| Opinions - Best Sound at T.H.E. Newport 2013 Show? I think David (dc10audio) did O.K. considering he had a quacky CD player no DAC, poor room placement, and cheap power strip.. he did have good S.E.T mono blocks from LAMM industries though I would have wanted a little extra power for the size of t... | |
| Polk Audio low priced Chinese goods are not for everybody. | |
| Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k? This is why a loudspeaker MUST be relieving, accurate, and nimble the passive transducer needs to do what she is told..and the electronics tell her what she'll sound like this is loudspeaker 101!!! The transducer is to deliver all the music withou... | |
| Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k? I work for a small high-end loudspeaker company and I'll tell you that everything is so expensive and really makes one understand why Chinese manufacturing is so popular. First; What should be an 80-250 dollar euro driver which is a magnet frame, ... | |
| Opinions - Best Sound at T.H.E. Newport 2013 Show? The Magico room was proof of how important system synergy is they basically did it all wrong yet all of the components could sound really good if re-configured I have got to believe the Q-7 is able to produce great sound..otherwise what is the point. | |
| What's with 4 ohm speakers? Point: Just because a loudspeaker says 4 ohms on it's back panel does not mean it's actually 4 ohms..Perhaps it's 5 or 6 ohms or 2.5 ohms?? Or an 8 ohms loudspeaker is actually 6 ohms simply stating that 4 ohms is hard to drive is not the answer a... | |
| Focal 1038be or Revel Ultima Salon 2? If you are using 100K tube mono's you would not waste your time with the Salon2 speaker: plastic caps, plastic wires, and magnesium /metal cones. If you are looking for the fine nuance of vocal and string reproduction and passages in classical tha... | |
| just auditioned tannoy yorkminster I also just heard them at a dealer in Denver and was totally unimpressed! The sound was laid back and not open and had a sort of smeared bass, piano was poor (cluncky) vocals had good tone but wanted them to pop out a bit but never did! To be fair... | |
| Focal 1038be or Revel Ultima Salon 2? Serious?Metal cones sound like a good fit with your Mc 275 tubes? Incorrect in two ways: multi driver loudspeakers are typically more difficult to drive especially for a tube amplifier such as yours and secondly the warm un-fractured sound that yo... | |
| Focal 1038be or Revel Ultima Salon 2? yes, and pure reference signal in does not mean pure reference signal out. I think the salon 2 sounds good I'm just not a proponent of all metal drivers! | |
| Focal 1038be or Revel Ultima Salon 2? No, I'm not joking surly you know that different materials produce different sound... If you are thinking that paper is somehow a cheaper alternative remember one driver alone can cost 25,000 dollars and features a paper cone. A good example of th... | |
| Focal 1038be or Revel Ultima Salon 2? The salon 2 is Not the best sounding speaker ever made though it is a nimble performer with lots of power to feed it.. it's a rock and roller, sounds a bit metallic as all its diaphragms are mostly metal..For a big bad rock speaker they're great! ... | |
| More speakers for sale than other componenet. Y? The chain of events in my opinion are: *The quality of the recording/quality of the music (Yes, a lot of the rock we love sucks in terms of recording quality) *The play back source! source! source! source! No Pandora!*The amplification (I hate to ... | |
| Why not horns? Horns are natures amplifier. A horn loudspeaker done right is hard to beat on many levels some of there attributes being: better dispersion than non-horns, 5dB increase in bass, can be used to increase a driver set efficiency, look cool. | |
| Franco Serblin RIP He was first to made the loudspeaker a work of art and they sounded as good as they looked! You'll be remembered. |
