| Quad Active Speakers 11l and 12l history/future Thanks for the post. I have been thinking that the 12L actives would be ideal to hook up to my pre/pro's second zone output. I have been looking at active speakers because I wouldn't have to have a separate amp. The 12L's seem ideal: The price is ... | |
| Jeffs Sound Values in CA. PH not working/closed? Sad news indeed. They were my favorite local dealer. I was always treated well there. I wish Jeff and crew all the best. | |
| Transrotor Fat Bob S vs. VPI Aries 3 They are 2 very different sounding rigs. I extensively auditioned the Fat Bob S and owned an Aries 2 for 3 years before getting a great deal on a Kuzma Stabi Reference TT. The Fat Bob is on the neutral side and the VPI is on the warm side. The Ari... | |
| Anybody fan or Meridian 3 ch stereo? I have read on a Meridian board that the 568 is very close to the 861 in audio quality. Here is a link to the board: http://www.meridianunplugged.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi.FWIW, I wholeheartedly endorse the Meridian 568 pre/pro. I have a 568.2mm ... | |
| night stand / audio component also Ethan Allen makes fine quality furniture that might work for you. Here is one that is made of maple and "other hardwoods" that is 28 inches tall (they have other models that may be of interest if 28 inches is too tall): http://www.ethanallen.com/e... | |
| What's your speaker IQ, and the best speaker? Merlin VSM-MXe's. Bobby's newest iteration of this magnificent speaker model. I just got these. Hands down, the best speakers that I have owned. The sound is very holographic and dynamic, yet quite natural, which creates a startling real soundscap... | |
| Hagerman "Blue Cornet" I used a blue Cornet for a while with a Cary SLI-80. It was my first separate phono stage. The Cornet was a vast improvement over a NAD phono stage that I was using. It was also much better than the phono stage that was built into my previous inte... | |
| How to ship my speakers out of state I recommend BAX Global if you can ship from a business. Their rates are very reasonable and they have been careful with my packages. Yellow Freight, which is another reasonably priced freight carrier, will pick up at a residence, and also allows y... | |
| Dilemma of Warped LPs - is seller liable? "I purchased a tull record for $65.00 from a large seller on ebay that was sealed. He even puts in his ads that because the record was sealed he gives no warranty and you can't return it."Yes, I think I have dealt with that seller, too ... once. I... | |
| Review: VPI Industries VPI Aries 2 Extended Turntable Nice review! I have the regular sized Aries 2. Your description about the wide, deep soundstage is right on. And, like my wife, nice bottom end and not too bad up top, either!I see you purchased the Cortese and the Aries 2 after once writing "I am... | |
| Zoethecus is out of business ? A dealer who sold their products told me a couple of weeks ago that Zoethecus is indeed no longer in business. | |
| Review: Merlin Music Systems VSM - MX Speaker Nice! I just picked up a pair of Millenniums and am enjoying them a lot. They are a tad on the bright side, compared to my Quad ESL-988s, and they do not quite match the bass pitch/timbre of the Quads (within the Quad's limitations). The Merlins d... | |
| listening to music in the car My car audio system consists of a McIntosh head unit, Focal Utopia speakers (the car audio equivalent to JM Labs Utopia line), and an ARC Audio amp (which I chose for its relatively warm and full bodied sound). While I enjoy it, it does not sound ... | |
| Buzz/Hum from Cary SLI-80 I used to own an SLI-80 and it was silent. Is there a cable tv coaxial cable nearby causing the hum? | |
| Warm speakers? If warm means "non-fatiguing" and not forward sounding, you might want to consider a pair of Quad ESLs. I have a 15 by 13 room. I just got a Portal Panache. It is a very nice match with my Quads. The midrange combination of the Panache and Quads i... |
