| Speaker disappearing act? "Have you ever listened to a pair of speakers that are drop dead amazing, but when you open your eyes they may not be the purest "disappearing" act you thought? Does that matter?"-Warrenh"Everything in life is a compromise and when there is someth... | |
| What speaker to buy to start over. I've owned the Intuitive Design Summit loudspeakers for over a year and my initial exuberant, giddy enthusiasm for them and their magical performance has not waned during that time. | |
| Anyone has heard the Paradigm S8 and can comment ? I listened to them in our home side by side with the Studio 100 V3s we owned at the time. They were an integral improvement over the 100s, with more detail and high end smoothness. Their bass extension was also better. The soundstaging capabilitie... | |
| Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker Now that over a year has passed since posting the original review, my initial enthusiasm for these speakers might be expected to have waned. It hasn’t. Although these speakers are not perfect, they are phenomenal. I’ve had extensive private email ... | |
| Mainstream reviews-why so few? Personal opinion:Whether or not something's been reviewed in the audiophile press is considerably less important than my own impressions at the time of listening. That's the ultimate test. If it sounds good and it seems to represent a good value, ... | |

| First round of auditions disappointing Seadweller,I remember occasionally being irked and not finding the holy grail (for me only, others may disagree) for a long time. The old, three box version of the Audio Physic Caldera sounded phenomenal, and retailed for 20K. I couldn't afford th... | |
| Massive entertainment center replacement ideas? "Here's a thought Bill... remove Gladys and see what happens to your sound. If you like the change, then pursue a new less obtrusive rack, if no change keep her. No guess work. Make sense?"MijknarfMijknarf,Yes, it makes perfect sense, except for t... | |

| Need help with sub selection The Rel Storm 3 that I own has been set up quite meticulously, and the crossover is set at 27 hertz. It integrates quite seamlessly with the mains, which run at full range. It augments the lowest of the low frequencies but apparently does not take... | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks Have you tried Dakiom Feedback Stabilizers? | |
| Beginner/ Starter cables Audioparts Inc. by Stu Wein makes fine products which offer great value, in my opinion. The Mas Hybrid speaker cables have been great in my system, and I posted a short review a while back. | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. Speakers. | |
| Speaker match with Pass Labs XA-160 There's a review of the Audio Physic Caldera by Grant Samuelsen in Stereo Times:Grant Samuelsen 13 February 2002You'd need to go to www.stereotimes.com and search in the Archives under Audio Physic Caldera. Grant contributed to another thread abou... | |
| Speaker match with Pass Labs XA-160 If you want to stick with Audio Physic, then the old, 3 box Caldera is phenomenal. Not quite truly full range, but close, and with a Storm 3 (which is also what I have) you won't care. I heard these only once but they left a lasting auditory impre... |
