| ProAC 2.5 users please share experience on amp I did not comment on the tweeters, just two particular models which I had in my house for audition - Tablette Sig. and 1SC. Both had an inner hardness, glare, that I could not ameliorate with positioning, different amp, etc. The Tablettes drove my... | |
| VTL vs Jolida You're looking at some pretty power hungry speakers there. Also, Jolida (and I've heard 4-5 of their products) are rather 'classic tube' sounding - kinda soft and difuse. By difuse I mean not a lot of resolution and dynamics which may be a good th... | |
| Speakers, confusion, any ideas? If you get those Theils or Paragdigms your ears may not survive. | |
| ProAC 2.5 users please share experience on amp Both the 1SC and Tabs are rather hard and glarey sounding and I could not spend 10 minutes with them. Not so the 2.5s which are musical and don't even sound like from the same family or even city. Another great ProAc that made music and not etch i... | |
| how did you find "the gon" I often frequented a fine audio store in Ann Arbor, Michigan, called Accutronics. Two floors of stereo equipment with four rooms in the basement handling used high end stuff. The owner, Arnie, specialized in calling people who advertised in the ol... | |
| Hi Fi burnout. I have an all tube rig and for years was afraid to use it as a music system because of tube degradation, burn out, etc. Then about 4-5 years ago I realized I'm wasting life time and started just popping it on for use anytime I want. I've replaced ... | |
| Merlin TSM-MXs...First Impressions Now I remember. They are hybrids: tube input, S/S output. Thought they were out of business? | |
| Merlin TSM-MXs...First Impressions Umm...I think Anthem was the lower priced tube line of Sonic Frontiers? | |
| It's a Soul Thang One Van Hunt what? | |
| It's a Soul Thang "The Horse" by Cliff Nobles (I would never have remembered that name!) is an instrumental and I wonder if The Preparations was the same. I gotta do an Amazon search for that song! Also want "Lookin' For A Fox" and "Bugaloo Down Broadway". | |
| Merlin TSM-MXs...First Impressions Prankxxxster,I received my new TSM-MXs (piano black) about 5 weeks ago and am just now getting a fix on them as they are quite neutral and revealing. They can sound lean and uninvolving without the right amplification and cables; they're certainly... | |
| Cary SLI-80 vs Cary 300SEI The "I" at the end of model numbers means "integrated" in Cary products. | |
| It's a Soul Thang Damn, 4yanx, you're right! The Fantastic Johnny C! Am I right about him also doing "The Horse"? If not, who was it?? | |
| It's a Soul Thang Say, Fmpnd, who did "Bugaloo Down Broadway"? I can remember my buddies and I driving 2 miles an hour down Dudley Street in Dearborn Michigan about 1968 with three of us walking outside the car doin' the bugaloo and shouting out, "Bugaloo down Dudl... | |
| It's a Soul Thang "There Is" by Delphonics - what a great driving song. Just try doin' the speed limit with that coming at cha from the dashboard! Don't forgot "Funky Broadway" by wicked Wilson Pickett (and anything else he did in the 60s - awww...pick it, Wilson!)... |
