| Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised I am a soundstage and imaging hound as people well know. That was surprisingly not an issue at my Forte III demo. Speakers were a few feet out from rear and side walls. Setup is everything with any speaker when it comes to that. I’ve even learned ... | |
| Focal Aria 936 / Elac Adante AF-61 / Von Schweikert VR-33 , impressions, thoughts? If your Triangles sound like mine (Titus) only bigger and better I’d think it over carefully before parting ways. I added a sub to mine rather than part with them because they do what they do very well and would be hard to replace. If you are head... | |
| Cannot find perfect sound Have you ever heard German Physiks speakers set up well? If not you should try. They kinda sound like how giant earbuds would in a room. | |
| Cannot find perfect sound Sound from earbuds tends to sound very coherent and time aligned becuase the driver emulates a point source within the ear. Whereas the geometry of how the sound from multiple driver speakers arrives finally at the ear varies greatly. Some speaker... | |
| Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised I’ve liked them very much in the two dealer auditions I’ve had. No obvious faults so far. You can really hear the differences in recordings which impresses me. This with just a very modest AV amp only even.They have a lot of competition at their p... | |
| Two Against Nature-What is your reference recording? No they all sound different from the exceptional to the more mundane to the highly flawed but almost all are listenable which means the sound reproduction is working well for a music lover like me. I even have a few old 78s from the 30s and 40s th... | |
| Two Against Nature-What is your reference recording? My whole collection is my reference recording. It all has to sound its best. | |
| What were your humble beginnings on the path to high end audio? Stvgray you know OHM is still there making "Walsh style" speakers inspired by those Fs. Smaller pair start at just over $1000 new. I have two pair currently. My larger pair use 12" Walsh style drivers mounted in refurbed OHM F cabinets. ... | |
| What is the weird "fisheye" pic on so many items? Perhaps the dumbest thing ever seen on a site where people pay to sell stuff. I would be fired if I ever came up with something that intentionally degraded the look of my web site like that. | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? People tolerate it so there you go. | |
| A song murdered by someone. larryi what’s wrong with "Africa" and "We Built This CIty?"As pop music goes those are actually both quite catchy obviously and also done quite well. BTW just saw Jefferson Starship at the state fair a couple weeks back and thoroughly enjoyed the... | |
| A song murdered by someone. Mick pretty much murders most everything these days but nothing new there. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? There are several volumes of a recently released multi (19?) CD box set of soundtrack music from the original Lost In Space tv series I’ve been streaming with spotify. It spans all three seasons but I have mostly been listening to the John William... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Ironically, if you perouse the start of this thread my recollection is the OP Rebbi discussed his Totem Arros prior to trying OHMs. |
