| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? Interesting discussion. Two things that have been somewhat alluded to but, I think, haven't gotten enough emphasis:1) State of mind/body. The degree to which music through an audio system speaks to you, pleasantly or unpleasantly, is largely depe... | |
| A new home for Chapman T77SE's I an an authorized, home based retailer for Chapman speakers, Departure Audio. Obviously, I'm a big fan. These very under-the-radar speakers offer a lot of musical satisfaction, and Stuart is a great guy. I use T-7's from 2011. I will be selling t... | |
| Small speaker suggestions Recently picked up some KEF LS50's. Awfully good. Pretty amazing for the size of the box. Lots of technology in these guys. | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... Haven't read this whole thread, but I did read the amp review. Fremer didn't like the sound. Atkinson measured and also didn't like the sound. This is their opinion, which they don't present as anything but. This is, after all, subjective reviewin... | |
| Why don't you like Mageplanar speakers? Have owned few maggies, including 20.1's. Love, love the sound. What I didn't like is:-huge, heavy power amp(s) needed to wake them up and get full performance out of them-poor low level sound-small sweet spot-room domination, they're big and need... | |
| Dallas Audio Club Located in west Plano area. Any active audio societies/clubs around? | |
| What is the best amplifier for Tannoy Kensington ? Despite their good efficiency ratings, Tannoy's respond well to higher powered, quality SS amps. I found bass response, openness and dynamics superior than with low/moderate powered tube jobs. This was with Canterbury's. | |
| Tannoy Prestige line: Westminister and down Disclsure: I retail Tannoy Prestige, Departure Audio. Couple of things:-They are not "audiophile"-They are about music, not sound-Lots of speakers will out spec them and tick more audiophile boxes. Few, if any, penetrate so deeply into the musical... | |
| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? The TAD 3 way stand mounts. Sounded great. Around 37K. If I was in that range, I'd take a serious listen. | |
| Yamaha A-S 1000 & 2000 --- How Good? I have the cds 1000 cd player. Use it as an SACD player and a transport for a DAC. Sounds great with SACD and very good on red book. It can be modded by VSE for ultimate performance. Great build quality, better than the Sony 5400. I don't hear the... | |
| Tannoy Canterberry Models What tends to differentiate the models in the prestige line is driver size, alnico magnets and the pepperpot waveguide, not to mention bigger, more elaborate cabinets. These features show up in the higher end models of the line. There's lots of in... | |
| Looking for opinions on Tannoy Prestige line. Good points from Dsholl1. On amplification, don't write off high quality solid state amps with these speakers. I use Herron and Blue Circle amps and the results are wonderful. I also find, despite their sensitivity ratings, Prestige speakers respo... | |
| Looking for opinions on Tannoy Prestige line. Disclosure: I retail Tannoy Prestige, Departure Audio.You put it best in your original post - "I'm a little burnt out on hifi." Tannoy's are a final stop. IMO, It's not really relevant to compare them with other speakers. Other speakers will measu... | |
| VPI Classic vs. Well Tempered Amadeus Drubin: William Firebaugh, the (some say genius) designer of the table says he has addressed the geometry issue and it's not a concern. There's a link to a white paper explaining his reasoning on the Well Tempered web site. If you can fully unders... | |
| VPI Classic vs. Well Tempered Amadeus Disclosure: I retail Well Tempered turntables, Departure Audio.I have never A/B'd them directly, but I owned a VPI Scout with JM memorial arm and now own a Well Tempered Amadeus. Both good tables, but sonically, no comparison. To my ears the Well ... |
