| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt's getting some cool gear in soon...I have a feeling things will pick up quickly after that. Looks like I'll be getting my The Memory Player with DAC in next week or so. Can't wait. I'll be selling the Ayre QX5 most probably, but it's such ... | |
| Pairing Planar Speakers With A Subwoofer (Eminent Technology) no link yet Mitch. They are brand new and only being shown at the shows right now. Dealers will get theirs in a few weeks I believe. I know about the EQ, but am not totally sure of what else they will have. I believe the cabinets will look sim... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature Speakers No surprise that you liked Maggies and Vandersteen's since both sound like point source speakers and have some other similarities in sound quality. I have many friends who own both, but they are still very different tonality wise I feel. Great ad... | |
| Loudspeaker for second system Doug, I have heard their line for years now. Like many other lines out there, you don't always get better quality by moving up. Often times they have a totally different design as you go up and it's not always better. Often times budget compani... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature Speakers Teh headphone and IEM world is all about getting multiple top can's/CIEM's for different music. I just shake my head. Everyone is so concerned about matching cables to 'tune' their system. Again, just get a great cable that is natural (this is ... | |
| Pairing Planar Speakers With A Subwoofer (Eminent Technology) wow.....Ok, this just in. Not a fanboy of listening at a show for MANY reason's that are obvious. IF something sounds GREAT at a show it still may not sound great at home. Think of TV's in teh store that are all set to the brightest settings to... | |
| Proac Response D30 DS I had been a Proac owner (many of them in the 90's until about 8 years ago. When I heard the VAndesteen's for similar prices, it was a no brainer for ME, but the Proac's are all great speakers. Get in touch with Rutan. It's a free no brainer to... | |
| New Speakers up to $15k - The more I read the less I know! John will take GREAT care of you. Yes, he can let you audition a varying array of speakers. As Bob said I do own teh Quatro CT's and sold him my Treo's, but as he will tell you, I made him listen to them in my system first, lol....There are a ton... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature Speakers Thanks Tom. Set up is critical for all speakers, but often times even a dealer isn't set up properly as they move things around so much. Once set, you can forget it and ENJOY great speakers that will play anything well. ;) | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Signature Speakers The idea that a speaker plays jazz and rock well, but not classical is crazy. The requirements for a loudspeaker for all music is the same: "play it as accurately as possible with as little damage as possible for the money". You may be expecting... | |
| Loudspeaker for second system Be careful with Elac. They need very good electronics to sound good. They can be a good value, but personally, many of their models aren't 'great value' speakers as everyone says they are. They can be very bright and fatiguing. Now days many ... | |
| Pairing Planar Speakers With A Subwoofer (Eminent Technology) I love those speakers. Have had them in my home a few different times over the last MANY MANY years, lol. The brand new Vandersteen Sub 3' system would work great. I know they are very very fast subs (I own Quatro's and know how fast they are). ... | |
| Good Speaker within a budget of USD10,000 So many choices under 10k. You really need to ask yourself a lot of questions. How much is total budget? Room size as many have put out there? Type of music you listen to and how loudly yo listen? How many will listen at the same time? Do yo... | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? Well, it looks like I'll be selling the QX5. I still love it and may keep it just for the great headphone amp as I listen a bit to some very high end IEM's and also a top ZMF can. The Memory Player should be here in a week or so and I had the DA... | |
| DIY High pass filters for Vandersteen Model 5A Carbon's? OP, if I was you, I would immediately get in touch with Richard Vandersteen himself. You can call Vandersteen and ask to speak with him if he doesn't answer. Tell him your story, age and that you want to learn. I can PROMISE you that he will hel... |
