Dynaudio Evidence Platinum or Consequence UE
Not sure how many pairs were made in Wenge but that is what my dealer had at one point. These could be them.http://app.audiogon.com/listings/full-range-dynaudio-consequence-ultimate-edition-wenge-2015-02-09-speakers-85284-tempe-az. 
Dynaudio Evidence Platinum or Consequence UE
Souljasmooth - No never heard the Masters or Temptations. As far as the mid range in the Consequence UE to me it is more forward sounding which is not my cup of tea. Again to me I'd prefer a piano note over a voice or an acoustical guitar with the... 
Dynaudio Evidence Platinum or Consequence UE
I wouldn't say they are not popular but you are comparing 2 very large and expensive speakers. Either speaker is too big for my room. I have heard both and will say the Consequence UE goes deeper and is punchier than the Evidence Platinum's. Just ... 
Comparing Audioquest cable to Morrow
Nordost Red Dawn doesn't work in my system so that comparison is specificly useful as well. Was the Red Dawn an original or from the newer Leif series? When I demoed the original Nordost line the Blue Haven and Red Dawn were very bright sounding ... 
Dynaudio Evidence Platinum or Consequence UE
I do like the looks of the Consequence UE better than the Evidence Platinums, which plays a small role in my curiousness. These two speakers kind of remind me of the S25 vs. the C1, but on a much larger scale. I preferred the S25 slightly over the... 
Dynaudio Evidence Platinum or Consequence UE
Since you're familiar with the Dyn line-up the Consequence UE is a specialty speaker IMO. Much like the S25 and Sapphire except the top of the line for that type of speaker. Very punchy and more forward than the typical Dyn sound. The Evidence Pla...

Looking for speakers under 3000.00 used
Check out Dynaudio. I had the C1's and C1 sig's and I have to admit they had a huge sweet spot and great dynamics for their size. Are you looking for a monitor or floor stander? 
Wire Tangle?????
Rather than coil them make a snake. Ok what's a snake? I just made that up. Think of the letter S then the dollar sign $. Where the vertical line in the $ is where you would squeeze the cable together. Actually that is more like an accordion. Also... 
Audioquest Comet vs.Nordost Frey2
Sheilalagro I think you answered your own question. Remember it's your ears and budget - no one else. That said I have original Frey SC and Tyr2 IC's. The series2 is a more liquid sound than the original but still has the speed - soundstage and cl... 
Scansonic mb serie
I was recently at a Scansonic demo. They had the MB-1.5/2.5/3.5 and Raidho X1's. These MB series are designed by Mike B who also designed the Raidho series BUT with a budget in mind. For the money they are very nice sounding speakers. But in my op... 
new to this
IMO I would shop speakers first. To me all speaker manufacturers have a 'house sound'. Find the sound that suits your taste first. Then I think it will easier to find an amp to 'tweak' that sound you like. 
New KT150 tubes?
Just found this on another site. ARC amps and KT150's Audio Research finally clarified this morning in writing that the KT150's are electrically compatible with the following: VSi60 VSi75 REF75 REF150 REF250 REF750 However, because the KT150 is ph... 
Got Static?
Well since this tread started I have been getting a lot of shocks around the house (outside temp has been highs in the single digits and lows well below zero). Also I got a nasty cold. I broke down and bought a humidifier. Took 2 days to get the h... 
Tuning Rel G1
01-09-15: TrcnsI dropped the Crossover from 35 to 25 and then even to 20 hz and started to increase it little by little. At 20 to 25 Hz I had to increase the volume from 6 to 9 but after 25 I had to go back to 6 otherwise the bass was too high.Thi...
