| Is it the beer or do speakers/electronics really need some extended warm-up period? Thanks Doug, I can't believe I wasted time and money via my electric bill, because I delusionally imagined my Bryston amp sounded better after being on for 24 hours or so. Over and over I imagined this. If only this thread had appeared years ago. ... | |
| PranaFidelity speakers, what say you? Always a top sounding room. His systems have a certain 'soul' that eludes most others. And they have that certain something that just makes them great fun to listen to. I was disappointed that he didn't have a room this past year at RMAF. Just a '... | |
| Luxman L-590AX My only caveat to you is that the Harbeths are pretty inefficient. In a small room I guess it wouldn't matter, but it is something to consider.I am driving Legacy Focus SE with AMT tweeters, but they are big, efficient speakers. | |
| Luxman L-590AX I know this an older thread, and I rarely post, but I bought the L-590AX MKII three months ago, and it is the single best piece of equipment I've ever purchased. I'm 56, and have been pursuing great sound since I was 15.I've been disappointed more... | |
| Has anyone auditioned Prana Fidelity speakers? I'm not good at descriptions of a particular sound, but at RMAF 2014 and 2015, Prana was in my top 5 for great sound. He had the new, larger, Vayu model this year and it made some great music. If I had to characterize their sound, I'd say they fal... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo Nearly 4 years, and I still have my Crescendos. For someone that changes audio components rather quickly, this is by far a record.I belong to an audio club, and I find the most prominent flaw(to my ears), is too analytical a sound. The Crescendos ... | |
| PSB or stick with vintage ADS Interesting... 15 years ago I listened to many speakers that I felt could best my trusty ADS's. I finally found the PSB Stratus Golds kicked everything to a whole new level. Obviously this was many years ago, but from a value perspective, PSB is s... | |
| Reference 3A Grand Veena, can they rock? You will be sorely disappointed if and when you turn up the volume on the Grand Veenas. The midrange driver is run full range, which makes it a seamless sound, but that also means it is fed bass frequencies. As a result, the Grand Veenas won't pla... | |
| Anyone in New York with Grand Veenas? I did the trial period for the Grand Veena, and I do not reccommend 'the process'. Since it is a large box and the shipping is international, I had to attach 5 copies of some form on the outside of the box that included my SS#, DOB, and a copy of ... | |
| Bryston BCD-1 Player Owners I also got off the upgrade merry-go-round via the BCD-1.I love the sound of this player- there is not a trace of hardness or digititus. The transport is dead quiet when spinning discs, and for about a year, the player has worked flawlessly.It is a... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendos- Any Owners Out There? I still own them, and I'm about to get rid of the boxes- they're staying.Their tonal balance is on the warm, forgiving side, which is what I have been looking for. Prior to the Crescendos, I had a small parade of speakers that were too analytical ... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo I have owned them for close to a year. Everyone is different, but I find them the perfect speaker for me. I had taken advantage of the trial periods for a few others- Reference3a Grand Veena, Zu Audio Definition Mk2, and a Tyler Acoustics model I ... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendos- Any Owners Out There? Jeff,My tastes run the gamut- in some semblance of 'airtime':Rock / pop 40%Blues 30%50's / 60's Jazz 20%World/Ethnic/Anything goes 10%What I EMPHATICALLY don't listen to are so-called audiophile recordings. | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendos- Any Owners Out There? I am most definitely not experiencing one note bass. In fact, the bass of the Crescendos seems more articulate than my previous speakers, Monitor Audio GS 60's. I am hesitant to post any type of full review just yet for several reasons. The speake... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendos- Any Owners Out There? Well then...It seems that I am one of a select few that have gone and ordered the Crescendos, and will have to take great care in reporting on their sound...To be continued next week- delivery is scheduled for Tuesday. |
