My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
WC, I wish the best of care for you.  Do you really want the most powerful amp if another reasonably powerful amp has more clarity or even the tonal flavor you want?  Your advisors are steering you into false arbitrary directions based on the prof...

FLASH ALERT.Search Merrill Element in the forum, click on the 1st entry, Merrill Audio on tour 8/20/18. On 8/24/18 there is a post by Merrill himself, announcing that the Element 114 will be released about the end of the year. It will be a stereo ... 
Comparative Thoughts - Merrill Audio Element 116 vs Veritas Class D Monoblock Amplifiiers
Thank you, Dr. Bump, for your excellent assessment.  As a violinist, I lean towards the mid/HF spectrum, which also includes the brilliant percussion of triangles, chimes, bells, cymbals, wood blocks, etc.  I am a little confused when you describe...

WC,It is natural for you to seek to get all you can from the Neo because of the huge investment.  I try to do the same in my medical practice to help wherever I can, against many handicaps.  Just realize some basic laws of physics that should give...

WC,Many good points in favor of the Neo compared to Wilson and Magico.  The fact that vocals and instruments linger longer with the Neo means that low level sounds are better revealed with the Neo as the sound decays from higher volume to silence....

mrdecibel,No inappropriate behavior intended in the BR. I like practicing in the BR because of the mirror and natural enhancement of the sound. The reverb doesn’t kill the sound because my ear is close to the violin. Untrained singers like to sing...

RIAA and tjassoc,I just joined the orchestra, so I have to be on my best behavior.  A season pass is $40 for single, $65 for a couple, for participating chorus members.  For the listeners, it is free, but contributions are welcome.  For the singer...

tjassoc,Also, the singers rehearse with piano early at just after 3.  This is an opportunity to hear them at close range.  I am amazed at their power as well as musicality.  Trained classical singers don't need microphones.  The audience sits way ...

tjassoc, I am looking forward to meeting you.  Get there earlier, a little after 3 when we set up.  You can sit with me in the violin section for at least a little while, but the orchestra may be squeezed tight so it may not be possible to seat yo...

dracule1 and dasign,I never owned any Apogee speaker, but heard them enough at dealers to reject them without further consideration because of their dull sound.  The major factor in any panel dipole speaker is sufficient distance to the front wall...

cleeds,Of course, you are technically correct that all freq diminish with distance, and my choice of word, "evaporate" is mistaken. However, HF have shorter wavelengths, so air absorption of HF is more pronounced than at other freq. because more w...

grey9hound,You still don't know what you are missing, due to lack of close listening experience.  A child with better hearing than me is entitled to say that my perceptions are flawed, and would be correct to say that I am wrong because I don't kn...

WC,For your priorities of dynamics plus good purity, I think the Neo is the best speaker for you.  As a hybrid, it gives you everything you want.  For those who want the ultimate in clarity and are willing to sacrifice some  bass and overall dynam...

grey9hound, we addressed this subject before.  I explained my perspective of close up listening.  You may never have had this experience, or you just happen to prefer laid back sound, like some people who like pasta soggy rather than al dente.  Al...

dracule1,OK, I respect your observations of the Wisdom Audio Adrenaline.  I don't know that model, but a few years ago I heard the Sage series.  However, my impressions of all Apogee ribbon models I heard is that they were excessively smooth, kind...
