| Seeking $15,000.00 speaker to replace Quad 988's At the risk of being totally predictable, I think you'd find a pair of full-sized Sound Labs to be a worthwhile upgrade over the Quads. And as a former Thor dealer, I'm quite confident your big Thor amps could drive 'em. Several of my customers ar... | |
| Unusual Room Shape - Placement and Soundlab ? Despite your valiant effort, I'm still not quite able to figure out your room.Do you have to listen through the 10-foot opening between the bookshelves?Sound Labs would probably work as well as anything else, provided you can locate 'em out into t... | |
| Wolcott Hi Ray,Hank has technicians who can build and service the amps, though I think he's pretty much the R&D department. Many companies survive the retirement of their founder. Also, I have a technician here in New Orleans who can service Wolcott a... | |
| What amp & preamp to go with JM Lab ? I would suggest a push-pull tube amp for the Electras; there are plenty of models out there that should work well. | |
| Nightmare I think there's an excellent chance your Martin Logans will work at least as well as anything else; I'd say give 'em a fair chance before succumbing to "new speaker fever". Put 'em right up against the side walls, treat the area along the sidewall... | |
| speaker cable for Sound Lab M-1 I'm aware of Sound Lab owners using speaker cables from (in alphabetical order) Analysis Plus, Audience, Goertz Kimber, Magnan, Nordost, Purist Audio, Tara Labs, and TG Audio. I'm sure there are others. I sell some of these. The Sound Labs are a v... | |
| getting more bass out of meadowlarks To increase the bass, one would normally move the speakers closer to the room boundaries - in this case, closer to the corners. You might want to remove the pillows from the corners, as they may well be absorbing a fair amount of bass energy. Now ... | |
| Best Small Speakers Get out your grains of salt and/or hip waders - dealer plugging his wares here. You might consider the Omega Super 3R, which uses a modified Fostex full-range driver in an exceptionally inert reflex enclosure. This speaker is fairly high in effici... | |
| MG 20.1 or Wisdom audio m-75 Hello Shaman,Cool moniker.I agree wholeheartedly with Tpsonic and Jbm on the importance of using the same amp for top and bottom when biamping the Wisdoms. The same thing goes for the big Maggies - don't try to mix 'n' match amplifiers. I've only ... | |
| SoundLab A-1 vs Martin Logan CLS IIz's Hi Harry,Sound Lab A-1's are, in my opinion, among the few speakers that are worthy successors to the excellent Martin Logan CLS's. Of course the fact that I'm a Sound Lab dealer does not in any way cloud or bias my opinion.... ;-]For some movies,... | |
| Is this rude? My suggestion would be to call the store and tell them what you just told us - what your price range is, and what you're looking for (the best speakers in that price range, with particular interest in used Josephs or JM Labs or Sonus Fabers). Ask ... | |
| Matching an amp to speakers for beginners? Hi Petequad,Thanks for taking the time to play twenty questions! Okay, it looks to me like your highest loudspeaker priorities are (more or less in order): Clarity and nuance; presentation reminiscent of a good jazz club; freedom from boxiness &am... | |
| Classe DR-25 worth buying? I have a DR-3, which I think is a predecessor of the DR-25. The amp has excellent clarity and liveliness. To find is sonic competition, among amplifiers I'm familiar with I'd have to step into at least the four grand retail ballpark (and maybe mor... | |
| Matching an amp to speakers for beginners? Hello Petequad,My suggestion would be that you make your speaker selection first, as that's the most important choice, and will dictate the direction of your amplifier choice. Once you've chosen speakers, you'll know how much power you need, and w... | |
