| Food or beryllium tweeters for my DeCapo's Rebbi that is precisely it, what you say. While the resolution of this speaker is off the charts it isn't the "oh, I never heard or noticed THAT before". That isn't it at all. It is the musical resolution, the connection over any sound. I REALLY b... | |
| Norah Jones Thanks Dorkwad for the "The Joni Letter" recommendation. Being a big fan of Joni maybe this can connect me to Norah in a small way. Coincidentally I just had a few buddies over to listen this morning/afternoon and one brought the first Norah cd. W... | |
| Food or beryllium tweeters for my DeCapo's I believe these are older model Ohms probably from the early to mid 80's I'm sure if not older. The box is quite large. | |
| Food or beryllium tweeters for my DeCapo's I was just listening to some Monk last night, "The London Sessions Vol. 1, 24 bit remastered. Just wanted to share how very special and engaging it was, a favorite solo piano recording that revealed his artistry in such a deep way. It just keeps h... | |
| Norah Jones Love the passion guys! I'm in that camp that doesn't get her vocal appeal, or I should say she doesn't engage me. I also find her boring and too found it very difficult to listen through her first album. I wouldn't say she has a bad voice, actuall... | |
| Anyone listened to LaHave Speakers Thanks for the responses. This is the problem with a speaker manufacturer with so little exposure, too few have heard them so it just becomes a leap of faith based on the little info provided which I'm unwilling to do, been there done that, not th... | |
| Best Band of the Big Band Era ? Artie Shaw and Count Basie and Tommy Dorsey, to slow the tempo up a bit, are my favorites. | |
| Tubes vs Solid State Ah Mapman if I misread your intent, which surprised me btw, just never you mind me! | |
| Tubes vs Solid State Nice try Mapman, I'm just guessing that you haven't recently heard or listened to the best attributes that tube contribute to reproduced sound. I could say the same thing about my inexperience with Class D amplifiers. Not all tube amps nor class D... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State I still find the Berning zotl amps have the speed, drive, dynamic capability and bass control of the BEST SS amps with the dimension, texture, low level resolution and presence of the best tube amps providing they are ideally matched to the speake... | |
| Food or beryllium tweeters for my DeCapo's Mapman I know a guy that has a pair of the OHM Welsh I believe. He had them in a small cottage house when he and his wife moved from Pennsylvania to Daytona Beach. Too small a space to set them up in that place but he moved to a larger house sever... | |
| Food or beryllium tweeters for my DeCapo's My apologies Lewis, I found the review. The room size for the review of this almost 6' tall speaker was 15'4"W by 16'3"L by 6'10"H, a perfect transducer choice for such a cavernous space, what was I thinking? Thanks for the link Mapman. As far as ... | |
| Food or beryllium tweeters for my DeCapo's Talk about reviewers for Stereophile. There was one guy back in the late 80's early 90's that did a review of the B&W 800, a really large speaker in his 10X12 listening room or something that size, what was Atkinson thinking? I have to find it... | |
| Food or beryllium tweeters for my DeCapo's Oh the Montanas, yes I know a few that have them. One set-up isn't so bad and he's had them for years with ARC gear. I couldn't tell you the model number. Certainly not my cup of tea for most music but he is primarily a rocker listens to quite a b... | |
| Food or beryllium tweeters for my DeCapo's Hi Tubeears In keeping with the spirit of this thread and to keep it alive I wanted to add my take on the cable changes with the Decapos. Yesterday my friend brought over his cables. When he first brought them over to hear with the Merlins, I had ... |
