| Ascend Sierra-1 vs LSA-1 ?? I have owned both speakers, Rmhall, although not at the same time. I found the build quality of the Sierra 1 to be wonderful a the price (gorgeous cabinets) but didn't find the sound particularly moving or impressive. I liked the LSA's a lot, with... | |
| Reference 3A Episode vs MM deCapo i Shakey,Got to visit a Ref 3A dealer today while on vacation and see my first pair of GV's in person... they weren't hooked up, though, so I didn't get to hear them. They are way, way too big, physically, for my listening room, but in yours they lo... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos Wolf-garcia,I think it's deliberate. Somewhere on the 'Gon there is a thread about Morph when it first came out. Somebody posted that they took that CD to dealers to evaluate the low end performance of speakers, and somebody else in the thread jum... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos Rfprice: Yeah, I don't think this album would've made it past Roger Nichols (rest in peace). Where's the awesome clarity he brought to Two Against Nature or Everything Must Go? In the midrange that album sounds to me all airless and congealed. Or ... | |
| Reference 3A Episode vs MM deCapo i Shakeydeal,Thanks. Happier with my system now than I've ever been. But yeah, I'm loving the De Capo's. They "disappear" more completely than any other speakers I've ever had. And that's with a listening room that's still pretty compromised. Now I ... | |
| Reference 3A Episode vs MM deCapo i Grinnell,Yes, mine have the acoustic lens. Have a look at my system photos to see it. Yes, Reference 3a (which did not create the technology but licenses it) says that it improves dispersion and eliminates any air vortexes in the speaker cone. You... | |
| Merlin TSM makes rattling noise at low and loud Also, are you certain it's not something in the room rattling in response to the low frequency energy? I've seen that happen. Just a guess. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Back to swooning over Sade's "Promise," especially "Is It A Crime," "War Of The Hearts" and "Mr. Wrong." Great music and amazing sonics for a big, studio pop album.Also, Bonnie Raitt, "Nick Of Time" on the original vinyl release - "Cry On My Shoul... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos Chazro,Guilty as charged! What happened was this:When the album first came out, I was in a hurry to hear it, so I downloaded it from iTunes. Then it hit me that without the album cover and liner notes, I was missing part of the experience, so I bo... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos Okay, I now own this album as a CD, a hi-res download from HDTracks and as an iTunes set. And I must say something that as a Steely Dan / Donald Fagen fanatic since my high school days, I never thought I'd say: I hate this record. The sonics - whi... | |
| Reference 3A Grand Veena, can they rock? Happy to hear more when you get a chance and can tear yourself away from your music. :-) | |
| Reference 3A Grand Veena, can they rock? Shakeydeal,Did you pick up your Grand Veena's yet? | |
| Reference 3A Episode vs MM deCapo i Shakeydeal,Very exciting about the GV's. Never heard them but I'd imagine they are spectacular. Enjoy and please do report back! | |
| Reference 3A Episode vs MM deCapo i Jayh31,Thank you for reminding me about this thread! I am happy to give a preliminary report.I would say that I have something like 150 hours on the MM De Capo iA's at this point, although unfortunately I haven't been keeping an exact log. What I ... | |
| James Taylor reissues? Audiotomb,That's Why I'm Here is a great record, for sure. In fact, it was the album I took with me to dealers when I was auditioning equipment my first, modest high-end system in 1985. But Never Die Young and October Road have their great moments... |
