| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I know that I'm late into this post but I have to concur with LoveMan. The Beveridge 2 SWs are an almost miraculous speaker and if you haven't heard them you really owe it to yourself to do so. Quad 57s with tubes and Rogers LS35as with tubes if y... | |
| LSA speakers? Gregm:YOU WERE RIGHT, "LSA is a brand name used by "DK Designs" who is now LSA Group and LS3-5a is the code name of a '60s BBC spkr design for monitoring inside recording vans".LSA is in no way affiliated with any of the BBC licensed LS35as. I was... | |
| LSA speakers? Yes! Rogers LS35as are nearfield monitors and are commonly referred to as BBC monitors. They are characterized by the use of a bextrene KEF B110 midbass driver and T-27 tweeter which was later replaced by a celestion tweeter, if memory serves. Man... | |
| LSA speakers? Aktchi: I have not heard the above mentioned speakers so I really wouldn't be able to comment. My reference to LS35as is based on considerable time spent with the Rogers issue of this speaker. I realize that Harbeth manufacturers an LS35a, but aga... | |
| LSA speakers? The LSA 2s have excellent dynamics and a deep broad soundstage with good image localization, perhaps comparable to Von Schweikerts as they both use a similar tweeter configuration. The high end, from what appear to be less than exotic drivers, is ... | |

| Power cords with bass emphasis If you haven't yet purchased a power cord, you will find that the Eichman exPress power cord has what seems to be unlimited bass response. I have also used the Zu Bok which has an exceptionally clean and tight bass though a little thin. If you wer... | |
| Burned out hi fi salesman Here's some advice for Hi Fi Salesmen and Salesmen of All Things. Love to sell or do something else. Love what you sell or sell something else. If you love audio, you will be knowledgable and always learning. You will demo systems all day because ... | |
| Burned out hi fi salesman As a hi fi saleman of close to thirty years here's my take:Don't go into a stereo store and waste a saleman's time if, regardless of what you hear, you are not going to buy from him or her and then rationalize your guilt and your ethical obligatio... | |
| Cables /power conditioner- Order of importance Before even considering a line conditioner or any cable upgrade you should insure that your AC outlet is not on a switched circuit, the contact point of which is about the size of a pencil point (as it was described to me). Then purchase high qual... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? It's a great question and very poignant for audiophiles who in my estimation are motorheads (or gearheads depending on your decade). I drive a Green 2001 Subaru Legacy Outback LLBean Edition which I purchaed new.My second car which I purchased in ... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers Here Here Cdc!Speakers should have little if any character and a flat extended frequency response. Quality drivers and electronics will yield good resolution. There has been little development in the technology of speakers over the last 50 years o... | |
| Cables with Musical, Deep, Tight, Bass Response Thank you for your responses. Looking at some of the prices of the above, I really should mention price. I would go maybe 350 for speaker cables and maybe the same for interconnects, new or used. Keep in mind that these will be used for transmitti... | |
| DK Design VS- Reference vs Signature Oz, my post meant to read "when driven into hard clipping, which is hard to do, considering the outstanding dynamic capabilities of the amp, it (signature) exhibits the same solid state glare that we all know and love (I am being facetious of cour... |
