| speakers for classical music Putting on my "green" hat:Hey, we're starting to be forced to move away from gas guzzling cars, maybe we should be moving away from inefficient speakers and power guzzling amps as well?I say this being a very proud and happy owner of some fairly i... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Never heard a pair of Dynaudio's set up properly that I didn't like. Audience line is very good price/performance.Triangles are a touch faster and more transparent at low volumes, otherwise Dynaudio rules. Very lively and very solid and extended l... | |
| speakers for classical music It would be pretty boring in this site if all high end stuff sounded the same. | |
| speakers for classical music DCstep,No doubt.But interesting, nonetheless. | |
| speakers for classical music I don't know if tube electronics are inherently superior or not, but from his description and some reviews I've read, I would very much like to hear Atmasphere's particular design and approach properly implemented in a matching system! | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? back to the original question, here's my poor attempt at defining hi, medium and low end:Low end: does what it does poorlymid fi: does what it does wellhi end: does everything very well but still no two setups sound the same...still subject to per... | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? GoGirl,The only advice is to enjoy the music regardless and don't let the technical details or worries about what you might be missing drag you down.

| speakers for classical music Atmasphere, Had never heard of Classic Audio Reproductions and their horn designs.Very interesting! I've been drooling over the Jadis Eurythmies in one agoner's system here for quite a while mainly because they look gorgeous and I also have had an... | |
| speakers for classical music Atmasphere,A valid point.Most speakers that do all the other things well may well crumble when it comes time to reproduce lifelike orchestral dynamics. This is a weak area for Maggies and electrostats that require significant power to drive yet st... | |
| speakers for classical music Shadorne, your comments seem consistent with what I've observed with several different speaker makes and models over the years, I believe.When I owned B&W P6s, with the B&W polymer (I believe) drivers, they struck me both physically and au... | |
| speakers for classical music I'm thinking one of the keys to a good speaker for classical is that they are "fast" and able to keep up with all the details inherent in large scale classical recordings, symphonic or orchestral recordings in particular. Rigidity is another facto... | |
| Need guidance on isolation devices Would like to know what your system sits on currently?The general rule is stereo components should sit on something very firm, heavy and solid for isolation from vibrations transmitted via floor, walls, etc.All my components. including phono sit o... | |
| What's the best way to send stuffs over to Europe I've used USPS to ship amps and other electronics most cost effectively to Britain, Norway and Italy. Its a little scary and unnerving until things arrive due to poor tracking, but in each case the items did make it there just fine. Always make su... | |
| NAD C372 & Gallo Ref 3.1 "The Gallos should work quite well with that amp, they love a high-current amp and the strong, ballsy NAD bottom end should sound great with those speakers."Agreed. Well put!I've heard the NAD/Gallo Ref combo at a dealer. It sounded very good, muc... | |
