| Why so little discussion about Snell ? Great that this thread has been re-discovered. I've had my E-III's since 87 or so. Bought them used and replaced the foam surrounds about 5 years ago. I don't think I ever want to get rid of them even though they are in an alternate system. I have... | |
| Know of anyone in NJ that can repair Musetex Bidat Thank you. I'll check it out. | |
| Audio Research pre-amps? I have the SP-16 with Red Dragon M-500 Class D amps and I find the sound to be quite neutral. Certainly not bright. The speakers are Vandersteen 3A Sigs. Certain tubes (12AX7) in that preamp can really change it's presentation. The Gold Pin JJ's a... | |
| Hampton Hawes....where to start? Try "Spanish Steps", "Green Leaves of Summer" and there are 2 "Live" recordings that were released from the Montmartre in Copenhagen on Arista Freedom. "A Little Copenhagen Night Music" "Live At Montmartre". Also "Here And Now" and "Four"are good.... | |
| New Magnepan 3.7 i ? As for the sound of the speakers, I heard them this past week in New Jersey at Audio Connection, courtesy of John Rutan. If you like Maggie's, you're going to love these speakers. They have all of the Maggie qualities that set them apart from othe... | |
| Vandy or Maggy? Every speaker has it's pro's and con's and you have to decide what you can live with. I have Vandy 3A Sigs in one system and Maggie 1.6's(with a Vandy sub)in another and they both do wonderful things in different ways. They certainly move air and ... | |
| Class D and Power Cables I own a pair of Red Dragon M-500 Class D amps. The sound of the amps was greatly improved all across the board when I started using the Lessloss DFPC power cords. It was a night and day change for the better (for me and my tastes) I also have a Au... | |
| To Vandersteen or not to Vandersteen I have the 3ASigs and I love the way they sound. The thing with Vandersteens is that you have to really take the time to set them up properly to get all of what they have to offer and they have a lot. It took much trial and error but the pay off i... | |
| Thanks to John and his crew at Audio Connections The Musical Surroundings Seminar was great at Audio Connection today. I couldn't stay long but had a great time while there. John and his crew are a rare breed indeed. Ctsooner, next time you're in, hopefully you can meet some of the "regulars" th... | |
| Thanks to John and his crew at Audio Connections Agreed! Audio Connection in Verona N.J with John, Nick, Greg and crew are first class all the way. The Vandersteen Seminar was great fun and a great hang for audiophiles/ music lovers. It's ALWAYS a great place to hang and talk audio, with great g... | |
| Best vintage Tannoy for rock? Carla is great! Check out "Looking For America" "The Lost Chords". "Appearing Nightly" and "The Lost Chords Find Paolo Fresu". One of the band members is an Audiophile. | |
| Best vintage Tannoy for rock? Islandmandan, I like the Dangerfield analogy! I also have heard Tannoy Edinburgh which were very nice. Very musical and enjoyable to listen to. I think the older models like the ones Dr Loesch recommended had a little something extra however. Espe... | |
| Best vintage Tannoy for rock? Islandmandan, I was lucky enough to spend to a little time with Arthur Loesch before he passed away and heard his designs at his house, Tempo Electric with Joe and at another friends house who had some modded Tannoys and each was among the best sy... | |
| What speakers should I consider around $5000? Vandersteen Treo's and Ayre Integrated. You won't be sorry.Save $1000 and get the Vandersteen 3A Sigs although the WAF may be compromised. Bass is a littler fuller with them but the Treo's are definitely more stylish.I own the 3A Sigs and they are... | |
| Vandersteen Treo's I've heard the Vandersteen Treo's with the Ayre Integrated and it was wonderful. Ayre and Vandersteen are an ideal match IMHO. I have Vandersteen 3A Sigs and am hoping to mate them with Ayre electronics. I heard the Vandy/Ayre combo in NJ @ Audio ... |
