Review: Krell Resolution 2 Speaker
It's great that you are reviewing a speaker that is quite new on the market and, thus, unknown to many of us. How much did they cost? How big are they? Also, could you describe the dimensions of your room? I would like to get an idea of how versat... 
Full Range Speaker $15-$20000 Range?
I'll second the Vandersteen 5A's: I have over 2000 CD's (including about 75 SACD's) and about 2500 LP's -- 98% are classical. Rameau to Revueltas, Dufy to Dutilleux, Praetorius to Prokoviev...hell, I love 'em ALL, and LOUD! I have season tickets t... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
I loved Mejames' Genesis speakers, with the big VTL AMPS running directly into a top-of-the-line Wadia, when I delivered some speakers to his house. But I didn't get to play classical, just jazz. I have heard most of the speakers on this list, und... 
Verity Audio Tamino - Smooth?
I think extended high frequency response, without etch, yet still airy and silky, is the TOUGHEST act in audio to pull off. This may be the reason why we all seem to be drawn to tubed electronics, in spite of their bother and (in all but the most ... 
Review: Triangle Volante 260 Speaker
sgreen, In a sense, you are absolutely correct. I have heard $120,000 Wilsons, $90,000 JM Labs, and, of course, the $80,000 Dynaudios (I bought them for less than a third of that price, used): none of them "sounded like music at all."None. To get ... 
Review: Triangle Volante 260 Speaker
Eee3: thanks for the tip about turn-on! I might well have turned them on together. I take it, you mean turn one on, leave it on long enough for the caps to fill and settle, then turn the other one one, right? Since my current cables are rigged for... 
Review: Alon Model I Speaker
Ferrari, I noticed you used a CD recording of "Peter and the Wolf" in your review. I have an extra vinyl copy (Vanguard, with Will Geer as the narrator...on the other side is Britten's "Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra"). I have many versions... 
Review: Triangle Volante 260 Speaker
Thanks, Eee3...I may try it with the Musical Fidelity A3.2cr: I checked the instruction manual after reading your second post. These power amps have line output jacks on the back, just like a preamp. All you do is get another set of interconnects ... 
Review: Triangle Volante 260 Speaker
Thanks for your comments. Maybe I didn't define "character" precisely enough. When you think of "character" as the distinctive tone, or timbre, of a system, as opposed to "quality," which would bring excellence, or truth to the source into play, I... 
Looking for a Speaker in the $15,000 Range
Since Avalon's introduction of the "Diamonds," I have noticed quite a few Eidolons on sale in the $10,000-$14,000 range. I actually like these better than the newer Diamonds, in the set-ups I have heard (I've never heard them together, in the same...
