| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? I have to agree with Zkzpb8. Overall I thought the sound at the show was pretty bad. I can only think of one or two rooms where I was really enjoying what was going on and the Vandy room by Audio Connection was, IMHO, clearly the best. Most of wha... | |
| Everyone Knows About Jacintha, Right? She has her place, and I'm in it right now. | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? Jeff, I totally accept your position. Having initiated the thread on crossover design (on which you were a gracious participant) I just thought it interesting to go back and forth between the rooms and listen to the two top models of reputable bra... | |
| Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp? Thanks to you both. Let me see if I understand this correctly. Phase irregularities caused by steep slope crossovers can be compounded by an alignment of the drivers which further distorts the arrival of sound waves at your ear. What I am wonderin... | |
| What age did the "audio bug" hit you? My dad had custom speakers installed in a 70's style bar type thing that held highball glasses and when opened had a mirrored back. He had a Fisher reciever and one of the original AR turntables also fitted into the cabinet. He had a bunch of reco... | |
| Wilson Benesche ACT 1 & Valve amp Tommuch. Can you elaborate on your comments regarding the ARC/WB combo? I have a 100.2 amp and SP16 preamp and am thinking of the ACT's or the Curves as a speaker option. Thoughts would be appreciated. | |
| Linn/Naim user seeks advice on tube pre/ss amp Bob. I ran a Naim HiCap/62/140 for over 10 years and had really bought into the PRAT mantra/cult. Sadly, it turns out. About a year ago I sold it all rather than pay what I consider to be far too much money for either a "recap" of my equipment or ... | |
| An Extraordinary Find Trelja. Thanks for all of your thoughtful commentary. My quest, which began over a year ago, was to find a pair of attractive floorstanders to replace my Harbeth Compact 7s. I very much have enjoyed the Harbeth's. They are so thoroughly "right" in... | |
| An Extraordinary Find Joperfi. I agree, shows are not the best place to listen to speakers. I believe I am correct in saying that the speaker you heard was a preproduction effort similar to the one reviewed a while back in Bound for Sound. The current production models... | |
| An Extraordinary Find Fiddler. I'm told it is around 24K. A whole different kettle of fish price wise. I've also heard tell that it is one of the best speakers out there, period. | |
| An Extraordinary Find I can certainly confirm Trelja's comments on the cabinets. The veneer work is beautiful! Build quality is superb. This is one handsome speaker with a high WAF. Interestingly, one cannot really appreciate any of this by looking at the sales literat... | |
| An Extraordinary Find Trelja. I had the fortunate pleasure of hearing them with Dr. Raines. Since you are affiliated with the company that may put the listening room and system components in clearer perspective. I am inclined to think that the tile/stone floor, wall of... | |
| An Extraordinary Find The Frieds were powered by a Audible Illusions preamp and 50 watt solid state monoblocks whose name I don't recall. One of the nice things about these speakers is how easy they are to drive. A very stable 4 ohm load and 90+db efficiency. The 50 wa... | |
| Proac Response 2.5 vs D25 Drubin. Contact Fried via there website. They are friendly and committed to customer service. They can provide you with an update on product availability and dealer information. They are worth a drive for sure. | |
| Proac Response 2.5 vs D25 To add--I recently auditioned the D25 and heard the 2.5 back several years. I won't compare the two--it has been too long since I heard the older model. I will say the D25 was a surprisingly good speaker. Not that I went in with diminished expecta... |
