Viva Preciso
Thanks for the reply jond. That could be a deal killer for the used Classico currently listed on A-gon by a dealer. As long as some of the components aren't hard to get, I'm good. It's point to point so I know a couple of excellent audio engineers... 
Cork floors?
Thanks all.I forgot about this article:http://www.enjoythemusic.com/canada_hifi/08_2013/improving_room_acoustics.htmMalcolm Gomes addresses the "flutter echo" which is exactly what I was referring to. I think the answer is standing diffuser pane... 
Cork floors?
Thanks tostadosunidos, interesting article. For me wall to wall carpet is not a consideration, I have dogs. When I clap my hands the room resonates. Too live a room is fatiguing and the music is difficult for me to discern. Possibly this has no me... 
RMAF 2012 Postmortem
John,I can hear to 18 kHz no problem. Old CRTs, and whatever is going on in the fluorescent lights or hard drives I can here a continuous high pitch sound. Having worked near wind tunnels for 25 years I've undoubtedly broken off some of the tiny h... 
RMAF 2012 Postmortem
Sorry about the double post. Not sure how that happened. 
RMAF 2012 Postmortem
I love this show: great people, great music and how can you not have a great time if you’re obsessed with sound. Obviously it is disappointing when some of your favorite manufactures don’t exhibit, like First Sound, Yamamoto, Thoress, Audiopax, et...

RMAF 2012 Postmortem
I'll chime in eventually, I just have to rewrite my notes. One small correction, the DeVore speakers were the Orangutans and not the Gibbons. Did you like one over the other? I personally preferred the 96s. Excellent well defined and intimate midr... 
Horning owners what amps have you used?
Atmasphere, interesting that you suggested your M-60 for the Horning. 60 watts would certainly up the power in comparison to anything I've driven the Horing with thus far. Actually I would think the S-30 would be more than sufficient power for eit... 
Horning owners what amps have you used?
Actually Charles1dad you were correct, Horning did once make a 300b (Taj Mahal) and an 845 (Emperor). The Sati 520b appears to be the only amp he's producing now. From the posts on this tread only Latinsamba1 has heard the 520b. It would be intere... 
Horning owners what amps have you used?
Charles1dad,Yes you're probably right regarding the 45/2a3. I also have a huge room, but I listen mostly to acoustical music. It still would be fun to try a 45.It's not exactly like I'm looking for something better, just different. I like a slight... 
Horning owners what amps have you used?
It's hard not to get caught up in the Joule-Merlin synergy when hear them at a show. Same goes for the Horning-Tron synergy...not so for the deHavilland-Sonist combo, but that's just my opinion.I live in the SF Bay Area. 
Horning owners what amps have you used?
Thanks Rodge827 for the suggestion. I should start building my own amps. Unfortunately I have too many hobbies as it is, maybe in a couple of years if and when I can afford to retire.Goldeneraguy, I borrowed the 845-G SE's some time ago and I thou... 
45 Amps
Lokie and Shoot4pin or whomever, have you owned other 45s (or 2a3) before purchasing the Deja Vu? You rarely see a used Deja Vu listed on Audiogon and I'd hate to pop for a new one without listening to it first. I'm located on the opposite coast a... 
DeVore Orangutan O/96
John,Thank you for taking the time to explain the Orangutan variations to this thread. I have talked to you several times and I've read every Orangutan tidbit I can find; this is the first I've heard of a Orangutan series (exciting!). I look forwa...
