| Silverline Minuet "Supreme" I heard them over the weekend at RMAF as well and a pair followed me home! Even though I bought the preludes last year at the same show I've always wanted a pair of these. The build quality and the sound from such a small pair of speakers is simpl... | |
| Any Golden Ear Tech Triton Two owners? I owned a pair...for about a month. They were 'ok' but ultimately not my cup of tea. A little too laid back and not detailed enough for my taste. On paper they offer a lot for the price though and maybe in another room with different equipment mig... | |
| KEF Blade Well, now that I am back from Denver, I can share....but very little. I went in to the KEF Blade room Friday afternoon. It was packed so I only stayed a few minutes. (for those of you familiar with these type of demos, understand they are in a sma... | |
| KEF Blade I'll be checking them out tomorrow at RMAF. Very anxious to hear how they sound as I'm a big KEF fan. | |
| Proper amp for Dynaudio Focus 110, $2000 max I owned a tact integrated once that would drive anything and was dead quiet doing so. It is a true digital amp and I've heard it can't be clipped. Definitely an incredible amp in the used market if you can find one. Another amp to consider would b... | |
| Gallo 3.1s... how do they compare to Strata minis I've owned both and preferred the gallos in every area sonically although I think the mini stratas are aesthetically more appealing. Certainly a much wider soundstage for the gallos due to the tweeter used in the gallos. I recommend you audition a... | |
| Perfect Debute Albums 04-06-11: MontejayHi Jafant,Days of Future past was not their debut album.Regards,Actually....it was. The Pre-DOFP albums were NOT the band that is identified with the Moody Blues. That group (led by Denny Laine of Wings fame) was more of a blues ... | |
| Which speaker has the biggest sound stage? Sorry, I just read it as you wrote it:"The issue of the glue which holds the Mylar and wires together is NOT one that ANY customer should worry about." (emphasis added by me on 'any').My comment was concerning the absolute 'any customer' as I have... | |
| Which speaker has the biggest sound stage? I guess my friend wasted a LOT of time re-gluing the wires to the mylar of his MG-IIIA's over the past couple of months then. It certainly 'looked' like the wires had separated from the mylar. Funny thing about absolutes I guess... | |
| Perfect Debute Albums Foreigner- ForeignerMoody Blues- Days of Future Passed (they were NOT the same band with Denny Laine, pre Justin Hayward/John Lodge so this IS really their debut album)Heart- Dreamboat AnnieBoston- Boston (I believe this is the still the #1 debut ... | |
| Spica TC-50 and amp advice I've owned the TC-50s (and 60s and Angelus) on many occasions and found one of the best synergistic fits to be the venerable B&K ST 140. One zigs where the other zags and the result is better than either on its own. Really, any of the older B&... | |
| Self-powered speakers: any good? Meridian offers excellent powered speakers with superlative results. They are quite expensive however. | |
| Speakers that sound like Grado headphones? Actually, there are speakers that sound like headphones and give a similar sound. Try the older (vintage) Polk SDA Series speakers from the 80s. They acoustically subtract inter-aural crosstalk to give you a headphone like sound. Carver, with thei... | |
| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? The best would be my current pair of original Martin Logan CLS (with brand new panels as of this month). Limited sweetspot but once you are in it there is nothing, absolutely nothing (and I've owned 100s of pairs of high end speakers) that can tou... | |
| Best Audio Store Name? My favorite was 'Audition' in Birmingham, Alabama. (Actually, as their commercial used to advertise, 'On the Curve in Homewood', which was a suburb). Use to go there back in the late 80s. They always had cool specials and interesting demos and par... |
