| Replacing Vintage Spendors is not as easy as I thought I would suggest that what you believe to be fatiguing treble is actually much more accurate treble but a treble of which you are not accustomed. An additional thought is that the newer speakers are much more revealing of the electronics than your ... | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon Huy,Thank you for posting this. I have never owned Harbeths so have never heard them in my rooms, but I found the models which I have heard all shared this same "pleasantness". So based on my experience these speakers are not natural nor are they ... | |
| Stereophile Profiles Carpets and Curtains again .... Never been a fan of Stereophile. I doubt a makeover is possible as the problem is in the how they (and others) collect revenue. | |
| Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II I am with ebm, I think the Rockports are better. | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon petek,I have extensive experience with the 0/96s and SETs. Recently we built an Atma-sphere M-60 kit and replaced the SET amps we had with the Atma-sphere and the improvements were astounding. I am convinced that all higher impedance speakers woul... | |
| What was your favorite speaker at Axpona 2019 Maybe the Rockports driven by CH Precision. I thought the Martens with Zesto equipment sounded very good at a reasonable cost. I thought many rooms were far too loud. | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon While some products are greater than the sum of their parts, Harbeth to me sounds exactly like the sum of its parts. When you look at a Harbeth, you should instantly know much of how their speakers will sound. Intrinsic problems will be the cabine... | |
| MBL 101 (~1990) - amp suggestions. MBL makes amps that are on the warm side and I would think would be a very good match for these speakers. These can be had used at reasonable prices. You need lots of power! | |
| Klipsch Heresy II Special Ed VS. Vandersteen 2c Yes of course. | |
| Klipsch Heresy II Special Ed VS. Vandersteen 2c Well if you like the Vardersteens you may not like the Heresy. I couldnt live with this or any other Klipsch speaker without major changes and even then I find them wanting in every category but dynamics. The Vandersteen is a wonderful speaker for... | |
| Recommendatios? There are a number of good sources for acoustic information. "The Master Handbook of Acoustics" is a great book, but much of the information isnt applicable to the 2 channel room. I have found GIK Acoustics to offer good advice and they have some ... | |
| Recommendatios? Isnt the Dsi200 a class D (switching) integrated amp? The only time I could stand to listen to the older Wilson was with tubes. If you have one of the older Wilson tweeters I wish you luck with the high end. My initial thought is to spend more tim... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Before buying speakers you need to really think about what single aspect is most important to you and limit your search. Before doing anything you should do at least some rudimentary treatments to your room and also be aware of what room modes are... | |
| Zu Druid 6 As others have said all speakers have problems, I just pointed out that the older Zus have a number of significant problems that the newer Zus, have in part, addressed. The biggest example were the cabinets and how they were far too lossy. These c... | |
| Zu Druid 6 I heard the Wavac amps that used some of these transmitter tubes but cant remember how they sounded. Perhaps I was in shock over the price. |
