| Salk Speakers - Opinions & Advice? Dominion78 - The Songtowers are what I am interested in. What exactly about the treble performance didn't you like? Was it lean, bright, recessed, dull?Also, what did you think of the Fritz and Grant Fidelity designs (if you did hear them)? | |
| Salk Speakers - Opinions & Advice? Often a glare in the upper mid/lower treble area is a mismatch between amp and speaker crossover. Also, tube amps have to be carefully matched to speakers to avoid impedance and phase angle problems. And I say this as a 25 year owner of tubes amps... | |

| proac D1 or harbeth p3esr All the Harbeths I've heard (and I've owned the C7-2s) are a bit thick and lacking the "jump" factor I need to get me involved. Art Blakey and Buddy Rich can actually sound a bit boring through these speakers. And that includes the P3ESR.However, ... | |
| Salk Speakers - Opinions & Advice? Did some reading at AudioCircle. Seems I'll need that audition at Salk's headquarters, which should be quite enjoyable. | |
| Dynaudio Excite X16 vs. Dynaudio Focus 140 I owned both the Focus 110s and 140s. Very pretty speakers both but I liked the 110s the best. With my equipment they were more open and naturally detailed than the 140s which sounded very natural but a little thick and opaque. I was bored a bit b... | |
| Moby concert and ear damage? Emailists - If half the foam plug is sticking out of your ear, it's not in as it should be. It took me 3 months of practice but I get even the longest foam plug all the way in, it disappears. I can get them in so deep I can't hear my wife talking ... | |
| Moby concert and ear damage? If the ear is resisting sounds, it will sustain permanent damage much quicker than a relaxed ear. When we tense up and resist sounds, that is like tensing when falling - makes for a greater impact. At least, this is what my audiologist told me. I ... | |
| How to Play iTunes Through My HiFi Thanks for the great advise, guys. I'll check into the Bel Canto USB Link as I'm happy with the sound of the DAC 2. I have to buy another ext. hard drive so I'll discuss the Airport Express with the Apple Store.Any one have a suggestion for a DAC ... | |
| Would Epos speakers take full advantage my amps? Jaybo is right about the metal dome tweeters - they are not in-and-of-themselves bright or etched sounding. Just give a listen to the Harbeth C7 which is a little to laid back and soft for my tastes. I've heard two Epos with metal dome tweeters an... | |
| Tonian TL-D1 verse Zu Druid Mk4 I also heard the Zus just one time and found them a little glarey and etched - upper midrange/lower treble hardness. I also, as Nonoise said, found them to have a metalic flavor, kind of like the old Acoustats which had a (non-fatiguing) plastic q... | |
| Tonian Labs TL-D1 My joyousness with the ProAc 2.5s lasted 5-6 years. Then I started getting itchy again. | |
| Tyler Decade D4M Thanks for the info. I did talk to Guy at length and he actually described the speakers as Jp1208 did. | |
| Loud and Live Fleetwood Mac - "The Boston Tea Party Live - Vol 1"Recorded early January, 1970, and was the "guy" version band with Peter Green. Excellent live sound, a recording that captures very well the sense of being at the concert. | |
| Ringo Starr or Charlie Watts??? Mitch actually played harmonics and melody with his kit, at least for my ear. Hey! Someone in this thread said that Buddy Rich could not read music. Is that true? |
