| Infinity Kappa owners Lost a pair of Kappa 8.1s in a divorce. I loved those speakers! | |
| Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs Whoops. The Vertex’s are $9500. Those are the one I have heard. Carbon fiber cabinets are obscene. Feeling better every day about my pricing. | |
| Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs I heard the Kaiser's at Rhapsody Audio in Manhattan. Rhapsody and Singer are still listed as dealers. They are also both Raidho dealers.I heard the Wilson Benesch's at Singer in Manhattan. It looks like he doesn't carry them anymore. My demo's... | |
| Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs I am a huge fan of the Kaiser Chiara. I think they are $22K but are arguably the speaker I think all monitors should be measured against. Cabinet is interesting materials and is a composite sandwich of wood, fiberglass and rubber. I heard these... | |
| Stand-mount speaker/monitor recommendation I have been following your other thread as I am curious what folks recommend. The Omega you are looking at seems like an awesome speaker with a lower powered amp but I haven’t heard it. I import a line of higher end tube amps with the bulk of the ... | |
| SEAS vs SB Acoustics SB is a Malaysian company. Revel uses SB drivers in the Performa line and I assume the Concerta though I am not 100% sure on this. Excellent quality drivers and Far East production makes them a good value. Once you put a speaker in a box, you a... | |
| Mmmm Crow tastes good... I have always preferred the sound of two monitors with a sub or subs. I find it gives a lot more flexibility in terms of placement and room optimization. Because my wife wants the smallest box possible, at home I run a Sunfire Tru SuperJunior wh... | |
| 300B SET or EL34 SET I understand completely. When you hear something that you love, you want nothing else. Also get that everything in Europe is more due to VAT. I couldn't find an impedance measure on those speakers either but generally speaking, Tannoy's are gen... | |
| 300B SET or EL34 SET Other option beyond Audion - You could consider a few other options. There are other tubes in the 300B family that can deliver very similar mids with a bit more power. 300BXLS, 520B and the 320B XLS/842 are all very interesting tubes. Examples... | |
| Who has the best midrange 2A3 or 300B ? Terrible speaker to pair with a 300B or 2A3 unless you were to find a Push Pull. You might find a used unit from Opera Consonance that may meet your needs. The M100S Plus is a 22w Push Pull using 300Bs and is a darn good sounding amp. It would ... | |
| 300B SET or EL34 SET If speakers were properly matched to the amp, I don't think there is much of a difference in terms of bass performance between and EL34 and 300B. Both will be a bit flabby compared to SS, but neither is much better than the other. The 300B is th... | |
| 300B SET or EL34 SET Both tubes (EL34 & 300B) have a pronounced midrange profile but IMO (based on the amps I sell from Art Audio) is that the EL34 has a pronounced mid emphasis and the high's are a bit rolled off compared to say, a KT88. The 300B has a lush, alm... | |
| Recommended speaker for second system If he sells the HRSs, I would be interested. Does he have the stands? I always loved those speakers. Check out Monitor Audio Silver 100s. At $1050, they are on budget and brilliant. I would take the HRSs on trade, but my cheapest speaker woul... | |
| dissapointed - new LS50w's vs old PioneerFS52's/Luxman R113 - so far Kef's not so great? The LS50s take forever to break in. There is a dealer in Manhattan who refused to sell the floor model they have because they don't want to go through the pain of breaking them in again. I have listened to a new pair next to one that is fully br... | |
| Audio Troy Capital Audio Fest the good, the bad and the ugly! @pops thanks for the callout above. Really appreciate it. Since I was working the show, I didn’t get to many rooms but the guys next door to me at MC Audiotech had a really different speaker. I got to hear a couple different instrumentals on it... |
