Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I had the chance recently to Demo the Walsh 5000's at another A-gon members home.Excellent speaker, really pretty amazing what it could do.  The adjustments on the back made a real difference.  Coherence was a real strength, as was the BASS and th... 
Legacy Audio Focus SE vs. Canton Reference 5K
I've never owned either, I have heard them.Canton will give you a slightly larger soundstage, but will be brighter and not quite have the ooomph in the low end that those Legacy will have.  Legacy makes a nice speaker, the dealer I heard them at s... 
Legacy Audio Focus SE vs. Canton Reference 5K
Have you heard the Cantons?Sounds like you are familiar with the Legacy, and to some extent like it.  What do you wish that it did better?  If the answer is nothing, than I wouldn't worry about the Canton one would think.If there are things you wi... 
Legacy Audio Focus SE vs. Canton Reference 5K
What are you looking for in a speaker?Canton's (that I have heard) can get a little bright.  Cantons are a tough resale in the USA.  Legacy's move all the time.5k I heard was a solid speaker, I don't think it puts out the bass that the Legacy Focu... 
Paradigm Persona the right source matters!
So bright speakers need a smooth source and electronics.  Got it.You are on of the best alchemists of magical source and speaker matching in the country.  Got it.You find it more important to be right than sell, got it.Thank you for clarifying.  A... 
Need Perfect Speakers for Acoustically Hostile Placement
@audiotroy you stated a point source was the only option that would work well for the OP.  Simply not true. Not shocking you would make a false statement while shilling. 
Need Perfect Speakers for Acoustically Hostile Placement
I would use a speaker designed to be an in wall. Use the cabinet, dampen properly and if you still want it to look like a cabinet door build it inset just a few inches.  I know you said you don’t want to build it, but sure seems you have the budge... 
Thoughts on mating ML ESL 11 A's to a butler TDB 2250 hybrid amp
@pvmike BK Butler makes a fine amp, under 2k used you have lots of choices. Butler is a good one with just a little bit of tube seasoning.  I suspect it would sound excellent. Vincent audio makes something similar, If you want another small compan... 
Axpona reviewers perceptions and reality
So then who constantly posts here on A-Gon?Dave or Troy, or both of you.  Sure reads as it is the same person.... 
Axpona reviewers perceptions and reality
Didn’t you already give us your expert commentary on Axpona in both a thread you started, as well as just about any other that someone commented in?Heck, you posted so many times you changed your opinion on the Persona 3f room and went from a shre... 
2019 Axpona Review
Shocker, Audiotroll finds a way to spin a post to be about what he sells, and how it's better.  While I do like Legacy, just amazing (not really) how you spun the OP's enjoyment of a speaker to talk about how what you sell does it better.Here is a... 
Paradigm Persona series
If an 8k amp and 25k speaker only sounds "decent".Then one must conclude that then either the speaker isn't worth 25k, the amp isn't worth 8k... or both.Any 33k pairing (and of course with expensive cables, power conditioning, and iso footers  on ... 
Paradigm Persona series
@audiotroy Ah yes, my "naivity" shows... of course, if that was a real word we could debate that.  I believe the word you meant to use was naivete (with an accent over the final e) or heck even naivety... or heck in plain spoken english... "my lac... 
Paradigm Persona series
@audiotroy "Most truly high resolution loudspeakers will only come alive with the right group of components."Says the guy who sells crazy expensive cables, iso-footers etc.Will a better source, amp, pre-amp and ROOM make a difference, sure. But th... 
Vandersteen 7 mark ll or big Kef blades
So@audiotroy To summarize.You only are pointing out how a speaker (that you of course sell) is a better value than what another person asks about. Amazing how you always have a better value.But, if the Tekton owners point out the same thing, they ...
