| Horn listeners - Do you have trouble listening to others? AMT tweeters give me a headache. The sound of stressed plastic is fatiguing... | |
| Why so many wilson alexias for sale I just heard them. It is practically the same speaker, only Wilson customers can “hear” the amazing difference. The dealers take them in trade, so it is only ~$16K or so hit. But looks like they get stuck with them. Don’t understand how it works; ... | |
| Magicos are chesty @eric_squ God I am so tempted to hack a pair. :) If only I had a bazillion dollars to blow on taking apart a speaker whose crossover I’m going to completely rework.LOL, I suggest you call up Magico and offer your help... Well, it certainly IS in... | |
| Magicos are chesty ctsooner Many speakers are lacking in the power range (lower-midrange). The Vandersteen are notoriously weak at that region (Even JA concluded his review of your speakers with: “I remain puzzled by that lack of lower-midrange energy…”). So yes, re... | |
| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? @ musicloversaudio Wilson audioThe biggest hoax in the industry. And the dealers believe that… How sad ☹ | |
| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 Yeah, whatever... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 @profI remember the last argument was finished when you folded and ran away, a cowardly thing to do when you run out of empty slogans (or twist my words - did I say that JA sounds "awful"?). You did not need to copy SP review; I can read it myself... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 @soix I can’t tell what a product would sound like based on measurements, but I can definitely tell that a gross breakup at 5K will sound awful. Of course I heard JA speakers, and sure enough, it is extremely audible, on all of JA speakers that ar... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 @prof Lack of grain with JA Perspectives?? Out of SEAS magnesium drivers? You got to be kidding? Just look at SP measurements of these speakers, and the nasty midrange breakup at only 5KHz (!!). It is only 15db down in level (we hear down to -60db... | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K @freesole Something to think about. Perhaps it is the components, but the listening experience was impressive without being jaw dropping - if you know what I mean.Precisely, just think about all the 'jaw dropping' loudspeakers you heard and how ... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? @duckworpI am a Fanboy of good engineering. Unfortunately, in our hobby, and particularly high-end loudspeakers, they are hard to come by. BTW, I travel a lot to Europe, and I am familiar with the foreign audio press. Don’t kid yourself; they are... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? That is why the cones should be sandwiched, creating a constrained layer damping mechanism. See Magico and Zellaton. Focal does that as well, but uses fiberglass, somewhat less effective. Magico uses 3" and 5" voice coil, btw. | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? It is neither rigid, (nor pistonic), if compared to CF, aluminum, or ceramic cones, all you have to do is touch one (You can actually see that in the measurements as well, if you know what to look for). I have seen a dealer stand on a Magico 6" co... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? @prof Looks like you were on the debate team at school right? I have an allergic reaction to these circular debating techniques that lead nowhere since the debater has a very shallow understanding of the subject he was just asked to debate. It is... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? So if cheap parts, none pistonic jello cones, no coherent signal above 12K, a cabinet that produces noise that accounts for a significant portion of the overall output do not reduces resolution, what does? Would it helps if you look at the gross T... |
