| Sjofen The Clue speakers If it had been a major advertiser (like Magnepan or Thiel) they (stereophile) would have worked with them. Smaller companies are discarded. The way of the world; especially the audio world. jmho | |
| What speakers for 10k? Klipschorns. | |
| Replacement for Maggie's? Emerald Physics CS2P's or any of the used CS3s, CS2.3s etc. Same 'type' sound as Maggies (Musical, open, etc) but with MUCH better bass and dynamics. | |
| Need a monitor while floorstanders in storage An even better speaker than the Minuets (which I have owned think are great) are the Aperion Verus Grand monitors. After looking and listening to them I'd swear they cost $2k+ but they sell for about $700 new so you should be able to pick up a new... | |
| Emerald Physics Loudspeakers I have a pair of the 2.3s and they are all around the best speakers I've ever owned (and I've owned literally over 100 pair of high end speakers). They image with the best and have an open, airy sound about them that make it difficult to even try ... | |
| Best bookshelf speakers??? I've owned the Silverline Minuets and really liked them. But I recently found another sub $1000 monitor I like even more and I would stack it up against any bookshelf speaker under $1500. It is the Aperion Grand Verus Bookshelves and they cost abo... | |
| NOLA KO Heard them at RMAF and thought they had a very open, musical, and non-fatiguing sound. Actually, one of the best speakers I listened to there (at sane prices). Best of luck in your audio pursuits. | |
| Ohm Walsh 2000s vs Vandersteen 2Ces Actually, Vandy's are more a stepped baffle, but not an open baffle and provide both time and phase coherency. I've owned both speakers (although different versions) and both have their strengths (and weaknesses). In short, the Ohms have a larger,... | |
| Emerald Physics 2.3 Crossover Questions Thanks for the input. Perhaps another (easier method) might be using the DBX PX DriveRack which has auto EQ and an outboard microphone? Although the unit description states it is designed for 'powered' speakers. Not sure if that makes a difference... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? He has them powered by one of the new Peachtree 220 ICE amps (220 wpc into 8 ohms, double into 4). I read the review on 6 moons as well and it is apparent he has preferences for one type of speaker but not this type of omni-speaker. I know some pe... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I've recently heard a speaker that 'out-walshes' the Ohm Walsh. I've owned the Walsh 2s, 4s, and 5's (older and newer series). I have a speaker fanatic friend who picked up a pair of Artistic Audio Mobius speakers which use two spherical dome midr... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Sounds like you are a Tekton owner, actually.... | |
| Anything better than 1.7 Maggies Emerald physics CS3 smoke the Maggie's and I love the Maggie's! | |
| Atlantic Technology AT-1 ..... any opinions ? Hi, I owned a pair for a few months (think 'dog years' for me and a pair of speakers) and then went on to something else. That's not to say I didn't like them though, quite the opposite. They are excellent performers. Very articulate, dynamic and ... | |
| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? The best sounding speakers I heard at RMAF were the Acapella High Violoncello II speakers, which were $83k if I recall correctly. The best reasonably priced speakers were the Emerald Physics CS3 at $80k less. I ended up coming home with a pair of ... |
