| Spendor D7 We learned long ago that there are no absolutes in audio. Speaker X may be "brilliant" to one set of ears and much less so to another.If several people concur that a given speaker is good, then it may be worth seeking out to give it an audition, t... | |

| Bookshelf Bake Off Check out Fritz speakers. You’ll be glad you did. Search commentary on them on this site.You could also look at Silverline, another fine brand. | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Graham are very much in the "thin wall" vein of Harbeth and the "classic" Spendor line. They make a 5/8 and a 5/9. They are also about to introduce a re-engineered 5/5, with the famous BBC slot, that will use a 3-driver complement similar to the... | |

| Pin point imaging isn't for everyone GK brings up an interesting point, but it's more complicated than that. On many good piano recordings you can tell from what vantage point the piano has been recorded, the two most frequent perspectives being from the side (lid open to mikes), an... | |
| ... WHAT POWER CORD(S) ARE PLAYING IN YOU SYSTEM TODAY? Isotek Synchro EVO3 out of the wall; Cullen Cable Gold to the preamp/amps; JPS Labs Digital AC-X to the CD player; Project wall wart to the turntable. | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Has anybody other than me actually ever heard the Spendor Classic 100? (Spendor’s name for what would otherwise be the SP100 Mk III). In the US I know David Lewis has them, but I don’t know who else.In a head-to-head audition against the D7, I pre... | |
| wide baffles and baffle step Yes, I've looked at the Troels GravesEn "Poor Man's Stradivari" more than once. Anyone on here build or own one of his designs? | |
| Any Love For Bryston Here? My impression is that Bryston has the reputation of producing very well engineered, neutral amps, the larger models being very powerful and all of which will go the long haul. But on A'gon whenever anybody asks about, say, Bryston vs. Pass, the P... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Last time I was at Command Performance (in Wash DC suburbs) they had both Super Nines and X's on the floor. Unfortunately I didn't audition either--heard the O93's, Contour 60 and Kanta 2 that day. The Super Nines were on display at the Capital ... | |

| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Lamentably, no one's auditioning the new Spendor Classic 100 (their name for what would otherwise be the SP100 Mk3), because there are so few in dealers' showrooms, because of the current fashion for thin speakers. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I don't understand why music like Schmelzer's Sonatae unarum fidium isn't more popular. I find it delightful and sometimes really exciting. Especially in the hands of Andrew Manze and Romanesca. Looking forward to comparing this recording with ... | |
| Audio Reviewers Gordon Holt published plenty of critical reviews--that was the whole raison d'etre of the original Stereophile as an outsider mag--no longer the case. Also: the market is so stuffed with product these days (how many speaker companies are there?, ... |
