| Pure Class A shootout Clayton Audio makes the best class A amps (or any other type) I have ever heard. I've owned two of their models, S-2000 and M-200. | |
| New Green Mountain Rios - has anyone heard them? Like Kory above, I also sell 'em so I obviously like the way they sound and I even like the looks (I guess there's no accounting for taste). Regarding the web site, I have'nt found many audio manufacturers sites that are more thorough and informat... | |
| Blue Circle amplifiers We used a Katlas in my room at the recent Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. Disclosure: I sell Blue Circle gear, Departure Audio. There is a "house sound" with Blue Circle. All their gear sounds coherent, musical, smooth yet highly resolving. As in the p... | |
| Tight accurate midfield monitor pair suggestions The new Green Mountain Rio's are in your price range ($2500). Very accurate and musical sounding, time and phase coherent too. Some early sales have been into the pro/studio market. Disclosure: I sell 'em, Departure Audio. | |
| Searching for passive subwoofer... Green Mountain Audio's Hammer Lite is an exceptional performing passive sub. Disclosure: I sell 'em, Departure Audio. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? FYI for Ohm lovers, the final version of the Blue Circle Audio Penny speakers is complete. This is the only speaker, to my knowledge, that marries Ohm drivers with conventional bass drivers for improved bass response. The Pennys will be at the Roc... | |
| Which cable has most impact - IC, Spkr., power? My last thought on this because it probably is one of those questions where there really is no definitive "answer." Shadorne's post makes a lot of sense to me and I have long been aware of all the pitfalls he cites and how they can impact on a cab... | |
| Which cable has most impact - IC, Spkr., power? As the thread originator.....I'm still searching for an answer. My brain tells me it should be IC's connected to source components. The old theory that if you don't get the information at the beginning of the chain, everything downstream suffers. ... | |
| Tube Amp for Green Mountain Audio Callisto Blue Circle gear has great synergy with GMA speakers. Disclosure: I am a Blue Circle and GMA retailer, Departure Audio. The DAR and FtTH ate hybrid integrated amps in the Blue Circle line. The new GDC integrated, while not a tube piece, is a terri... | |
| Anyone heard Blue Circle Penny's? I heard them extensively at the RMAF last October. The final version has been tweaked after testing at the Canadian research facility and will be coming out soon. The next show opportunity to hear them will be at the AK fest in May (production ver... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Of course I'm biased, but the Blue Circle gear is exceptional, and a great value given how it's made and how it performs. There's a brand new 150 watt integrated coming out, my guess is it would drive any Ohm speaker beautifully.I'm actually an om... | |
| Tired of Problems with Tube Equipment Amen. I have also become somewhat anti-tube. Have owned a lot of tube gear. Negatives: They make a lot of heat, they start deteriorating the minute they're installed, they can be expensive to replace and it's a hassle.The best solid state gear is ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Wow, what a long and enduring thread. Can't say I've read it all but I thought I'd add a wrinkle. In case you don't know and may be interested, Blue Circle Audio has introduced a new speaker based on the latest Ohm driver. It's called Penny. You c... | |
| Are Harbeth S HL5's As Good As Reviewers Claim? Jeffmohd: Other than brief exposure at the last RMAF show, I have not heard the 40.1's.I'm not trying to badmouth Harbeth. I think they are well engineered speakers and it looks like they're pretty successful. Many will find sonic nirvana with the... | |
| Are Harbeth S HL5's As Good As Reviewers Claim? I owned the 40's for a few years. Good, but there is a pervasive warmth with these speakers that borders on "muffled" sounding. Most of the British speakers share this characteristic, including some Spendor's I owned years ago. Vandersteens also s... |
