| the one that got away - how do you handle grief? @parkergetdean I’m here not to give you life advice… but to commiserate with you. I too know the pain of “ the one that got away” :-) I have two of them : In the early 2000s I encountered MBL 101 Omnis at a CES show and I had never he... | |
| Back to Hales (Transcendence 5) @ohlala One reason I bought the premier 12 mono blocks is that they would allow me to use tubes with plenty of speakers otherwise would be paired with solid state amplifiers. That includes big power hungry Thiels as well as other s... | |
| Back to Hales (Transcendence 5) Hales fans unite! @ohlala Great to see you found your way back to Hales and it’s working out. My personal preference is Hales with push pull tube amplifiers. I’m a big fan of Hales and I still own some of the loudspeakers. I rem... | |
| If It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It I have found that usually when somebody was banned from ASR, they were banned for a pretty good reason :-) that said: @xmbw4 — “I challenge anyone to look at all of ASR’s reviews and find a single instance where he used something t... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers For Joseph audio fans, I was just reading a Retailer website From the UK, In which the writer does a fantastic job describing the sound of The pulsar and the perspective speakers: https://www.lotushifi.co.uk/joseph-pulsar-2-perspective-2/ ... | |
| What speaker is the most musical, one you never want to sell? Well, the term “ musical” is notoriously squishy and is often just an audiophile stand in for “ I really like the sound of this component.” So to define “musical” in terms of how I might use it, I would say it expresses: having a ple... | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant —- “Over the years I have had Audioquest, Cardas, MIT, Straighwire and Transparent cabling pass through here.— OK, but why are you still telling me about cables? I’ve already pointed out I don’t care about the cables. I’ve b... | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant ok… I admit I remain unclear and sort of confused as to your situation. You started this thread about 10 years ago But, while you’ll talk about cabling, there’s been so little input from you in terms of listening impressions etc wi... | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant Generally speaking the room, size and speaker orientation you describe should sound very good in an average room . How is it sounding? Maybe I missed it but : Are you reporting this because you’ve moved to a new listening ... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @steve59 That’s hilarious . Your impressions are so completely different from mine. Out of curiosity, have you ever seen a pair of Perspectives close up? I’m not sure what it is about their design that makes you think it looks like a k... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @theswede77 Several years ago, I heard one of the JMR floor standing loudspeakers at a show and then I was able to listen to it more at my leisure add an audio dealer. I can’t remember which model it’s called but it’s one of the ones with the ... | |
| Speaker height...should known better I’ve raised my Joseph audio perspective 2 speakers up higher since I bought them. They are only 36 inches high , significantly shorter than my other Thiel 2.7 (and previous 3.7) speakers. I never felt that the sound stage was shortened or... | |
| When does a speaker stopped being a speaker and becomes a piece of art! As it happens, I own my two favourite all-time speakers in terms of aesthetics. To me they are works of art. My Joseph Perspective Graphene: https://i.postimg.cc/HnBN1TFF/IMG-3862.webp And my Thiel 2.7s in Tiger Ebony, both of them hi... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @avanti1960 yup. Following your progress over there :-) Thanks for dropping by this thread. Very curious how it works out. Especially since I seriously considered that model as well. | |
| Thiel Owners Wow, that’s an incredible amount of fascinating insider information! And unfortunately, as depressing as I imagined … actually even more so. I mean, immediately firing Kathy? Someone with such deep knowledge and expertise in running ... |
