| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often @kota1 Why do you think the boutique (like Paradigm) and high end manufacturers make their own drivers? For quality control. When Accuton drivers are ordered by high enders they specify the parameters, have the drivers altered to meet their spec... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often @kota1 I disagree. As to obtaining the true stereophonic sound of a recording based on a stereophonic mastered recording, only two speakers are required and only two speakers are generally used in mastering. The quality of the speakers, associa... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often @ditusa Thank you. So it is rather rare to build foam core drivers then. That was my point rather than no one else does it. Maybe no one does it the same either as Zellaton uses Dr. Podszus method. As to why most speaker manufacturers use "... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often @mijostyn I disagree concerning the statement drivers are a dime a dozen. Sure ,a field coil driver is so cheap everyone can use them. NOT! I’ve been investigating boutique (but not small) speakers which have unique design and fabricated in the sh... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often @kota1 Absolutely. The only reason I would need a center channel is if I was able to playback a R2R 3 channel recording, such as a Mercury Living Presence, DGG classical and a few other labels which put out Blu-ray 3 channel recordings. Otherwi... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often @kota1 I finally ended my 20 year affair with stat speakers with ML Monolith IIIs and Requests (2nd system). Despite my former room size of 25X23X11.5 vaulted, the Monolith sucked. 26 years ago, I met my wife who hated the speakers as beamy, la... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often @soix Your choices are welcome and two of the three that I heard, are excellent speakers for the most part. The Joseph Audio Pearl, Usher TD20, Vandersteen Kento, and Boenicke W13 SE were heard or are known to have the qualities that I am not loo... | |
| Class A integrated amp recommendations EAR 834 and 8L6 are push pull class A tube amps that a very musical sounding an new, are affordably priced around $6750. Both are 50 watts and play well into most speakers (not those with multiple really big woofers with low impedances based on m... | |
| The mistake armchair speaker snobs make too often Especially Kenjit and a few others who base retail price on parts costs. Ridiculous. I am most interested in upgrading my Legacy original Focus speakers in a high end system with my hopefully final speakers after 50 years of about a dozen spea... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum I am sorry for your loss/bad experience. It is the reason that I do not want to buy an expensive high end cartridge (last was a $3000 Benz Ruby 3 I bought new for $1800 or $2000 in 2006). Now I use a Dynavector 20X2 L (had the D2 and XX1 in the ... | |
| As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This? My first audiophile equipment was a Sony 366 reel to reel tape recorder which I asked my parents for after my bar mitzvah (my friends received $3K to $5K in cash gifts, I got $300 during the Hong Kong Flu season-invested in stock market until 19).... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights My LP turntable is a VPI TNT VI on a Townshend Seismic Sink (with super platter, VPI power controller, highly modified SME IV arm, Zesto Allesso SUT, etc). I tried VPI and an all copper exterior ring (latter used for a few very warped LPs) and VPI... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" I used a VPI 16.5 since 1981 (with 28,500 LPs and 7,000 78s). Various solutions were used including one which used ethyl alcohol for LPs as well. Lastly Disc Doctor. Then I began using the Kirmuss US with drying in the VPI. With many used LPs,... | |
| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! I see there are four other Legacy speaker owners. I have Signature IIIs in my living room and Focuses in my main listening room hooked up to a high end system in a high end custom listening room. The Focus speaker, for the price used (even in 20... | |
| Better Records vs MoFi I’ll let everyone in another secret, if one doesn’t know already. CDs don’t all sound alike, even though they could be from the same master digital copy. Especially from different pressing plants. I’ve been through sometimes six copies of a favori... |
