| Proac Tablette 10 I'm very interested in this as well. Not sure we're going to hear much more about this till after CES in January. | |
| Looking for integrated better than my Rogue Sphinx Can you please tell us which of 'the gear this is supposedly made in USA is assembled in USA using Asian made components'? | |
| Buying Without Audition I buy things that are like things I like. Harbeths are like Spendors and I like Spendors. So I've bought Harbeths unheard many times and never regretted it. I've gotten burned a few times buying speakers that are popular that I ended up hating. | |
| Best Monitor not over 1K, new ot used Run, do not walk, to peachtreeaudio.com and buy a pair of D5's. They were $999, discontinued now at $599. The single best buy in a monitor on the market today. They blow the silverlines away, I've owned both (and a boatload of other monitors a... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Wayne Picquet refurbed original Quad ESL's. I've had a pair about four years now. Either every other speaker is right and the original Quad is wrong or...... | |
| Magneplanar .7 speakers. Have you heard or own them?? I've owned maggies off and on for 30 years. I would say I'm a fan. I had the .7's for awhile. Here's the thing I can't get over with maggies... the lack of microdynamics. Sure, they play loud and sound good on some kinds of music. But I list... | |
| Maggie MMG versus Ls3/5a I've owned a lot of LS3/5a's and a lot of Magnepans, including MMG's. I'd take the LS3/5a any day over the MMG. But tell us more about the Stirling bass extenders - I've never heard a woofer that works well with the LS3/5a. | |
| Any reviews/impressionsons of Ascend Sierra 2? I had a pair, they are wonderful. Better than my LS50's. A bargain at the price. | |
| Is it just me or do others really miss A/D/S? Huge ADS fan as well. Closest thing I've found to modern ADS is Peachtree D5. Have a set and love them to death. | |
| PK's Refurbished Quads in SoCal Can't help but thought I'd mention I'm a very satisfied Wayne Picquet customer. He did an amazing job on my 57's. | |
| SPEAKER SUGGESTIONS Call Walter at Underwood Hi Fi and buy a pair of Peachtree D5's. They are $999 and just a perfect speaker for the price. I'm using an SA8004 in one of my systems - nice deck. | |
| Quad ESL 57 with subwoofer If you can find a Janis 1W that setup works great with Quads. It has an outboard box/crossover, so what goes to the power amp is limited to whatever the crossover is. Puts less strain on the panels - a very good thing. I've had this setup, it's th... | |
| Dahlquist DQ-20 Fan club Rant I would pay an obscene amount of money for a new pair of DQ-10's. Yeah, newer isn't better - I'm listening to Quad 57's. If you want a new speaker try Magnepans, or if you have money to burn some of the high-end Vandersteens. I think the new maggi... | |
| Has any one heard the Essence 1600 Electrostat? I'm very interested in these as well. The pictures are discouraging - the silver metal sides make them look like a $29 lamp from Home Depot. I hope that's just the photo's and they look better in real life. | |
| What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock? ADS 810's. Or 910's. Or 710's. |
