| JBL 4367: What an AMAZING sounding speaker! Couldn't afford 4367s, so I bought a used pair of the D2430K drivers ($800), a new pair of the small VFX-series horn that JBL also uses with the D2430K ($100), a pair of the 2216Nd-1 woofers ($1200), and had a local cabinetmaker copy the internal ... | |
| sand versus shot in speaker stands Manufacturers have long supplied tin-coated lead shot to eliminate even the possibility of lead dust and associated hazards. Once mixed with sand (recommended) and sealed inside the post of a speaker stand, no more dangerous than sand alone. | |
| Coherent Speakers from Canada A long-time Tannoy dual concentric enthusiast, I recently auditioned, at Coherent Audio, a pair of the Model 15s (non-beryllium version). Suffice to say, I put down a deposit and expect to take delivery in the next week or so. Unlike many of you p... | |
| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? The smallest speaker of which I have personal experience that goes down to 20 Hz would be the Hart Audio Phoenix. It’s spec’d by the manufacturer (David Hart) as –3 dB @ 16.33 Hz. Dimensions are: 36" H x 16" W x 20" D. But each cabinet weighs 94 k... | |
| Anyone ever hear Meyer Sound X-10 speakers? Belated response: You can't use the X-10s with a low watt SET system, or any other outboard amplification: they're active speakers with onboard amplification, built-in EMI/RFI filtering, and DSP crossover, not to mention the patented PSAC circuitr... | |
| Accuphase F-25 Active Crossover, any experience? The F-25 is the highest fidelity crossover I've tried, audibly superior to Bryston 10B as well as to the various Rane, Ashly, JBL and other pro audio crossovers.The downside is the high cost of frequency modules. My current active set-up requires ... | |
| Any experience with TAD speakers ? TAD doesn't license technology from any other manufacturer. However, TAD designs may be described as a more refined JBL. In the late 1970s, when Pioneer created the Technical Audio Devices Division, they hired an ex-JBL transducer engineer, Bart L... | |
| Esoteric K-01/K-03 Owners Anybody with a K-03x having disc reading problems? I bought mine used a few months agoseller said he was moving up to the K-02but a few weeks ago the unit stopped recognizing most discs. At first repositioning the disc in the tray worked, but no... | |
| Audio Sensibility vs. Signal Cable speaker cable I use Audio Sensibility Impact and Testament interconnects, analogue and digital, as well some power cords Steve Huang, the owner, has made up for me using Neotech and Furutech wire. Not inclined to experiment with cables any more. Associated equi... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 Apologies for coming in late and changing the topic...but there's a lot of knowledge about Esoteric products in this thread, so I figure this is a good place to askÂDoes any one have experience of two different configurations of the D-03?After bu... | |
| Preamp: adjustable impedance + GAIN I am not aware of any preamplifier with adjustable input and output impedance. Not saying no such device exists, just that I've never heard of one. Other than that, the new Esoteric preamps (C-03x and C-02) may satisfy your other requirements (the... | |
| Anyone ever hear Meyer Sound X-10 speakers? Yeah, I've got a pair. Don't plan on replacing them. | |

| McIntosh MC402 I am also considering purchasing a (used) MC402 to use with a pair of Tannoy System 215 DMT II. Currently using a McCormack DNA-500. I am concerned, though, that the MC402 doesn't increase its power output into lower impedance loads. | |
| Wish List For Vinyl Pressings Emmylou Harris's "Wrecking Ball." After all these years, my CD version gets a lot of play; would love to get the LP, which was issued along with the CD, but the small number that were are now horrendously expensive (circa $300). |
