| Rockport Technologies addresses cabinet vibration? Yet Harbeth sounds just as good if not better than those speakers that are more inert than your kitchen countertops. | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation There's one of those right now on Agon for $4.9K and further room to negotiate. How would the bass compare between the Focus 380 and the Contour S3.4 LE? | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation Look at full range listing on Agon today for $4K-$5K. There are a couple of pairs of Dynaudios, Acoustic Zen and Reference 3A which are all more sophisticated than the GEs, as value-for-money as those latter are new. And it would be hard to go wr... | |
| Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers As watts got cheaper with ss, designers could not put as much effort into creating high imp. speakers and could also experiment with low imp. designs.But my question is: %-wise, what contributes to impedance: the overall design (enclosure, drivers... | |
| Matching an Amplifier to my Proac Response 2.5s + CJ PV5 For many years I ran my 2.5s with a 12W Cary SE Class A tube amp, and was very, very happy with the result. This was based on a recommendation a long time ago from Arnie, the founder of A-gon, when he still ran a B&M store, Accutronics, in An... | |
| What's up with AudiogoN? "Ending Today" functions in a totally random fashion for me. Sometimes multiple pages show up, sometimes none. Click on something else and go back, and a different number of pages shows. Work through them sequentially, and it usually stops shor... | |
| To Bi-Wire or use Jumpers? How about thinking about it this way. For a given $ sum, you can get two runs for bi-wiring or a better single run. If you get short lengths of the same cable to link the terminals (see Wireworld, for instance), you get better cable and avoid ma... | |
| Cambridge CXC with Arcam irDAC I paired the CXC with the Gungnir. Sound is more than OK, but didn't outdo my now long-in-the-tooth Bryston BCD-1. The CXC works fine, but the remote is very frustrating. You get a one-size-fits-all remote that has minimal controls for the trans... | |
| MARANTZ NEW REFERENCE 10 SERIES Yup. AFAIK, previously they were just good ole class AB. Time to pick up a PM11S3, methinks. | |
| Wilson Audio Haters I've only heard Wilsons in dealers' showrooms. They have always been playing percussive jazz at high volumes, and the effect was hard and fatiguing, making me want to exit the room a.s.a.p. rather than stay and listen.That, combined with the pric... | |
| MARANTZ NEW REFERENCE 10 SERIES They've gone over to the D(ark) side. Wonder why the box is so large and heavy... | |
| PSB T3 Owners - Tell Me About Your Speakers - Considering Purchase - Can't Demo Them You'll find the Salk enthusiasts over on another audio forum where, er, they go round and round. | |
| Quack System Upgrades beeswax? | |
| MARANTZ NEW REFERENCE 10 SERIES So the PM-11S3 is being discontinued and replaced by the considerably more expensive PM-10? Is that right? | |
| PSB T3 Owners - Tell Me About Your Speakers - Considering Purchase - Can't Demo Them If you buy them from Crutchfield they should be returnable, no questions asked. Best to check the fine print beforehand, though. |
