| SF Cremonese Q Recently I listened to the Cremonese extreme and did not find their tweeter hot -- if anything it sounded somewhat recessed, but pleasantly so. It seemed to extend very high and the overall result was coherent, such that I sat back and listened to... | |
| Magico vs the world @lohanimal What amp do you use with the Magico. On some DArtzeels they sound a bit flat and meh - but when i’ve heard them with Soullution or Constellations they have sounded superb. I listened to the M3 & M5 with a Symphonic Line Kraft 250 | |
| Phonostage, preamp or amp? Since you opted for a tube pre, I strongly recommend a used CAT Ultimate with integrated phono. It is an exceptionally good design and the phono section is excellent as well. The CAT easily outperforms most pres out there -- used it should be reas... | |
| wilson benesch precision p3.0 thoughts Not so long ago I listened to these driven by a large MF 800 nuvista. Good frequency response, tight sound ("precise"?) good imaging and very good dynamics. I liked the sense of space they created and the soundstage was very well focused. To use y... | |
| Volt radial woofer Very well engineered driver with excellent reputation. What is it you would like to know? Years ago I had considered the 12" for an open bafflesubwoofer, 2 per side, but it was too costly and difficult to configure for a stark amateur such as myse... | |
| Magico vs the world @lohanimal If you asked me the best playback i ever heard was a £500,000 fm acoustics system which really sounded like live music using FM amps, and speakers. I second that -- auditioned at FM acoustics' room. And the system was fantastic eve... | |
| Question/Advice About Isolation Feet for Speakers Using only the spikes you are coupling your speakers to the floor, while the Gaia feet decouple the speakrs from the floor.Simply put, decoupling and raising the speakrs doesn't work in your room. You are losing low mids and upper bass. You might ... | |
| Best 40 to 50k used speakers @thieliste By the way i live in Europe not in the US ... Looking for something with the same refinement but a big step up (from the Thiel 3.7). It will help to know how large your room is (will be) and your musical preferences...Based on personal... | |
| Review: Fritz Heiler’s Carrera BE Bookshelf Speakers Interesting review and well written -- as above, a pleasure to read.Thank you! | |
| Best options for active speakers $4k or below? Alternatively, try Genelec 8030C.A lot depends on how big the room is, of course. | |
| Member Almarg passed away last night Rest in peace, Al, you live in our memories.Condolences to Margaret and family. | |
| Update on Audiogon Member Almarg Dear Al, In the light of things, it seems that we need a miracle -- so that is what I will wish for and pray for. Your voice here is one of reason and maturity, not to mention the interesting and precise information you provide. Be well Al, you ha... | |
| the dB/octave specification of the crossover? A lousy metaphor indeed! Where is the analogy between the resolution of a TV screen and the attenuation slope of a xover??? | |
| Seas Excel Diamond tweeter or Plasma? The plasma tweet is difficult to combine with ATC’s 75 unit -- mechanical compliance will be an issue, before even discussing electronic compatibility.If you wish to improve upon your Tetra, add low-frequency energy maybe even using a couple of 12... | |
| what is your opinion ? @atmasphere I’m afraid there is no separating the wheat from the chaff, and all of your goodwill and your efforts have fallen flat! @sabih: Atmasphere is trying to tell you that he, too, avoids aimless talks (i.e. he agrees with you that "mine is ... |
