| Unhappy with tubes so which transistor amp? If your Aragon amplifiers sound better than the ARC, the latter is broken. As for the digital glare "creeping back into the system", you should probably look elsewhere for the culprit.I can understand that tubes might not be your cup of tea for pr... | |
| $40.000 speaker advise. Check out my list >Why is the Montana KAS not on your list ?<Peter, good question. I haven't heard the KAS, but am a big fan of your work, currently owning the EPS2. If I were in the market for a super speaker, these would surely be the absolute first ones I ... | |
| Poll - Active vs. Passive preamp I am firmly on the fence on this one. I am a former TVC owner and have sung it's praises here. And in the right system (especially with the right amp) it is indeed hard to beat. But after upgrading to a CJ Premier 140 I realized that it was not "p... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro >Of course not any full range speaker will optimise's and sound best out from the wall to preference<Translation, please?Oz | |
| Vandersteen Quatro They might be more user friendly and tunable for different rooms. But to think they will perform optimally in a small room is just wishful thinking. And you might have gotten them to sound fairly good 4 inches from the wall, but I would hardly cal... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro If a 12" wide speaker is too much for your room, I don't see how you are going to make full range speakers like Quatros or Mozart Grands work. You must have a pretty small listening room.Oz | |
| Best Speakers to Audition in the $5-10k range? Do you think that maybe.....just maybe, he might have bought some speakers after two years?!?!?!Oz | |
| Anyone using Coincident Total or Super Eclipse Super Eclipse IIIs are highly overrated IMHO. In my system, they sounded like a competent 2K speaker. You can do much better for the money.Oz | |
| Mobile Fidelity OML-1 - Any thoughts/opinions? >Bill please let the readers know what your lengthy professional experience is ? How long have you been selling and setting up audio systems?<Maybe he would rather let the customers come to him?Ahhh, a novel idea.Oz | |
| Monitor Audio Made in China? Hifimaniac,Do you really think that if AR, Wilson, and Krell manufactured in China that YOU would see any of the cost savings? HAHAHA.....Albert VS already does it, and look at his pricing scheme.Oz | |
| Monitor Audio Made in China? >Damn greedy unions, expecting paid vacations, bathroom breaks, health insurance etc etc<I get all that and don't belong to a union. It is true that for the most part, unions just perpetuate a lazy workforce who think they are entitled. Unio... | |
| Looking for the next best thing? Underground welco Well, they don't boast new technology, radical drivers, or new age psychobabble, but Montana loudspeakers can be considered off the beaten path. These are excellent speakers that can compete with most anything out there in their respective price c... | |
| Anything better than Magnepan 1.6? Your original budget was 3K, but I see you mention up to 4K in your last post. If you can stretch it to that you can get a brand new pair of Montana SP3s. I once owned xover modified 1.6s and replaced them with the SP2 and was very happy. Since th... | |
| Budget power amp for Promethius TVC and Quad 22L A TVC will need to break in just like any other piece of equipment. And each tap on the transformer will have to break in individually. Just be patient.Oz | |
| Looking for a first Tube Amp for under $1000 If you can go a little higher, pick up that used RM9 on Agon right now. Trust me, you won't do better at that price.Oz |
