| Metal cabinet speakers You missed YG Acoustics, who make heroic metal cabinets. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I have a whole shelf-full of consort of viols CDs, mainly English (the composers I mean). I'm particularly fond of an album entitled "Crye" done by an ensemble called Concordia. Worth seeking out if this is your thing. | |
| My beloved CDP finally bit the dust If you can swing it, I'd look for a used Exogal. Provides the kind of sound signature you're looking for. | |
| So this is probably a really stupid question! Perhaps one Bose 901 fed both channels would do the trick. | |
| Gentleman, get yer credit cards ready... Based in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, that well-known hub of turntable production. | |
| My beloved CDP finally bit the dust Or what about Border Patrol? A few months ago they were the flavor du jour, but recently nobody mentions them... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados My system is the most revealing it's ever been--and I'm not always liking it.I've been immersed in Rachmaninov the last few days. Listened to Daniil Trifonov for no. 2, and Argerich for no. 3. Then I put on Boris Janis, on Mercury (2 & 3), w... | |
| Musicians in your living room vs. you in the recording hall? This is why I like speakers that tend to throw a distant soundstage, one which extends to the front wall and ideally beyond it. This helps to give the perspective of a concert hall. | |
| Your favourite music movie? Henry V, composed by Patrick Doyle.The Red Violin, composed by John Corigliano.These are the only two soundtracks I've gone out and bought on CD. | |
| Best Values In Speakers To Pair With Coincident Frankenstein MKII Monoblocks? I've heard the AN "E" speakers in their most basic incarnation, and they sounded very good indeed. All those "extras" seem to me to follow the law of diminishing returns (mainly more "detail"). Call Deja Vu in Wash DC, who are Audio Note dealers... | |
| Why No McIntosh Recommendations? Read this thread to get an accurate picture of current standard of factory support post sale.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/dc-offset-blocker-killer-where-to-buy-in-the-usa/post?highlight=mcintosh%2Bhum&postid=1692986#1692986 | |
| Pondering a Speaker Upgrade In DC, you've got Deja Vu, Gifted Listener (Centerville), Command Performance, and Evolution Audio. You can hear a really good range of speakers over a couple of days, without spending too much on gas. | |
| Why No McIntosh Recommendations? Who owns McIntosh nowadays? It's not like it used to be.See that recent thread about the guy with the humming integrated, and the factory attitude. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados In my concerto survey, Bortkiewicz's no. 1 on Hyperion struck me particularly favorably (probably more so than any of the other more or less obscure compositions on the CDs that I own of that series).So when I found out that he had composed two mo... | |
| Perception It's called suggestibility. The makers of adverts know all about it. Just a question of planting the seed of doubt, or the seed of lust (for something bigger and better). Different people may have different levels of resistance to it, but I don... |
