SNEAK PEEK: Lansche 4.1 Loudspeaker
NEW INFO:I've just spent five days with one of Lansche's principles. We went to Santa Fe to install a pair at our dealer there (Santa Fe Audio Systems). What a treat! We were driving them with more than enough power from the WAVAC He-833 amplifier...

Cpk - It's not a bad job, all things considered! ;-) 
SNEAK PEEK: Lansche 4.1 Loudspeaker
LOL! "I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave ..."Oh dear ... these will now be known as the HAL speaker.Crap. When I sit down and listen tonight I'm going to look right into those tweeters and hear HALs voice. Thanks RW! not;-) 
German Physiks - A huge "wow"
I visited Ramy last Saturday while in D.C. - let me just say that Ramy is a very gracious host with a stunning, STUNNING system. He has managed to assemble one of the most musically satisfying system my ears have had the pleasure to soak in.Ramy -... 
German Physiks - A huge "wow"
Hi Alexsee,The HRS-120 is fairly versatile - one of those "just right" speakers for most rooms. If you've got 300sqft or under, HRS-120 would likely be very happy there.Placement is fairly easy as well - give them at least 1.0m off of any boundary... 
German Physiks - A huge "wow"
I've got two rooms reserved for RMAF so far, and I may be showing up with a GP Unicorn for one of them. This is a 1-way loudspeaker using a Carbon DDD in a special bass horn. I expect we'll get response from the low 30's through 24kHz from that si... 
German Physiks - A huge "wow"
The HRS-120 is not overboard on pricing - starting at $19,495.00/pr for the fine grain veneer version. It's almost full-range. In a moderate room it will give you 30Hz to 21.5kHz. It's not chump-change, but then again I don't think there's anythi... 
Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 5 Series 3 Speaker
The GP DDD is an outstanding accomplishment, but ... you pay for what you get,. The Ohm offerings seems very nice for their asking price.FYI - there's a GP model, the Unicorn, that uses just a DDD loaded into a special bass-horn. With the carbon f... 
Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 5 Series 3 Speaker
On OHM's website I found something - a statement that I disagree with, and that might make for some interesting conversation here:The high frequency response is less important: no musical instrument has a fundamental note above 8,000Hz and CDs don... 
Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 5 Series 3 Speaker
Funny you should ask! ... no, there is not. BUT - we are planning a visit to a Fall Church, VA area audiophile group (@ Jeff Fox's Command Performance AV) on May 17th where we'll be demonstrating the PQS-202 Mk. II model from German Physiks.PQS-20... 
Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 5 Series 3 Speaker
From what I can tell, based on the info Ohm provides plus what I know about the Walsh patent, the present Ohm driver is not a Walsh nor is the Ohm speaker an omni (as the Walsh had been).The present Ohm driver seems to be a wide-band midrange driv... 
What is the best Dynavector MC cartridge - why?
Hi Lew,I haven't had the Te Kaitura Rua in my system - I'm in fact assuming that it's pedigree will carry it. It comes with quite a reputation, as well. It's also one that I'm planning on getting to mount to a Criterion/Copperhead setup.Chris 
What is the best Dynavector MC cartridge - why?
Wow. OK - tough question, as I'm a huge fan of both the XV-1S and the PC-1. I own the XV-1S mono, and the PC-1 stereo. I can't go to bat for either over the other at this point because I haven't A/B'd stereo vs. stereo or mono vs. mono. I can tell... 
Could this be a Major Breakthough ?
You can't take the salt out of the soup.I doubt that any amp technology will be able to undo the inherent problems of midfi speakers.Still - seems to make for great copy.Chris
