| Audio Note speakers Margot, I'm using Audio Note J/LX speakers in my living room, currently powered by a wonderful SE EL-34 amp and 4P1L preamp made for me by Radu Tarta under his Shiny Eyes brand. I have an Audio Note Cobra amp and intended to use that - it sounded... | |
| Corner speaker suggestions for my room You can get them relatively close to the corners but they won't sound best smack in the corners of the room. The small Larsen 4s can be placed 12"-18" from the corners. If you need corner placement I recommend the Audio Notes. I'm using a pair of... | |
| Corner speaker suggestions for my room I will second the recommendation from @kennyc. Larsen speakers will work in virtually any room. When I was a dealer for them I satisfied some guys who were ready to give up. For a room your size I would look for a pair of Larsen 4s. Unfortunately ... | |
| Notice That There Are Not Many Survivors of the MC from the early 19080's or so? Ortofon SPU. Born in 1958, same as me. My Dad had one for playing mono records in the late 1960s, on a Rek-O-Kut studio turntable mounted in a cast iron base with linoleum plinth. I don't remember the tonearm, maybe an Empire. I've had SPUs in my... | |
| Speakers for Small Room Small room, long wall placement. I would look for a used paid of Larsen 6/8/9s. These are designed to be placed on the long wall, directly against the wall. These will paint a huge mural of sound on the wall behind them, and there is essentially n... | |
| An Audio Conversation with ChatGPT You would have received better information and advice if you had used a better AI agent than ChatGPT, the Class D of AI agents. For example, Decagon is faster, runs cooler and features "full range" data processing. It's built on servers that use ... | |
| To all Klipsch Heritage fans Cornwall IVs can (and were made to) be placed smack against the wall. The ported Forte IVs need a little bit of room. Klipsch says 12" but I think 18" sounds better, at least in my room. | |
| Are active speakers worth it now? I recently (and finally) posted a review of the Buchardt A10 active speakers here. My 2 cents worth: I wouldn't pick a pair of active speakers over a passive system just because they are active/powered. And vice-versa. I bought the A10s to solve a... | |
| Buchardt A10 Speakers - 1 Year Review Sorry again folks. The review is in a new post, here: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/review-buchardt-anniversary-10-a10-speakers | |
| $5000 living room speakers for classical music Now for something completely different. I've owned dozens of speakers, mostly great. I used to be an audio dealer and have listened to hundreds of manufacturers and models, some great. The speaker that I think best reproduces the sound of a live a... | |
| Buchardt A10 Speakers - 1 Year Review Gents, my apologies again. I am trying to find time to finish this review. After my last post a few things occurred: 1. My wife and I both got sick. Grandkids... 2. After we felt better we had a family member drop in unannounced, with her teenag... | |
| Buchardt A10 Speakers - 1 Year Review My apologies. I was writing the review and stepped away for a few moments. While I was away Audiogon decided to publish the unfinished review. I'll try to finish it up tonight | |
| Conrad Johnson PV10 used as standalone phono As discussed above, you CAN run the PV-10 as a phono preamp only. But why would you? I have owned and loved many CJ products and I've owned PV-10s and 10Ls. The phono stage in the PV-10 is a basic phono stage for a basic preamp. It's good but not ... | |
| Music Hall Stealth Owners - What Cartridge Are You Using? I tested a Music Hall Stealth with a Grado Sonata 3 cartridge mounted. It was wonderful - sublime and very musical | |
| Replacing Conrad Johnson PV-10 Were it me and if I enjoyed my system I would consider replacing the PV-10 with a Conrad Johnson Classic or (better) Classic 2 SE preamp. Same look, size and similar design to your old PV-10, but the sound is much improved and they were made with ... |
