| Klipsch Forte ii too bright, or is it my room ? Glass and tile room? That, to me, seems to be your problem.I've also noticed a few comments over the years about some speakers being best at lower volumes and not so great at higher volumes.That's probably the room too. Sound telegraphs the materi... | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear @ Chakster,Yes those are very nice! | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear I’m an industrial designer. And, yes, beauty is totally in the eye of the beholder.I think OMA audio stuff looks very interesting...meaning novel...but man, at those prices...I want the speaker frames/armatures to be single-piece cast-iron beautie... | |
| Putting it to bed Hello I Must Be Going was my very first CD purchase. I still have it.Great Drummer. My last criteria in my personal greatest drummer list places 'fearlessness' over 'technical chops'. So Elvin Jones and Max Roach are ahead of Buddy Rich for me...B... | |
| Recommendations and thoughts for end game speakers and amps This is such a personal decision.Your dealer and we may have favorites...but it's up to you. Maybe start with what sound you want in your room. The room is a big player. Don't fight the room and its furnishings. You may move, but your furnishings ... | |
| Drummers! Which amps do you use for best Timing & Dynamics? I use a Primaluna Evo 400 power amp via a Don Sachs Model 2 preamp. The preamp is very transparent and has an excellent attenuator. The Primaluna amp is not the last word on resolution but it is ballsy. It’s an odd but great sounding combo.I can h... | |
| Tannoy cheviot vs Arden what should I expect from each? I have been given the OK by the boss to buy my last set of speakers and will buy Tannoy. I’m looking at the Cheviots, Ardens and the Turnberrys as well. I will also audition them as soon as I can get a free day. I’m lucky that Upscale Audio is onl... | |
| Power conditioner some say yes and some say no. I say yes and no.I plug my Primaluna Evo400 right into the wall. It is the only component plugged into that dedicated circuit. The rest of my components (2 analogue and 2 digital) are plugged into 2 Furman AC-215As. Each Furman has only 2 sockets.... | |
| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming Also:Tech at Upscale audio said I needed a full 200 hours for the Dialogue Premium to break in.I honestly couldn't see it covering that much ground in 50 hours but maybe I was being hasty. Anyway, glad I traded up. | |
| PrimaLuna Evo 200 underwhelming As strange as this sounds, I had a similar experience with a PL Dialogue Premium.After 150 hours it still sounded disappointing (mostly veiled). Preamp was a Don Sachs...so no problem there.My (nos) Carver TFM-35 was put it back in the chain. It w... | |
| So I just bought a Hegel H390 and I'd get the Tannoy Arden...but that's me. What do I know? | |
| Full range speaker for rogue 90 or 100 wpc amp. TannoyLook at the Legacy Cheviot or Arden if you're feeling bold. | |
| What is wrong with my system? Maybe a preamp/amp match...I doubt it.Most likely it’s the room. My current system is 3x the cost of my previous system in my previous residence. That system, in that room, walks away from my current system (It had early concrete acoustic ceilings... | |
| How long does Class A have? When I got into Art Center in 1988 to be a car designer, an instructor said to be our class 'I do not want to see manual transmissions in your designs...they will not exist in the year 2000'.Yet after graduating, every vehicle I bought, I tried to... | |
| Rank the tweaks, geeks! Definitely an order of operations:1) Get the room layout figured out. This includesacoustic treatment (rugs, wall, ceiling, furniture issues sorted), component location and speaker positions. Live and learn here. Exploit all possibilities. I've ha... |
