| Speakers that disappear I've listened to most of the speakers that is on your list: Revel Ultima's, MBL 101's, the entire Rockport line, Kharma Exquisite Midi/Reference/Grand Exquisite. They were all in different rooms, different electronics, etc.I agree with above poste... | |
| Most NEUTRAL class A mono's Gryphon Mirage and Colosseum amps. The Antileon Signature Mono's are also quite good, in a different league vs the stereo. | |
| Rockport Mira VS Verity Parsifal Ovation Windowsx - I don't think you can go wrong with the Rockports (nor the Verity's to be honest). What's the scoop on the Mira II's? They had updated the Mira Grand II's to use the carbon midrange units instead of the older ones. I'm guessing the Mira... | |
| Rockport Mira VS Verity Parsifal Ovation 11flat6 - yes you're exactly right. It's quite open. It opens up to my study and dining room. The shape is a bit odd. I do not have a choice of a separate music room.Ever have any experience with this type of setups? Probably not very ideal right? | |
| Rockport Mira VS Verity Parsifal Ovation RTN1 - very nice Avalon's you got there. I had seriously considered the Avalon's as well. I demo'd the Time and the ISIS both for a long time. Unfortunately the demo room was not setup quite right and it didn't reach anywhere near its potential be... | |
| Linn Klimax DS. How good is it? Let's start a topic - ETHERNET vs AESPros/cons? Are packets streamed via TCP/IP better or worse than AES? If you transfer music via ethernet, will the "bits" arrive at the DAC fully intact with no deterioration? If so, then theoretically it should... | |
| Rockport Mira VS Verity Parsifal Ovation Glai - agree that the bass has a lot to do with the room and placement. Did you get a chance to demo the Aquila in your room? I'd be curious to know whether indeed the side firing woofers would be a problem in a narrow room. I would think Andy Pay... | |
| What amp $1000 for Rockport Tech Mira Mon? Yeah I second Jfz's suggestion to call Andy, but be prepared to be convinced to pay up. :) He will tell you to use the best of course. I called him and was originally going to use my existing Mark Levinson equipment but now I'm about to plunk down... | |
| Rockport Mira VS Verity Parsifal Ovation Madfloyd, I've never heard anyone say Rockports are tipped in the high end and very very bright. Not sure what kind of conditions you heard them in but I think if room acoustics were even 50% ideal they wouldn't sound like that.I have heard the Pa... | |
| Rockport Mira VS Verity Parsifal Ovation If you have the budget and can stretch a bit, I vote for the Rockport Ankaas. They are absolutely the best bang for the buck in Rockport's line. It's extremely extended and integrated in the bass/midrange, throws a massive soundstage (if room acou... | |
| New Pass Amps? Must be some crazy class A amps to draw that much current!Goes to show one of the most famous amp designers still prefer class A. | |
| Gryphon Antileon Signature technical problems This is a little off topic, but..If you have the dough, try and stretch for the Gryphon Colosseum! I have done A/B testing using the Mirage/Antileon Sig and Mirage/Colosseum. First off, both are great, I could live with either. The Colosseum throw... | |
| SHOW attendees: please post speaker reports here Anyone listened to the Rockport Alya's? | |
| new Magico speakers the Q5 So how did these speakers sound at CES? There has been no writeups yet on these post-CES. | |
| Kharma ceramic blow up Wow I feel like I opened up a can of worms here.I don't like inferring things, but is this a property of most ceramic drivers, or is it the enginnering behind the speaker? I guess I can't rule out upstream either like Jtinn said. I went to another... |
