| Anybody hear the Tonian Labs Montior Tickfight,Check out the new review on 6moons.com of the TL-R1. The reviewer finally gets it right in middle of article by adjusting output level. Tonian set mine specifically for the Harbeth C7-2s and I haven't felt the need to play with the other... | |
| Sonus Faber Concerto & Concertino I have heard the Cremonas at a local dealer and they sound beautifully musical. They don't have any Concertos or Concertinas but I sure do see a lot of these speakers for sale on the site here. | |
| Calling all MC275 MK IV owners.............. Don't worry about tube on tube getting fuzzy or hazy. I've been running like that for years and years and with the right equipment, get magnificent music making. Just last night I was listening to a Gene Ammons CD which sounded open, clear, and as... | |
| Gallo Reference 3 vs. Spendor S8 vs. Harbeth Super You'll need a good sized room for the Harbeth; it's a big speaker. I've heard the Gallo at a dealer and thought it rather bland and boring but it may have been the other equipment in chain. I think the HL5 is in the same family as the Compact 7 (w... | |
| Opera Speakers - Opinions? Thanks, guys. I've always heard that the Silverlines were on the musical as opposed to analytical side of things, which is where I like it. I think I've just become enamored of the Opera looks. Yohjo - I see you use Rogue amps for power. Have you ... | |
| Anybody hear the Tonian Labs Montior Bluemike,I'm pretty well set with the Harbeths now. If I'm ever in the market for new speakers again I'll definitely check out his other offerings. | |
| Do you get Ringing in the Ears from your hi-fi? Buy a bunch of those soft, foamy earplugs and learn to get them into the cannals of your ears. Wear every night when you've got them deep seated. If not in properly they don't do much good. You know when they are in as you can feel them expanding ... | |
| Opera Speakers - Opinions? Bombay...I fell the exact same way about his articles. Some of the most enjoyable in the mag, along with Art Dudley and the John Marks. You know, you get wined and dined a bit and you're sure to fall in love with the gift giver's products. And I s... | |
| what subs for merlin vsm-mx Lanzahome,Punctuation would help quite a bit. Kinda got a headache reading your response.I had TSM-MXs for a while and they really need a warm, musical tube amp. Joule Electra would work nice but, damn, are they expensive. I bet Quicksilver V4s wo... | |
| Anybody hear the Tonian Labs Montior Model TL-R1. I've now used them with three different speakers (Harbeths, Spendors, and Pinnacles) and they simply add a delightful extension of high frequency air and harmonics. Absolutely no glare, etch, harshness, etc. They do what the man from ... | |
| Opera Speakers - Opinions? How would you describe the "house sound" of Silverline? It seems the Opera sound is warm and musical, maybe comforting and relaxing. Which is, of course, often great for late night listening but not always the best for when you want to "kick 'em o... | |
| Which musician retired too soon? I don't think Alvin did the Witch Doctor song; that (I'm pretty sure) was done by some DJ kinda like the Disco Duck song in 1976. Now there's a guy who stopped too soon.I have an old Denon CD player with 12% pitch control. Damn if I didn't hear go... | |
| Which musician retired too soon? Good old Alvin. One hit record and then not much work after that. Kinda like Barney Rubble...great actor but no good scripts since his show was cancelled. | |
| Which musician retired too soon? Bruce Lee! Oops, sorry...only music.Anybody else think Stevie Ray was doing Robin Trower who was doing Hendrix? (And I don't mean in a sexual way.) |
