The Best Midrange in the World Right Now
One analogy which comes to mind is that the audiophile neurosis of chasing what may seem to be "transparency" is equivalent to turning up the sharpness on a television set.Video experts will tell you that what at first seems to be additional clari... 
The Best Midrange in the World Right Now
DodgealumAt least to my ears, the entire industry has increasinly reversed the priorities you mention.This is why most most systems sound bad and we continue our neurotic quest.Nice post.

Making High End Clones at Home for Fun and Savings
This thread was in part inspired by an Agon friend who sent me the link for the OEM of the Red Rose speakers in China.We were both delighted to see that these speakers, exactly as they seemed to appear in Mr Levinson's showroom, were available for...

dedicated 70's rock system
Zaikesman's got it right, as usual.However, you could also substitute a Marantz receiver and/or any Infinity speakers with the EMIT tweeters.Despite the historically correct vintage of the Sansui, the blue lights on the Marantz receivers - and in ... 
How Much Push/Pull Tube Power for Maggies
