| Monitors that compete with quality floorstanders?? I also recommend the Decapos. They are among the very best monitors anywhere close to their price I've listened to but then some might be a bit turned off by their liveliness, a reason I prefer them, among other attributes that I haven't heard in ... | |
| most clear, crisp sound power amps, monoblocks ? See what happens when you ask a simple question on this site Narciso? It's typical so don't feel too bad! I like Output Transformer Less (OTL) amplifiers matched with the proper speaker. If you are not familiar with these and you are new at this I... | |
| Of all your gear, what piece impresses you most? My Berning zh270, 12 + years of ownership and frankly a product that has to date not shown me ANY limitations with the right speaker. It is in demand for good reason, the value/performance/efficiency quotient is unparalled compared to any amplifie... | |
| tube amplifier for classical music,large orchestr. Well maybe someone may have a different opinion since I haven't heard ALL the SET amplifiers out there but of the one's I have heard over the years, going up to 50 watts, I have yet to hear one convincingly reproduce large scale orchestral music, ... | |
| Latin Female Singers - Any suggestions? Frogman I agree her delivery is quite special. She can move you in many ways. I would suspect she might be an acquired taste for the average American listener hearing her for the first time but there will be others that fall in love. One thing for... | |
| Latin Female Singers - Any suggestions? Hew if you like Gal Costa with that breathy shimmer at the end of a phrase, uniquely Gal, I would highly recommend "Gal Costa Canta Jom Jobim" a live 2 cd set with excellent sonics, superb arrangements and Gal in top form. The "Elis and Tom" recom... | |
| Talkin' 'bout my De Capo's Well the Harbeth's are very nice speakers Simao, musical in their own right. You may or may not agree with their presentation. I would certainly listen to them before committing on changing unless for change sake, we are after all audiophiles not ... | |
| Talkin' 'bout my De Capo's Hi Rebbi I too find these speakers VERY special. Having the opportunity to listen to many speakers and systems over the years regardless of price the Decapos offer a really big slice of the full spectrum of music in a compact, affordable package. ... | |

| Some irrefutable truths about rock and roll Fleetwood Mac, now there's a band with some real history. While I very much liked the "2 chicks" era I really dug the Bob Welch era and of course how could you not be hpnotized by that song? A band that evolved with a lot of different sounds and m... | |
| merlin vsm owners , what is your room size ? It seems you have answered your question, the amp doesn't have enough "drive" to excite the room and engage you as it did in your previous room. I went through the same issue when I moved to a larger room when I was using a 25 watt OTL with the VS... | |
| Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it How long am I going to continue this trial and error? I would only say this Tbg, as long as you feel necessary. You really made my point "trusting your ears is trial and error", and work. How much time one is willing to expend in the "trial and er... | |
| Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it Audiolabyrinth you didn't offend me in the least, neither did Jmcgrogan, there is no need for any apology whatsoever. It seems the thread started off on the issue of Broadstone not being able to discern differences in cabling. The thread turned in... | |
| Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it Audiolabyrinth, I don't think this thread is about Taralabs, OM or any specific cable but the subjectivity of what we we each as individuals hear and prioritize not to mention our individual experiences and exposure to different equipment. The opt... | |
| Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it It isn't a secret Schubert but I didn't want to make it into a "my cable is better than yours" thread and stay on point to the op's observation. I just like them a lot and they CLEARLY do what other cables have not in my system, offer a clearer mo... |
