| What are your general thoughts of B&W speakers I ran B&W DM1800 speakers (with integral stands) as my main speakers for years. They were great, and I didn't feel the need to upgrade for the longest of times. B&W peaked with the Series III and pretty much went downhill since then. Mo... | |
| KEF, ProAc, Monitor Audio and others My new 4D system leaves conventional stereo and 3D in the dust.Besides width, depth, and height, 4D adds the further dimension of PRAT.Thanks to the "magic" of 4D, you are transported through a wormhole to the experience of the actual audio event ... | |
| Are HT speakers best for primary audio listening or not? Short answer: no.Speakers that have been designed with a view to their being used primarily in a HT system, will, typically, have been voiced differently. In my experience they often have a "technicolor" quality that makes soundtracks sound very ... | |

| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Where's klh007 when you need him? | |
| $20K to spend on speakers…. . wait! There’s a catch! Check out milpai's posts. He searched for two years, travelled to a bunch of places, and eventually settled on the D48R. *That* is a recommendation. | |
| KEF, ProAc, Monitor Audio and others How did you like the ProAc? What didn't you like about the Liszts?The other speaker that should be on your list is the Spendor D9.And yes, check out also Dynaudio Contour 60. | |
| Soundstage........ ^ This.Most basically, experiment with moving speakers wider apart and then closer together than you have them at the moment. Likewise, experiment with pulling them out further from the wall behind them. Then, when you have a handle on improveme... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Is this such a shoestring operation that they can't hire *one* more person to deal with phone calls, orders, posting on A'gon, etc.?I mean, are there units of the original Equi=core's still being manufactured? By whom? What about QC? I was seri... | |
| $20K to spend on speakers…. . wait! There’s a catch! With 20K you can afford a bit of a loss. Buy the used, and if you don't like them, sell them on. You're out, what?, 1K for an extended home audition. Compare that to what happens, cost-wise, if you don't like the new ones. | |

| Mixing speaker cables on bi-wired speakers Years ago Synergistic Research made a bi-ware speaker cable (with just one set of connectors at the amp end) that had a smaller wire on top and a heftier wire for the woofers. | |
| Why no discussions of Paradigm Persona for Home Theater? I heard the Persona B's this past summer. They were good, but they didn't blow me away. Particularly impressive was the amount of bass coming out of that small box. Timbre-wise, pretty neutral. A solidly engineered speaker, that--for me [YMMV]... | |
| Equi=core 1200 OR Equi=tech 1R OR Isotek EVO3 Aquarius Thanks for the feedback. I found this video; unless I’m missing something, it’s pretty impressive.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U77pH_nJtvMThere’s not a great deal inside the unit. Mainly what look like chokes to me. No idea what language this i... | |
| Does a new cd transport require break-in time? From Schiit:Clicking When Changing Sample Rates/Pausing/Etc. 1. It’s totally normal for our Bifrost and Gungnir DACs to click (mechanically, from the chassis) during normal operation. That’s the muting relay, doing its job. It clicks whenever the ... |
