| BEST LOW VOLUME FULL RANGE SPEAKERS? Ah, now here in Krellm7's recommendation I have FINALLY found a suggested speaker I will agree with. Electrostatics! That being said, most electrostatics do not meet the 20 Hz bass/no subwoofer requirement, and they certainly do not meet the WAF r... | |
| looking for best speakers to match with small 25w Philjolet, I'd gladly tip my hat to you if I gave them a listen and found myself in agreement with your perspective. They would certainly win my recommendation without hesitation. For now, I'll just give you the benefit of the doubt...Though my ex... | |
| BEST LOW VOLUME FULL RANGE SPEAKERS? Mitch, a GOOD graphic equalizer would probably serve an audiophile well.The only trouble is that I've tried a few when they were more in vogue, and the results were always less than good. They simply took many good things away from the music (dyna... | |
| BEST LOW VOLUME FULL RANGE SPEAKERS? Thank you, Glide3 and Jacytoy. I am more than a little curious about the DNM equipment. They offer a lot of interesting ideas in terms of their approach. Can you please share with me a bit of your insight as to the sonics of these components, Glid... | |
| looking for best speakers to match with small 25w I have to disagree with most of what has been suggested. But, to be fair, it's not so easy to meet the requirements put forth by Rapogee. Most of these speakers are quite sensitive, yes. And, some are even tight in the lower end. But, he also stat... | |
| BEST LOW VOLUME FULL RANGE SPEAKERS? I'm going to fourth, fifth, sixth, or whatever Nrchy and Duke are pointing out. Lower volumes, without some sort of equalization will not get you where you are trying to go. The answer lies not only in your speakers, but what comes ahead of them. ... | |
| Tyler Accoustics....a true pleasure to deal with.. Thank you for sharing this with us, Chadnliz! I agree with you very much.About the only thing I can add is that I think it is a reflection of the passion that this type of owner/company puts forth. I find that it is unmatched in a brick and mortar... | |
| CAPACITORS, OIL reliability VS. other CAP material I was holding off posting to this thread, as my oil capacitor experience is not audio related. When the original pump on my home's well, on a 220/240V line, was in its dying days, it kept blowing the motor capacitor, which was an oil cap. If the o... | |
| Break in period for tube amp. How long? Well, the Jadis was actually bought in 1999. But, I would say the sound peaked in the 3 - 4 month area. After that, I didn't perceive things improving.Interestingly enough, I retubed the amplifier early this year, when I sold it, and it leapt forw... | |
| Break in period for tube amp. How long? Thank you for your kind words, Jjwa. I just needed to share my experience with you, as it truly is a feeling of absolute desparation. As you already had a pair of these, you should have a ballpark idea on how they will sound. Whether or not the fi... | |
| Anyone using attenuators with mac mc275? I also have the Endler attenuators, and can attest to what Downunder says. They do not distort, regardless of volume level. | |
| Break in period for tube amp. How long? It's funny, but when I bought my first Jadis, I experienced EXACTLY the same thing you are going through. Awful, and I do mean awful. Congested, constricted, constipated, absolutely no extension in the bass or treble, and a harsh, irritable midran... | |
| Don't Think I'll Buy This... Nice thread, Tom!My favorite ads are, "Component XYZ, 'nuff said!" No, I beg to differ. Please say something more than that.I will caution that the assertion that one who is sloppy with the writing of their ad will be suspect in the care of the ge... | |
| Hales Design Group speakers....how good were they? The final incarnation of Hales was Jason Scott Distributing, who also represented, among others, Electrocompaniet. I knew the owner fairly well, and when he first told me that he owned Hales, in a most nonchalant way, I thought he was actually BSi... | |
| Yet another "battle of the formats" After six long years of the SACD/DVD-A war, audiophiles look with weary eyes towards the next contest.The result of the trench fighting has been the ascendance of neither, a long period of most waiting on embracing the victor and holding on to CD ... |
