuring... | |
| Rosso Fiorentino Arno 40 speakers Great speakers/Beautiful music Hey helomech, Of course you are entitled to your opinion, but it would nice if it was based on facts or actual experience. The 40s are not just an MDF composed enclosure, put a complex multi-material layered design that leads to very low levels o... | |
| Rosso Fiorentino Arno 40 speakers Great speakers/Beautiful music Hey dayglow, I have never heard the Certaldo 2 speaker. My hunch is for another 5K you get another level of refinement/polish to the RF house sound. If you like one of their less expensive speakers, you just get more as you move up the line. Reme... | |
| Stereo Times Review on the SPL s900 amplifier Hey ddafoe, Without copping out on your question, both the 5.5 and s900 are superlative amplifiers. The 5.5 has a very neutral presentation overall with beautiful timbres/tonality The s900 also has great pristine colors with a smidgen of over all... | |
| Qualio IQ owners, still happy? Hey Wig, Don't know if the review pair were broken in or not. However, have scores of hours on them now and really have not noticed a significant difference in their performance. So, either they had hours on them already or it does not take very ... | |
| Qualio IQ owners, still happy? Finally got my review pair in last week. So far regarding build quality, and more importantly performance, this is a very musical speaker that does everything right with no major flaws at all. I also think they are very reasonable priced for what ... | |
| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit Hey jimbones, The SPL Elector preamplifier is what you might really be what you are looking for. Based on price, quality of manufacturing, and most important performance. Take a look at my Stereo Times review on it for lots of information. T... |
