| Magnepan 1.6 hi doug:my comments about the tweeter came from bruce thigpen himself. if you lived near me, i would propose an experiment comparing the 8a and the 8b. i would bet that i would say the 8a is softer in the treble than the 8b .another problem with t... | |
| We have a Winner -- Major "MINI" monitors the problem with the word transparency is that it has nothing to do with timbre it is an artifact of sound, somewhat like focus.did anyone attend a concert of un amplified music and use the word transparent to describe the presentation ?it is a wo... | |
| We have a Winner -- Major "MINI" monitors i gather someone likes these speakers. no doubt there is a good reason for the praise. i may get to hear them myself.it is a stretch to say they are the best speakers, period.it is always a matter of taste and i wonder if there is anything to be a... | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all brizonbovizier is fortunate he lives in england. otherwise i would be ready to submit to a blind test, with two pair of cables of my choice and a stereo system of my choice, to prove him wrong about cable differences.however, is perception reality... | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all hi brizonbiovizier:i would like to propose an experiment. unfortunately you and i are thousands of miles apart.i would like to demonstrate that i can discern differences between two cables. remember, all it takes is one double blind test to dispro... | |
| Magnepan 1.6 the problem with magnepan's is definitely not the amplifier used to drive it. the speaker has problems regardless of what amplifier you use. its bass response is lacking and it has too much treble energy. if you use a powerful amplifier, you might... | |
| panel speaker purchase i'm a straight shooter. very often i write the review and then buy the component. many times i buy a component with the understanding that i won't write a review.if you read my reviews you will notice that many of the components i have reviewed, i... | |
| Recommend a forward speaker hi onhwy61:you raise a basic question as to the purpose of a stereo system. should a stereo system be as linear as possible or should it reflect the taste of the owner and change the sound of the recording to suits one's preference ?which type of ... | |
| panel speaker purchase one of the reasons i am lookin for another speaker is the treble response of the 1.6. the 3.6 ribbon tweeter is more revealing than the quasi ribbon tweeter of the 1.6 .i have heard the 3.6 speaker at dealer's and at ces.i have heard it driven wit... | |
| panel speaker purchase gentlemen:i have two panel speakers on my short list:the analaysis audio epsilon and the podium from england. i am going to ces next month and will listen to both of them. i am not thrilled with the price of the analysis audio speakers, namely 132... | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. hi muralman1:i infer from your post that you disagree strongly with my opinion. it is my contention that most current production components are not very good. if two stereo systems are assembled in the same room, namely the one i previously mentio... | |
| Conrad Johnson vs. McIntosh Tube Gear i reviewed the mc 200 preamp and i own the mc 275. there is no lushness with modern mac gear. call the company and speak to a technician. as for cj, while i have not auditioned a current amp, i did audition one of the preamps about two years ago,.... | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all by the way, i returned the anjou pear interconnect to the manufacturer. | |
| Does your system sound better or worse? it sounds the same but i may appreciate more or less than when i am sober. | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. hi shadorne:back in 1967 my stereo system consisted of 2 pair of stacked quads, 4 mono quad tube amps, a mac c22 a thorens turn table and ortofon cartridge. the total cost of the stereo system was less than $3000. i dare say i have not heard a ste... |
