| Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"? Well all I can say is the recording engineers whose work you want to accurately replicate used plain old copper wire and none of this fancy garbage sales people have talked you into. Have you tried a blind test on these things to figure out effica... | |
| Speaker Cables For Big Horns & Tubes 12g zip cord all day long on my all horn system. Anything above this is salesman BS. I could get away with 14g easily enough but I like the durability the heavier gage brings as I am not in a kind environment at times. Currently pushing a system f... | |
| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? " Sure: Among audiophiles, who have also discussed "for decades" the "sonic effects" of a vast amount of pseudo-scientific "effects" (often barely that). " It's the PT Barnum effect or as it would be in plain words and not psychobabble. It go... | |
| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? I just love this thread. I am referring people from other sites to this one as an example of how insane audiophile drivel can be. Simply unbelievable that this could even be a topic that any would think is serious. All kidding aside though I move... | |
| Difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables? " If one doesn’t honor the inherent directionality of wire and cryogenically treat the wire then he cannot compete in today’s marketplace. In fact he can’t compete in yesterday’s marketplace. " I love science fiction and read it all the time. ... | |
| granite base for speakers I use a 4" think plate of Stainless Steel. Brushed finish looks really modern and I have cone shaped indentations on the top so my speaker standoff feet have a secure sonic connection to the Audio Vibration Dampening Plate. Works better then anyth... | |
| Suggestions for higher efficiency speakers Had a chance to work on some Klipsch KPT-904's this past week. The next iteration of the KPT-456's mentioned above with a different horn but still the same bass bin. 105db efficient and with a footprint a bit larger than a Cornwall. They play anyt... | |
| What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why? For me it would be the Klipsch KPT-904. Great clean bass and articulate highs and no one wants to leave when you fire them up. 2" horn top with a two 15" woofer bass bin and 105 db efficient and even small amps would deliver more sound than you c... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? " @mahlman: Are you talking about acrylic tube cable risers ? or what ? " Use the tubes as conduit. Any electrically neutral support will work like nice designer hardwood supports for instance will look good and work well in this situation.@non... | |
| Any Audio Enthusiasts in Alabama? I am in southern Tennessee about 60 miles north of Huntsville. I have all kinds of Klipsch and besides my personal system normally have a variety of things to listen to. Nothing fancy here but the sound if anyone cares to stop in I am always up fo... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? I think there are a couple of things to think of here.First I endorse the use of high density metal conductors. You see what many in the audiophile world don’t understand is that the space in between the interstices of atoms is larger or smaller d... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? " What sucks are the people that peddle this stuff for "stupid money" prices while making all manner of empty claims (subliminal mental suggestions in this case) that are complete and total BS. That really sucks " GK my hat is off to you for ... | |
| Suggestions for higher efficiency speakers " If talking about professional speakers why don't mention Altecs 604 and 605 " I don't know about those but I have had VOTT 1234 and A-7's and the A-7's are very nice and not thirsty for watts. Big though. @phusis, Interesting you mentioning th... | |
| Suggestions for higher efficiency speakers Oh I can agree with we have different preferences and you are an evangelist for your flavor as I am for mine. I mostly want people to listen to my suggestions before making choices they spend money on because a fully informed buyer who has listene... | |
| Suggestions for higher efficiency speakers A group of us met with Roy Delgado in October at the Klipsch factory for a teaching session on why PW Klipsch did what he did and why Roy does what he does regarding speaker design. One of the sessions had the new Heresy, a vast improvement, the n... |
