| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade I've never heard the Treos but I can't even imagine what you describe is attributable to the intrinsic character of the speaker, certainly not ANY Vandersteen speaker in the numerous set-ups I've heard. If this were the case it would have been not... | |
| Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths? I would think the prevalence of the dealer ads indicates more their popular appeal to a broad range of listeners than anything less, a means to sell other than locally. If there is no local dealer how else would you purchase? | |
| Slow adaptation of KT150 by amp mmanufacturers jgottget, I didn't see this amp on the website just a note that the Silver 88s were discontinued (couldn't procure all the parts necessary is what I understand)I've had the Silver 88s for well over a month alternating back and forth with my recent... | |
| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? "Engkirk, did you happen to notice that you are responding to a thread from 15 years ago? Don't know why I find that funny, but I do..."Spencer I wonder if Engkirk wants to "participate" in the argument, maybe find some willing to do so? This subj... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? "So I think there are three types of audiophiles. Stage I is loving music and replacing hearing it live with cheap audio equipment. Stage II is loving music that is well reproduced. And Stage III is great reproduction and realism."Tbg, that post o... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Hey Map those MHDT units are musical if not the last word in detail, they get tone right. Better than the other way around. The Havana was my favorite before I purchased a Modwright Oppo, it was just so enjoyable and engaging contrary to some of t... | |
| Doge 9 listening experience... Price Stringreen, it's really price. If one has champagne taste and a ......... what do you do? When it comes time to service will be the time that love can turn into anxiety and even worse. But then again maybe these units are very well built and... | |
| Music and politics What's wrong with Donald? He's got just south of 8 bil in the bank, doesn't find ALL Mexicans objectionable, "some MIGHT be very good people" and has no hidden agenda, he says what he thinks. He seems a reflection of everything many in this crazy ... | |
| Infinity Irs Beta Two of the absolute top systems I've ever had the pleasure of listening to are the IRS Betas owned by a good friend's brother in law driven by ARC electronics and the IRS Reference 5, and specifically owned by Arnie Nudell at one time himself wher... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps "The only thing is that they do not go as loud as completely effortlessly as my 500 w/ch Bel Canto amps, but then a gain few amps do."If they are as you describe them Mapman I would only ask WHY are you selling them. I don't dispute a word you say... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Also Charles, forgot to mention, he was also an SET guy, he had a nice pair of Antique 845 monos. I remember not too far back sending me an email about a particular SET DHT amp for sale on Audiogon to try with the Decapos. I didn't because I didn'... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Thanks Charles for your kind words. That's just it Charles! I haven't yet I've heard some wonderful SS systems. Initially they can sound great but as I listen long enough there always seems to be something missing that causes me to veer away from ... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Hey Map, I haven't heard the amp in question, just speaking generally based on my experiences. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against ss, there are some gems out there, most of those a bit more than I would pay. The point is that tubes render ... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps "These might appeal to SET lovers as an alternative SS design with tube amp sound in mind."I doubt that Mapman. The First Watt M2 a SE (Class A) zero feedback design as an example is a very fine amplifier and as much as I enjoy it there ARE differ... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Oh I don't think you're disparaging the Decapos at all Brownsfan, I was just curious is all as our results are quite different. Smctique my listening room is 18X20X10 opening to an adjacent 8X12X10 area so it is quite good, if not for that open ar... |
