| Dude, where's my bass? Oh, lost to stiffened rubber surrounds...who knew? +3 on Millersound.Bill listened to my speakers, and immediately felt the rubber surrounds hamstrung them. After he worked his stuff on them, he had them soaring like eagles. He's a master at getting a driver to work optimally and actually make m... | |
| Speaker distance @geoffkait , "I would be remiss if I didn’t say that there’s an infinite number of speaker locations for a given room, so obviously the ye olde trial and error method can only get you so far. You can NEVER find the absolute best locations that way... | |

| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? The day I met The Doctor aka Mechans, the intent was to go shopping for new stereo equipment to replace his so-called out of date 1980s audio system. He ran a pair of Klipsch Heresy loudspeakers, and as I listened, asked him, "Why would you want ... | |
| The Legendary ? Infinity IRS V Bill Legall of Millersound in Lansdale, PA whom Will (tubegroover) and I mentioned, had 2 pairs of IRS V in his home, in different rooms. And he's had 2 or 3 pairs of Betas and several lower iterations in another room in the years since. He did ... | |
| Biggest impact: moving from integrated to separates I'm in the camp of @robd2 and @missioncoonery I think part of the feeling regarding the superiority of separates reflects a lack of integrateds on the same level. The majority of integrated amplifiers on the market fall into the entry level of a ... | |
| No love for Verity? Not to say too much beyond the owners run the company differently than a lot of what's expected in the industry.Beautiful looking and sounding loudspeakers. I've never felt less than impressed when listening to them, including the pair I heard at... | |
| Does a tube need the break-in hours? @lak, as usual, is absolutely right on | |
| Since Dennis Had left Cary has the company built any new tube equipment? @linnlingo +1 | |
| Slappy here. Been a long time, have some audio source questions. GREAT to have you back!!! Can't wait to have your humor around again. You’re right, it sure has been a while... | |
| Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ? Of course, turning around to buy used is going to happen. But those are onesies and twosies kinds of things. It's really dealers getting their sales poached by other dealers that's a huge burden upon them.When I imported high-end audio component... | |
| Whats in your second system? I have a 15' X 13' library or whatever it's called as a part of my bedroom. Like lak, it gets whatever's not currently in the main system:Jadis Orchestra Reference integratedJadis Defy DA30 integratedQuicksilver 8417 monoblock power amplifiersDyn... | |
| Why is it so easy to tell the difference between live and recorded music? Dynamic range certainly plays a huge role.I also notice the ability of many a system to start and stop fails to mirror reality, even as some claim the superiority of their means of implementation.But for me, I'm MOST bothered by the incorrect tone... | |
| More Bad News AT Thiel Definitely a sad turn of events for one of the most highly regarded high-end audio companies to have come down the pike...Unfortunately, the history of this industry shows time and time and time again such entities rise up through the force of cha... | |
| What is it that you don't like about your Listening Room ? Well, I've laid out a lot in the speaker thread, but I'm most fortunate and happy with my main 17' X 28' room.My second room is 15' X 13', and has its challenges, as components tend to sound quite hard, and I often go through periods where compone... |
