| Amplification for Shahinian Obelisks? I believe Shahinian recommends Plinius amps for their speakers, I think I read it on their website. | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? While I've never heard those particular Dyn's I have heard the Contour's (which I heavily considered buying) and currently own Ohm Walsh 3's which are way down the ladder from what you're considering. Comparing Ohm's to most direct firing loudspea... | |
| Acoustic Technologies Classic Series... Worth it?? I owned these for about a month and I REALLY wanted to like them, however there was simply too much missing from them. In direct comparison with my other speakers (Ohm Walsh 3's and Yamaha NS690's) there was simply no contest. I bought mine used f... | |
| JBL 4425 or Yamaha NS-1000 ? pls vote The JBL's may well be preferred by some over the NS1000's but I would never characterize the 1000's as "mass market" or their drivers as "cheap". In fact the cost of the beryllium domes was so high that Yamaha eventually stopped producing them for... | |
| New speaker technology vs. Old speaker tech??? I may be going in a different direction here but I wouldn't say the "technology" of speakers is improving. I mean the majority of speakers today use a box, pistonic drivers, wires and a crossover, basically the same as most speakers for the last 6... | |
| Magnepan MMG Speakers? Maggies need current, more so than watts, so look at amps accordingly. Also, as good as the little MMG's are, they don't do much bass so you may want to consider a small sub to pair them with. | |
| Brass screws make a real difference on Dunlavy s ? From what I recall about this subject from a few years ago is that brass doesn't resonate as much as steel. Hence their popularity as footers and speaker points and such. | |
| Planars/ Electrostats benefits over box speakers? Having owned both Maggies (1.5's and MMG's) and Martin- Logans (Aerius) I feel compelled to chime in. Without getting too technical about how they produce sound let me say that their biggest advantage over box speakers is simply NO BOX. They both ... | |
| Single driver speakers without the pitfalls? Been reading this thread with much interest as I've always wanted to see what the so called "magic" of a well executed single driver setup was all about. The closest I've come is my current setup of Ohm Walsh 3's which run a semi full range driver... | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... I'd say it's time this thread died... | |
| Tekton Mini Lore Bookshelf Monitors These are pretty much a new model at Tekton so its unlikely they have had much exposure yet. | |
| My New Large Advents Advent's and a Marantz 2275 = bliss... | |
| How do Ohm Walsh speakers compare to Maggies? Having owned 3 sets of Maggies,(MMG's, 10.1's w/sub and 1.5's)and currently Ohm Walsh 3's I feel compelled to chime in... Most of what s been posted I agree with but I feel one other aspect needs addressing and that is musical taste. If your taste... | |
| Shrinking my system Someone else mentioned DeCapo's and I'll second that. | |
| Plinius 9200 Intergrated for Shahinian Arc On Shahinian's own website I believe they mention Plinius as one of the amplifiers they recommend. |
