| Need help : Single ended, Low power, SET amps.. Twl, even though full range Lowthers and Fostex may out-class the commercials, the Seas+Accuton+Philips should provide overall dynamic musicality. The DIY building the speakers says the Push-pull tube is just the thing. I hope one day to hear a Lo... | |
| SACD finally taking-off? non-classical listeners I agree with Maraka, all i want to do is upgrade my cd player, but not SACD and have to buy a new classical collection. I agree with Sean don't temp me with the new toy for the worlds wealthy, bring cd prices to around $10, ($5 is too low), AND mo... | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? I'm with John, My B&W 602's have boomy bass , muddy mids, and absolutly no sparkle to the treble. Seas woofers and ribbons in kits easily blow away any B&W's and most commercials. Audio Aero is superior digital, Jadis is superior tube. Ele... | |
| SACD finally taking-off? non-classical listeners I agree with Famaraca, why pay more for less! I agree with Sean , 80% of the population are not about to upgrade to SACD player. And not even upgrading their speakers or amps. SACD is a big gamble for Sony and Philips. The investment loss is a dro... | |
| Need help : Single ended, Low power, SET amps.. Thanks TWL. I hope one day that your dream comes true, the ZH270 or is it the Siegfried. I'm staying with the push-pull Jadis. | |
| Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century? John i can't seem to follow you. Give me another break down. Solid State amp, What brand? Going to what driver? ASL tube amp, going to what driver? That's a monster cabinet, what's the dimensions? Do you think the PHL's are more musical than the S... | |
| Need help : Single ended, Low power, SET amps.. Tmcroy, your tube xover (Marchand X126) + Single Ended + Bi-amp to push-pull sounds like a winner. But i don't choose my drivers by their db level. I look for what i believe to be superior drivers. Then i look for an appropriate amp. (i'm a Jadis ... | |
| Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century? Just got word from Rick at Selah Audio and Jeff at Sonic Audio(Accuton specialist). All Rick says is that your after sensitivity.(???) Jeff agrees with me about over-kill. Says that a 3 way with the R-3 is confusing to him. He's not sure how to wo... | |
| Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century? Yes I just asked Rick Craig about some help with design. All he said was that you are after sensitivity. I'm not sure exactly what that means. But i can see with your goal of 98db, he hit the nail on the head...hummm, so lets see there is alot goi... | |
| Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century? Hold up John, lets look at our options. The Raven 3 is one heck of a driver, so we want to do this right. Yes i believe i saw a design with the monster 20 3/4 inch Cabasse on E-Speakers.com. But have you seen the new Seas W26?!! For midrange i'm c... | |
| Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century? Hey John, are you the guy that posted a whilie back that you had the R-3's? Or are these new for you? Dude, That's one heck of a speaker!!!! Most folks don't know what the R-3's are all about. Now about the Lowthers i'm not too hip about, all i kn... | |
| Sensible Sound's annual speaker recommendations Zaikesman is on to something here. Could be that SS is looking to find new advertising accounts. $$$$$$. It's all about the money. Like Zaikesman i chose to totally ignore "recommendation lists". | |
| Sensible Sound's annual speaker recommendations Oh and for sub: Peerless XLS 10 or for even more go for the 12er. STUNNING! Price: bargain! | |
| Sensible Sound's annual speaker recommendations Nice recommendations by SS. Now for my 2002 recommendations: EX4 High Edition 3 way with Seas W22+W17+Seas 650 tweeter from Koch Audio Germany. $1500/pr. | |
