| Semi-Review Klipsch Chorus Ray, the chorus also seem to get a bit honky at louder volumes - luckily I don't listen loudly that often. I was considering the Heresy's as well, given they are room friendly (small) and frankly, kind of cool the way they sit on the floor. Not ch... | |
| Semi-Review Klipsch Chorus Amendment to my post - I said they had "top to bottom balance/coherency" - coherency was probably not the word I meant. I was referring to the fact that the speakers seemed to be reproducing all the frequencies (within spec), nothing missing, and ... | |
| Infinity Primus P363 TAS review Around 2003 or so I bought the latest "cheap" Infinity speakers (don't remember the model) while I was waiting for new speakers to arrive. They had great reviews if I recall correctly. May be IL series? Not sure. Previously, I had some reference m... | |
| Difference in B&W sound Speculating here, but having owned both Matrix 802s, 804s and Diamond 804s, to include both at the same time (804s), this may be very simply a matter of synergy with your electronics. As a rule B&Ws need power to open up, and (this is the spec... | |
| Hegel 80 with either KEF LS50 or KEF R300 Morty, the LS50s are excellent as you have probably read - I have mine with the 50 w/ch Arcam A19. The power is plenty (my room is medium, about 14' x 20'). I wanted to check out the Hegel but it does not have a headphone jack, which is important ... | |
| Looking for feedback Joseph Audio Joseph Audio speakers are really great. I heard the bookshelf speaker you refer to (not sure if it was the xl model, this was in the '90s) with a Creek Integrated amp. The sound was clear, engaging, musical. JA speakers are well regarded in genera... | |
| Honest Vintage Tube Repair - SoCal Thank you all for your responses. | |
| Upgrade from Harbeth Compact 7 If you are like me, you loved the Harbeths but with full range and full power music they broke up. At the same time I had a pair of Tyler Acoustics Linbrook monitors. They only gave up the smallest amount to the beauty of the Harbeth midrange but ... | |
| Subwoofer match for Harbeth 30.1 Bob, I had the B1 with Harbeth HL-3s some years ago. It was great, and I think you would be fine with this sub and speaker combination. That said, unless it is important for you to match wood grain finishes, I would not count out the newer RELs or... | |
| Arcam A19 impressions? I have had the A19 driving KEF LS50s for the last 5 months. Before that I had B&W 804D with $8k separates. Unfortunately I had to downsize my room. The LS50's were a no-brainer, and then for amplification I was looking for something good but a... | |
| solid state integrateds that will hold their value Good choice with the Rowland - as you probably noticed since you mentioned it, they hold their value. I bought a version 'I' back in 1999 for $3k, sold it for $3k a couple years later, and they still get about the same now. Other contenders are Pl... | |
| 'Best' Rachmaninoff 3rd Thanks to all, appreciate the suggestions. Time to go shopping... | |
| Tannoy Kensington SE vs Magnepan 20.7 Slynn3r, 6 months later, how did you like the Tannoy's? | |
| More power needed for my KEF LS50s? The Tritons are big speakers (more drivers, more volume). They probably produce more 'air.' If you tried a large efficient speaker like those from Zu or Tannoy you'd probably notice the same thing. The KEFs are small monitors that do not have huge... | |
| Shrinking my system I just did this myself. Went to KEF LS50s, a REL 218 and an Arcam integrated - great system for 4k. Agree with Johnnyb53, obviously, and although I have not heard it, I think his B&W recommendation would even be a bit better perhaps. I had the... |
