| New Product......Intelligent Box I'm not saying the product is good....I haven't tried it. How could anyone who hasn't tried it know for sure? Such as you. If its no good it won't last, the market will take care of things.I'm not saying it's good either. I'm speculating based upo... | |
| Subwoofer integration with Silverline Sonata MK111 I have a pair of Sonatinas that I use an ACI Force XL sub with. Integration in my room was a bit tricky. I'd highly recommend using an SPL meter and a test tone sampler disc to aid you in the process. Obviously the different speakers, different ro... | |
| New Product......Intelligent Box Damn, Albert, I think you've come up with my new slogan! Just funnin' you HiFiGuy. Indeed my open mind does not extend to embrace some products and services, including the one you've pointed out here. I've got another opening where those kinds of ... | |
| New Product......Intelligent Box You all are just closed minded!!I've got a Perch™ with your name on it engraved with a brushed billet plaque with a blue LED indicator light that illuminates when the quantum material has reached critical mass. I saw you coming and knew you had t... | |
| High Efficiency Speakers 4 PC You probably won't need as high a sensitivity as you might think from a pair of monitors that you will be listening to in the nearfield. I have a pair of Soliloquy Sat-5 mini-monitors downstairs from my listening room in my kitchen. I was surprise... | |
| Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently I'd concur that integrating a good sub effectively with a pair of speakers definitely improves upon soundstaging abilities of the mains in my experience. These improvements have been in the 3-dimensional depth and width of soundstage, and in pinpo... | |
| Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently Despite the fevered claims of some tubaholics, there is a definite advantage to be had by using tubes above 50 Hz and solid stste below that point. This certainly works well for me (presently) and has worked well in the past as well. I'm currently... | |
| New Product......Intelligent Box I'll be offering an "Intelligent Perch" coming up real soon. The "Intelligent Perch" takes advantage of the same quantum material that Kait uses for his Intelligent Box to enhance your listening experience from the inside out. Look for it at your ... | |
| 400W amp under $2000 BelCanto Ref1000's are 500W into 8ohms. You can find them on the used market for just above the $2k mark. They worked superbly well in my system, and I heard them in several of the systems at RMAF doing the same. YMMV. There are other class D amps... | |
| Best Small budget speakers for girlfriend I'll add a tic to the Spica TC50 votes, and will add to your list the Era Design 4's (great sounding little speakers), and Silverline SR11's. You didn't mention a budget. The Spica's would be the least expensive options, but OTOH have no replaceme... | |
| Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently If you scroll down the page on the Classic Audio Reproductions Contemporary Line page, you will see the T5. These look like traditional box speakers, yet they are 94dB and 16 ohms. I don't believe the T5 use a horn, although the T3 do...and they d... | |
| Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently FWIW, Classic Audio Reproductions loudspeakers utilize TAD/Pioneer drivers.I didn't know that, but they sounded quite good with Ralph's amps at RMAF. I didn't go there because of Springbok10's comment about his wife's distaste for the appearance o... | |
| Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently One of the best rooms at RMAF to my ears was quite large and was filled effortlessly by the TAD/Pioneer speakers. They sounded superb and were one of the few rooms there that had me wanting to go back to listen to more. I believe they demand some ... | |
| SET friendly speakers w/ slam? Research these:Classic Audio Reproductions. I do know they have a very tube friendly impedance curve, and they are very sensitive (over 100dB).I think those are the horns Ralph shared the room with at RMAF... If so, very impressive large-scale, hu... |
