| Whats more important? Speaker or the Amp I have to disagree with some of you here. If you have a great speaker, there is no way it will sound all that great if it exposes a poor amplifierDitto. Out of nowhere, the age-old insistence upon amplifier/speaker synergy has transformed into the... | |
| A mistake spending too much on amplification? Chiho, As Newbee suggested, you might want to say more about what exactly it is that you're after. Between your other thread and this one, there appear to be two conversations running toward the theoretical realm without any specified goal to gui... | |
| A mistake spending too much on amplification? It is certainly a strongly held opinion by many but is not and, in my opinion, cannot be proven as "fact". I've been in this hobby a very long time and experience tells me that quality components are much more alike than different.I must be missin... | |
| A mistake spending too much on amplification? None of the amplifiers you listed are beyond the capabilities of the two speakers you have. If you upgraded the speakers, you will begin to greater variations between the amplifiers. The fact is there are significant variations from one component ... | |
| First round of auditions disappointing I understand that the Linkwitz Orions are excellent speakers. However, don't they require 6 channels of amplification? And can they be had within his budget? | |
| SCHEMATIC FOR QUICKSILVER MS 190 Call Mike Sanders at Quicksilver. | |
| First round of auditions disappointing My only fear is that a "vintage" horn system (even though it's offered as a current model) might not provide sufficient detailInsufficient detail was never an issue in our system, in which we had modified 1977 La Scalas. Keep in mind that the spea... | |
| First round of auditions disappointing That's why I mentioned Green Mountain Audio. They do not sound like a box speaker, instead conveying the crack of energized music. A used pair of Continuum 3s would be in your budget range.Zu Definitions would also meet your requirements, but I do... | |
| Canadian Musicians If you want to hear some kick-butt, groovin' jazz, check out the Montreal group Les Projectionnistes The Wainwrights are personal favorites. Martha's voice is spine chilling.And how about them Barenaked Ladies? :-) | |
| First round of auditions disappointing Thanks for the info, Seadweller.I don't know how the upper end Totems sound, but I sure have been impressed with the Forests and the Arros. And this coming from a horn fan who finds most box speakers to sound too sequestered with respect to convey... | |
| First round of auditions disappointing Seadweller (do you frequently sell on Timezone, by the way?),Specifically which amp, cables & CD player are you using? Sorry for all of the questions, but it will help to recommend speakers that will fit your stated requirements.Also, you migh... | |
| First round of auditions disappointing 10+ threads into this, I for one am unclear as to what you want. A Klipsch? A Merlin? A giant killer from Asia? A full-range speaker? Planar, box, horn???? CES will help narrow the field, but it does so under conditions that do not mirror those th... | |
| First round of auditions disappointing Looking at the range of speakers discussed in your threads suggests that you really need to get out and listen to MANY speakers in order to narrow the field a bit.Like most people, you will probably come away from CES with a sense that 2 or 3 sys... | |
| The proverbial "giant killer" The top of the Wilson line of speakers are giant killers (IMO)At over $100K, I'd have to classify them as giants. Although if they drink the blood of the $1 million Kharma's, then I suppose you have a point. | |
| UPS doesn't just damage and lose Hi-end gear And rightly so I was to be worried. No damage to the outside of the box, but the amplifier glass was shattered, and it won't power on. Thanks, UPS...you're the greatest! |
