| Audio Physics ...Bright or forward? I have to agree with the poster who said that if the AP speakers sound bright, look elsewhere in your system for the cause. I've heard many supposedly great speakers, but few have the sheer musicality and insight that the mid-to-upper level AP spe... | |
| Need Copper Cables for 18ft Runs: Bang for Buck I can't recommend the Speltz Anti-Cables highly enough. VERY reasonably priced, and they outperformed Nordost SPM in my system. A rare case of the hype being entirely justified, and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. | |
| Lived up to or beyond the hype for 2005. Eastern Electric Minimax pre-power, plus a pair of the Anti-Cables (frighteningly good for the money). | |
| 16 ohms speakers- 8 ohms output amp I have to give my thumbs up for the Eastern Electric Minimax power amp. I've got one in my system* driving my newly acquired Avanti IIIs from the 4 ohm outputs. For an 8 watt amp, it really has a surprising control of the big Audiophysics - everyt... | |
| A trick with Scotch Whisky "ecently, on a lark I tried to get the basic flavor of Lagavulin by altering a much cheaper Scotch whisky. The results were suprisingly good. I got about %75 percent of the flavor of Lagavulin for about %30 of the cost."Cough, splutter!!!! Sacrile... | |
| What next after Audio Physic Virgo II I have spent a fair amount of time with Virgo IIs and owned mkIIIs for a couple of years. I've recently moved back to AP after a period of 'downshifting' and I picked up a pair of Avanti mkIII in cherry, 1 year old, for well under half retail. Tha... | |
| Lifespan of speaker crossover components & drivers Thanks. I've no plans to sell these speakers - though never say never, eh? - so I'm looking to get 20 years out of them before they need anything done (though of course I'm sure a recap should be relatively straightforward given the fact that the ... | |
| Review: Resolution Audio Opus 21 Great Northern Sound Mod CD Player Are there any plans for anyone to offer the GNSC mods in the UK? I've an Opus 21 which I think is absolutely great, but maybe it can be better still with this mod? However, I won't send my unit overseas (cost and risk reasons). | |
| whats your idea of loud music. Hmmmm... 8w push pull amp into 89dB 4ohm (3.5min) floorstanders gives me plenty of volume, but I would take quality and musicality of sound over volume any day. In my experience, bigger amps sound a bit dull and sterile at lower volumes, and as I ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I haven't heard a lot of the speakers on the list, but I would like to cast my vote for my current speakers, the Audiophysic Avanti III. I have only had these speakers for two weeks and already they've bettered the best of the other speakers I've ... |
