| Jazz for aficionados I listened to The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery again last night. Been a while. I don't know how I hadn't noticed it before, but does anybody know why Wes and the pianist flip sides on 2 of the tracks? The rest of the album, the pia... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jim5559 Ha. I'll just stick to the music, I guess. | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? I'm not familiar with Charney, either. Their website (assuming charneyaudio.com is correct) appears to be dead. | |
| Jazz for aficionados That's the one, @acman3. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Roon suggested something yesterday that I enjoyed. Carla Bley's Life Goes On album. I'm probably very late to that party, but passing it along, just in case. | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! I haven't waxed mine, yet, so I can't speak to that problem. All I can suggest is as much air circulation as you can arrange, and open windows (weather permitting). All those VOCs gotta have somewhere to go besides up your nose. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? At the moment: Andrew Bird / Echolocations: River | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? I can't speak to the options in your list, except to say: In a room that size, you're probably talking about Cornwalls rather than Fortes. I have serious doubts about the WAF on anything I've seen from Tekton. Whatever their auditory strength... | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! I think I’m going to stay with what I’ve got, for now. I am awfully curious about how these sound with, say, tube amps, but I’m not finding anything out there that meets all my criteria, so I think I’ll just plow that money into the house fund. (A... | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! Thanks for all the input, everybody. I truly appreciate it. Lots to think about. @lalitk I think there may be a bit of a misunderstanding. I didn't actually make a "generalization about a component [I] never heard." Because I haven't heard ... | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! Accuphase kit interests me, but I've never heard any of it. From what I've read/heard people say, it seems like they have an atypical class-A sound; cooler, flatter, a bit recessed by comparison. I'm working from memory here, but I think that's ... | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! I'd like to revisit the question of amplification for these speakers. What about something like a low-power class A amp? The Pass Labs XA-25, say, or the INT-25? | |
| Jazz for aficionados 'Cause g's are for squares, daddy-o. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great stuff, @frogman6. | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! Add my thanks, @mulveling ! Now what's all this about the future of Tannoy? |
