| Does Avalon speakers have a house sound? They have contracted over the last several years, more than many companies over the same period, they may have to change what they do a bit. | |
| Sub-woofer fast enough for Horns? Not enough info, as others have said.Regarding "fast", there is no such thing as "fast" 60hz, or 50hz, or 40hz, etc. They all travel at the speed of sound and have periods (the time for one wavelength) equalling the reciprocal of the frequency.Man... | |
| Speakers that do pianos really well Been doing this for 3 decades professionally. I have heard some very flawed loudspeakers sound pretty darned good on piano. If I had to reliably test a speaker in a short period of time piano would not be one of the first 3 albums I would put on. ... | |
| Does Avalon speakers have a house sound? Let's remember that detail alone is a dangerous thing to judge by: just hook up a tweeter used in your favorite speaker and compare the detail of the tweeter to the entire speaker. Immense detail. Mostly due to the lack of other lower frequency so... | |
| Do Active Speakers Belong In A High End System? Czarivey, good for you, not losing sight of live music that so many do. Hey, that is not evil, liking the equipment more than music and more than live music, specifically. What galls me is that those same folks who have not been out in years and n... | |
| Does Avalon speakers have a house sound? I don't even want to THINK about how a violin would sound on them. A friend of mine with the biggest best ones played a bunch of jazz on them, including trumpet works. My ears rang for 3 days. Like violin, trumpet has a very difficult set of overt... | |
| Does Avalon speakers have a house sound? They absolutely have a house sound, I've listened to easily 75 setups over the last 20 years. The sound is detailed (above average to very detailed depending on model), open, very focused, spacious. The negative for many, including me, is that the... | |
| Do Active Speakers Belong In A High End System? "Never been to a concert that had soundstaging." Really?I'll be the first one to say that most audiophiles don't listen to live music, they talk the talk but don't walk the walk. So most audiophile "contrivances" and "novelties in sound" have noth... | |
| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak You use the term "scientific process" in relations to this hocus pocus?All should google "placebo effect" and "the power of suggestion".But no, it is not snake oil. After all, snake oil is liquid.Once we had Ed Villchur, Henry Kloss, and the like.... | |
| Most accurate speaker When looking for accuracy, I really am looking for a speaker that does not repeatedly make the same sort of "telltale" speaker (as opposed to musical) sounds with different albums and instruments. I'm looking for a lack of character, seeking to he... | |
| Boulder has full page ad in Du-pont registry Why criticize? Indeed, it is the luxury market and there is some crossover. At least they (Boulder) are trying something.So what if luxury market buyers are not "about the music"?Most audiophiles are more about the equipment than the music. | |
| Do Active Speakers Belong In A High End System? Bob Reynolds has it right when he says "You hear it all the time on this forum to "trust your ears", yet audiophiles, in general, are locked into old traditions that preclude active designs. So they never get a chance to trust their ears."Most abs... | |
| "What's The Best Value Speaker In $5k-$10k Range?" There are several good speakers listed above, and the list is devoid of real losers. Funny, the lists for really expensive speakers have many more losers than I see in this list. Are the carriage trade items more prone to being overpriced ripoffs ... | |
| Do Active Speakers Belong In A High End System? An active speaker can sound truly awful.An active speaker can sound truly state of the art.Like all components, it depends on the design, execution, and subtleties of the voicing of the product.ATC self powered speakers can sound fabulous. I'm sur... | |
| Seeking thoughts on Apogee Caliber Ribbon speakers Bombaywalla, Apogee Calipers, Divas, Duetta Sigs, with mostly Krell amps of various vintages. I've heard them in the homes of folks involved with both companies. They can be a nice audio experience, unlike many speakers that just hurt my ears or a... |
