| tweak, do they realy bring improvement? not all people have ac issues or problems and it is impossible to say everybody needs a line conditioner. you will not be able to turn the sound of a $100 sony amp into the sound of a $30,000 sounding amp by hooking up a line conditioner. a good l... | |
| audio and photography parallels?? i'm into photography as a hobby and lately turned to all digital. i own a nice pentax sf1 autofocus 35mm film camera with multiple lenses and it is a very nice camera. the only drawback to film is that you have to get the film developed before you... | |
| ESS and Heil air-motion tranformer - any thoughts? i bought a pair back in 1978. used them for years and I liked them very much up until the early 90's. i recently sold them (been in my closet for many years) 5 months ago for $250. | |
| totem model 1 signature IMO, it would be a huge step up. when i owned a pair of model 1's, i had them 3ft from the back wall, and my mani 2's are further from the back wall. i would not recommend putting the totem model 1's close to the back wall because of the rear port... | |
| Who makes the narrowest SACD player? the sanyo player. | |
| Totem Winds are Too Bright a 45 watt amp wouldn't do justice to the totem arros let alone the winds. i have the smaller totem mani 2's and they need 200+ watts plus 'powerful' amp. if you like your tube amp, biamp the speakers using your tube amp for the top end and a solid... | |
| What speakers to replace Paradigm 100.2? Help try a pair of totem speakers. if you are looking for floor standing speakers listen to the forest. if you like a book shelf type of speaker, listen to the totem model 1's or the totem mani 2's. i have a couple pairs of the mani 2's (1 pr for my ht... | |
| Warmest solid-state integrated for under $2k audition the mcintosh ma6500 or the classe cap series. these integrated amps have a tube-like sound with solid state power.good luck. | |
| Best Small Speakers listen to the totem arros, they are a small floor standing speaker that is about 6" wide. Amazing sound for such a small speaker. they can be setup close to a wall or corner. there is a pair on audiogon right now. if you want bookshelf type speake... | |
| So, again, a question concerning amps. classe equipment is very nice, even their older stuff. they did have some issues with some older amps, but overall excellent stuff and highly recommended. they make a very nice 5 channel amp for ht use as well as many different 2 channel models. i... | |
| How about a contest? some people think this is competition. look at some of the threads that people put out on audiogon. there have been many times from a couple people that state 'i had somebody listen to my system and they indicated it was the most musical system th... | |
| Does Your System Sound Like the Real Thing? i feel this would be tough to accomplish. for one thing, you would have to go see the concert when it was recorded so you personnally would have a reference on how it sounded live. then you would have to trust the recording engineers that they did... | |
| Can the Totem Hawk Rock? i have auditioned many different brands and types of speakers before deciding on the totems. the thiels were too bright for me and did not have any bottom end what so ever. b&w speakers, just so-so, nothing stood out. joseph, from their booksh... | |
| Can the Totem Hawk Rock? Exertfluffer, it is not about watts, it is about power. i have heard bob carver amps that claim 400 watts that did not produce the power of an onkyo 70 watt amp. you need a good 'powerfull' amp (not just an amp with a lot of watts) to drive totem ... | |
| Can the Totem Hawk Rock? I will agree with Exertfluffer on auditioning any speaker in your room with your equipment. if you get quality equipment on audiogon at a decent price, you will be able to sell it again if you don't like it. Totem speakers sell pretty fast on audi... |
