| Active speaker, the future? or another fad? I know that Onhwy61 and I are polar opposites when it comes to this, but that's what makes life interesting.I fully believe that the ATCs will knock your socks off. That is also true of a lot of pro audio gear.However, looking at the progression t... | |
| Sunfire amps Sean, don't change a thing. Just be the same guy you always were. I am part of the consensus who feels the only people being hurt were we Audiogoners. To those who can't handle the truth - As they say, if you can't run with the big dogs, stay the ... | |
| Atma-Sphere with Gilmore on HE 2004 Well, I think your invitation is a good thing, Ralph. Although I really disagree strongly about the competence of these speakers, and you must admit, I am really in the majority, they deserve the chance you are asking us to give.From my vantage po... | |
| Atma-Sphere with Gilmore on HE 2004 I would encourage you to give OTL amplifiers another chance.At the 2001 and 2002 HE shows, I found the Atma Sphere amplifiers sounded horrific with the Classic Audio Reproductions horns. Two months later, I heard the same amplifiers with a differe... | |
| Is this rude? This is an interesting thread.My own perspective is that one should go in and be 100% honest. You are a Conrad Johnson dealer. I currently have the possibility of purchasing a used MV60 amplifier for a very good price. I would like the opportunity... | |
| Atma-Sphere with Gilmore on HE 2004 Sorlowski, you and I did not like the Atma Sphere/Gilmore sound at HE2004. I did not find it weak, or non dynamic, but harsh, irritating, and very shrill. I also back up those here who feel the Atma Spheres are a stellar sounding product. I assure... | |
| Expensive interconnects Good thread, Nocaster!I will reiterate my belief that price has very little correlation to performance. Price is mostly related to what the market will bear, as opposed to material or usually, labor costs.I personally know and recommend a cable th... | |
| Trelja and friends in New York, 2004 I should correct an omission that I had made originally. The Lowther based Rethm speakers I found to my liking were paired with solid state Red Planet amplification. Despite the conventional wisdom that a "sand amp" will not make good sound with a... | |
| Monitor recommendations with sensitivity =90 I'll second Wellfed on the Omegas and Elevick on the Coincidents.A friend of mine had an extremely low powered integrated that we shopped for speakers last summer. We ended up with the Coincident Triumph, and I felt it was far the best at being dr... | |
| Maggie's and cats Why is it that the threads that have to do with cats are the funniest? | |
| Alpha Core vs Solo inductors? Most people who have used both that I have talked to prefer the Solo by a slim margin(not very much), but have now switched to AlphaCore, as I believe the Solo are no longer available. | |
| Does Your System Sound Like the Real Thing? No and no.I will say that nothing floors me more than the number of serious audiophiles who have no concept of what live music actually sounds like. The most glaring thing are the volumes and percussive dynamics of live music, which is rarely, if ... | |
| Thoughts on single driver speakers I have become a big fan of single driver speakers. The Lowther and Fostex drivers sound especially good to me. There is something very, very right about the sound. What I like the most is how voices and instruments jump out at you, just like in li... | |
| Trelja- announcement and disclaimer Michael, we certainly missed you in NYC, but graduation and moving takes precedence of course. Yes, we had some great times checking out gear. Now that I look back on things, it seems almost surreal the time we visited our good friend David Lewis.... | |
| Trelja- announcement and disclaimer Thanks for all the well wishes from my good friends here!To be truthful, I detest a company selling in the threads, but I have always welcomed manufacturers sharing insight so I appreciate Ralph Karsten, Bobby Palkovic, Israel Blume, Kevin Halvers... |
