| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? @soundchasr - The Larsens may be "funny looking" but they have some advantages:1- they can (have to be) placed right against the wall so placement issues are n/a2- they have high WAF. I had Larsen 4s, 6s, and 8s in the living room at various times... | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? @soundchasr The three speaker examples you listed have very different presentations of sound. I'm a big fan of omnidirectional speakers and horns (which you did not mention).Besides the Ohms, which are great speakers, I would recommend Shahinian ... | |
| Sexy singer(s) and/or song(s) Verging towards politically incorrect: I don't know about sexy, but "I Touch Myself" by Divinyls is about the most overtly sexual song I have heard on the airwaves.When I think sexy music (whatever that means to each of us) I think of performers l... | |
| Integrated amplifier sound @arichison, I think you are barking up the wrong tree. ADS speakers are great but they are not known for "slam." If you are looking for exaggerated bass and high SPL you should probably look at different speakers. Vintage JBL or more modern Vander... | |
| Ojas? I have never seen the Ojas but I have read about them. There is a trend for local fashionistas in NYC and LA to want to get into the audio business. Retro is cool and these folks buy up and sometime mod vintage gear. This isn't the first guy I hav... | |
| Switch between amps Yes, you can do this. The easiest way is to use a HIGH QUALITY speaker selector switch. Luxman and Van Alstine make these. I haven't used the VA box but it looks good. I regularly use a Luxman AS-50R for making A/B tests on speakers.There is a cur... | |
| Have you ever used a separate speaker selector unit to audition speakers? Would you? For those of you with a myriad of arguments against using a GOOD speaker selector I say great, don't use one. I find it almost essential for making A/B comparisons. No, there is no free lunch so you have to do some work, like figuring out how to l... | |
| is the sound of vinyl due to the physical process of the turntable? is the sound of vinyl due to the physical process of the turntable?@guitarsam - not due to, in spite of. From a noise perspective, turntables only contribute to the noise floor. What a better (but not necessarily expensive) turntable provides is... | |
| Suggestions on Integrated Amp./Seperates to Run my Klipschorns You don't need a lot of amp for Klischorns. In fact, you don't want a lot of amp for these speakers. The tube types for SET amps that verdantaudio listed above will work great. I'll throw a few other suggestions at you:- decware: some of the best ... | |
| Why not more dealers take trade ins? I think that almost any dealer will take a trade-in. The problem is the delta between what most buyers expect to receive for the trade-in gear vs. what a dealer can actually pay for that gear and cover additional direct expenses such as service an... | |
| Have you ever used a separate speaker selector unit to audition speakers? Would you? Yeah. Don't.Nonsense. Or maybe true if you are using a cheap switch. Niles, anyone?A good selector switch is really a set of time adjusted relays that have little or no effect on the signal pass through them. I own and have used a Luxman AS-50R ... | |
| McIntosh, your experience? whatjd, you really haven't given us with enough information to provide you with a useful answer. McIntosh is a manufacturer who has been in business for a long time. They have made a variety of gear in all types. Are you interested in new mac gear... | |
| Any NEAT love here? Comparing mini stand mount speakers.... Which model Neat speakers are you interested in? And are you planning to place them on a long or short wall? | |
| What the heck do these terms mean? Think of the treble as Brylcreem vs Vitalis@isochronism Thanks, lol. I don't think the under 60 crown (either of you) will get it. | |
| Speaker cable arrows??? OK all, I'm officially tired of this thread. I would like to thank jea48 for his gentlemanly responses and his attitude. Jeff, I really wish I could understand which side of a question you are arguing after reading your posts. But I guess that's w... |
