| Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday! Does anyone remember the original Bright Star Little Rock? I think I still have one somewhere. The are VPI bricks more effective? | |
| narrow and wide baffles and imaging @kosst_amojan OK, I'll bite. By imaging I understand individual sound sources (voice, instrument) being well defined and easily localizable within the overall sound stage. Ideally, the listener should be able to map, more or less precisely, whe... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? I heard the AN-E's and O/93's the same day, albeit in different environments. In terms of sheer purity of timbre, I'd definitely give it to the Audio Notes. | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 What happened to discussion of the Constellation?More generally, I'm kinda surprised there isn't more discussion on this forum of brands like Constellation, CH Precision, Soulution, etc. | |
| Sound stage height?? When your system starts to tell you how the engineer positioned the mikes and what kind of mix he applied to the feed, you know you're getting there with refining your system.Listening to classical piano music a lot, I notice this constantly. Wha... | |
| narrow and wide baffles and imaging So what about the SF Elipsa series, which if memory serves is a good deal wider than any other SF models? Did SF ever provide a rationale for why they did the Elipsa's that way?@prof Exactly! That's precisely what struck me--and impressed me--a... | |
| Is there actually a difference? Partly depends on the interaction of the amp and the loudspeaker connected, and their electrical characteristics. A given amp can sound bad on one speaker and much better on another. But yes, agree with @shadorne, not a huge difference between c... | |
| narrow and wide baffles and imaging @shadorne Interesting. If I understand correctly, those parameters would put both the Harbeth and the Spendor into your "worst" category.@kosst_amojan How wide is wide in your reckoning? Also wondering how proper radiusing of corners mitigates o... | |
| narrow and wide baffles and imaging @prof Hmmm. In my auditioning of the 40.2's in a big room in which they could well and truly breathe, they both imaged and sound-staged extraordinarily well. The Classic 100's in another set-up also did very well on both scores, to my mind.@ana... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? The 40.1's and .2's are a big physical presence in a room. You can look at the dimensions and even mark them out on the floor in painter's tape, but you need to see them to appreciate how imposing they are. If your room can accommodate them, the... | |
| What speakers work well against a wall Audio Note all the way. I was so impressed with their presentation that I was even considering non-optimal location (i.e. away from wall). If you can afford it, go for the big ones in their basic model, though the smaller ones also sound good an... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? @kcpellethead And the verdict is...…….??? | |
| CD player just tanked. Easy solution. Go with the Sony for a while; there's not going to be too much of a difference. If you're still interested in upgrading after a while, there are always multiple options on the 'gon at a variety of price points for a newer but used... | |
| Class D Audio A new and cryptic way of shilling for this?http://classdaudio.com/?SID=1174e495ee1db38505cb739042440d36 | |
| Dac Technology Mature? Mature, yes, in the sense that you can engineer tube amps that sound a lot like solid state, and solid state amps that sound a lot like tubes. W.r.t. DACs, unless you go out of your way to engineer something that sounds a lot different from the c... |
