| Wide dispersion + high efficiency + detail + coherence in a speaker? For 20 grand you can buy 10 pairs of Heresy IIIs and stack them pointing in various directions to insure dispersion. | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? My band was an utterly obscure blues band in Honolulu called "Cauldren" that was around for less than a year. I was part of a small group of musicians that did the endless bar band gigs in Hawaii for many years. 6 night a week...but fun. Also, the... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? It's a speaker and a 1995 Harrison Ford movie. What's not to like? | |
| chinese counterfeitng Hegel...made in China. | |
| What are best hi efficiency speakers under $1000? Who doesn't like a 10 year thread jump? At my age that's nothin' man...nothin'. | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? I've heard most DeVores, and they're all great sounding things with proper gear of course...however, they seem fairly expensive for what they do and are made out of, but people who own 'em swear by them...especially the low powered tube amp crowd ... | |
| To active speaker or not.. this is the question Mackie HR824s can make pricey "audiophile" active stuff seem tired. Recommended. Also, I prefer outboard amps as they’re changeable and easier to fix (sort of) on the fly. Another audio geek thing that I think is interesting is with the proliferat... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? "It's Heresy man." I’m a kick drum tone freak to the extent that I’ve required therapy for this from time to time, and my band opened for Led Zeppelin in early ’69, a thing that takes years to recover from if you’re a Bonham fan. I’ve also jammed ... | |
| Value of burn/break in? If you prefer the sound of pre "burned in" gear you have to turn the whole thing off for several days (or sometimes months) between listening sessions, and those sessions have to take place right after you power up the system and for no longer tha... | |
| What are best hi efficiency speakers under $1000? Note the Heresy IIIs are currently the result of the last re-design in 2006 or something...titanium drivers, better woofer, bi wire capability, made of imported Dagwood, waterproofed, mosquito repellant, magnetic grills that can be put on your ref... | |
| Is Speaker design evolution stagnant The simple answer is no. | |
| Class D Audio C'mon tpreaves...Clearly he's talking about Tom, and stuff happening. It's a comment that would fit in nearly any thread...you simply need a Tom...and happening stuff. | |
| tubesforhifi VTA sp14 or shiit freya I can clarify my thinking for you kalali...For a NEW preamp it's less expensive than everything you noted, and if I see a great sounding balanced tube preamp out there with the interesting and unique pile of features the Freya has for 700 bucks, I... | |
| What are best hi efficiency speakers under $1000? Heresy IIIs are amazingly good speakers, although slightly off your budget...mine are the Capitol Edition (no biggie, just list for 500 bucks more) that cost 1500 bucks new from Ebay. Here's a cool review: https://www.stereophile.com/content/liste... | |
| How to keep my stack of Adcoms cool... An open rack is all I’ve ever used, and that obviates the open door issue. Raised a kid and neither her or her friends ever bothered my gear, and now with tube pre-amp and amp I give both a lot of space, and other than dusting things from time to ... |
