| Amazing Solo Piano Recordings Bwhite, about a year ago I was introduced to this CD by Roy Johnson of Green Mountain Audio. I had gone to the factory for an audition of his C3s and had taken what I thought was the finest piano recording I'd ever heard. We played mine, and it so... | |
| Anyone experienced JBL's K2 S9800? Jond,Thanks for the follow-up on the review. That makes 3 separate reviews in three separate publications by the same reviewer on the same speaker. It would have been nice to have had someone else's perspective in a formal review.Have you ever had... | |
| Anyone experienced JBL's K2 S9800? Dan,Thanks for the link to the review in Ultra Audio. I had actually seen that review before arranging to go listen to the K2s. I wonder if that is the same review that Jond was referring to? I believe the Ultra review and the Hi Fi Choice review ... | |
| Anyone experienced JBL's K2 S9800? Thank you, gentlemen, for your responses.Dan, looks like you've cornered the market on K2s. Perhaps with 4 K2s your hearing has shut down to the point that the S800 monoblocks are actually sounding good (just kidding!!!). I am looking to use the K... | |
| What Speakers Do Audio Insiders Own? Frank Sinatra, Julie Andrews, Leonard Bernstein, and Barbra Streisand all own or owned (Bernstein is deceased) Beveridge 2SWs in one form or another, FWIW. | |
| Dali, Amphion, Zu Well Mechans, I'm a real verifiable person whose been in this audio game for over 30 years, and I've never heard a more transparent or musical loudspeaker than the Zu Druid at anywhere close to it's price. I consider the Zu to be a steal. Nonethel... | |
| Daedalus DA-1 Well, Steinway 57, I've never auditioned any model of the Harbeths, but have read many positive as well as a few negative remarks about their speakers. The Daedalus is sort of a "new kid" on the block, but if you know the sound of the real thing (... | |
| Harbeth SHL5 or M40 It is my understanding that Harbeth is about to release a home version of the M40. A friend of mine heard the prototype at CES and thought it was his favorite speaker. He said that it has been designed to work in a typical home listening environme... | |
| Are Zu Druids really good HE speakers? Nakolawala, I just returned from CES where I spent more time in the Zu room than anywhere else at the show. The Zu Druid was one of may favorite speakers at the show. IMHO, at its selling price, it has no competition. Of the four criteria you ment... | |
| A few impressions from the CES/THE Shows Jimlevitt, are you an Orion owner? I do have some experience with the Orion in the early version, but would very much like to experience the latest version. Since I don't share Siegfried's feelings regarding interconnect cables, speaker wires and ... | |
| A few impressions from the CES/THE Shows Ok Art, now we're on the same page. Yes, the large wooden extensions were present and "on" as it were, but in my query regarding them, Jacob expressed that they weren't having the effect in his CES room that he had experienced in other rooms. To w... | |
| A few impressions from the CES/THE Shows Art, WRT the Rethms, what subwoofer? I was in the Rethm room on two separate occasions, and there was no subwoofer on either. To be sure, a subwoofer would have been a necessity in order to achieve anything resembling neutral tonality. I've never ... | |
| ELP laser turntable - any comments? Norm, I can appreciate the space problem, but don't put too much energy into the need for isolation support for the ELP. One of the principal advantages of the Laser table over a standard table is that it is virtually immune to feedback. I purchas... | |
| ELP laser turntable - any comments? TBG, As old as this thread is, it's nice to know that someone saw my post. It's also nice to know that someone has experienced a good demonstration of the ELP. All too often, the ELP has not been demonstrated to its best advantage.If a person can ... |
