| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? sciencecop,You’ve got to be kidding.So in response to my post, you are giving a link to one speaker manufacturer’s claims for "why our design is better?????"As if that weren’t standard for pretty much every manufacturer/speaker designer to claim?T... | |

| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? It seems to me that Wilson speakers have for a while now entered a bit of a renaissance in terms of the feelings they engender in the high end community. It used to be that Wilson was everyone's favourite whipping boy - that paradigm of the "rea... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? schubert,"Rich timbre" is not a description I personally would give the Totem line.I've always found they had a superficially attractive sound - those sparkly highs allied to a deeper coloured midrange, but their completely obvious contouring of t... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers HEADS UP for Devore Fans:From the Devore Fidelity Facebook page, it looks like Devore will be showing the new "all out" upgrade of the 0/96 speakers at the upcoming Rocky Mountain Audio Fest.Looks like a new tweeter, as well as what looks like a s... | |
| Thiel Owners sandy,I put up mine favouring local sale, but it was actually easier to sell them non-locally as I got a lot of interest from people all over. As it was made clear in my ad hat buyer pays shipping everyone inquiring knew this and many wanted to a... | |
| Thiel Owners sandydennis11,When I put my 3.7s up for sale recently I got quite a lot of interest.(Of course, as usual, a bunch of it was flakey, but I did sell them relatively quickly). | |
| Speed kills.... My present speakers are hales t8's (hales has been out of business a long time ago) and they are about as far away from that ideal as you can get. Wait...are you saying you think the Hales T8's are "slow" with transients or something? I sure w... | |
| Gaia do magic to my speaker Something to remember when trying these isolation devices, footers, spikes etc: Changing the height of the speaker in of itself, even by a tiny amount, can change the sound for the listener, as it changes the angle of the tweeter/drivers etc rel... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthielI would love to see such a list of ’best Thiel amps’. While I’ve had SS amps of various types, including the Bryston 4B SST for a while (driving various speakers, including Thiel CS6), I’m ultimately a tube amp guy. So my addition to the ... | |
| Thiel Owners I’m sitting here listening to vinyl on my 2.7s (Eddie Kendrick collection, among many others I’ve spun today) and the sound is so smooth, even, spacious, yet focused and punchy. That palpability the Thiels do is so mesmerizing, like a drum kit and... | |
| Thiel Owners Dave,Great story and it's wonderful to read how happy you are with the 2.4s. | |
| Small dedicated listening rooms One of the best high end sounds I ever heard were big MBL 101D speakers situate in a room that was hilariously small, truly "closet-like" and I think smaller than the OPs. But they were essentially nearfield, and the room well treated.I've heard... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Wish I could update the thread with impressions of my new speaker.But still got nuthin'.As I indicated previous, I had finally decided after my last listening comparison that I'd go for the Joseph speakers. I had saved up partially for them over ... | |
| A brief review of 15 high-end speakers on home demo including B&W, Boenicke, Magico,Wilson I have to say the most surprising-to-me description was for the Audio Physic Codex speaker: " But it lacked depth, the music was coming from a flat plane."Something had to be wrong with the set up. If there is a singular feature running through pr... |
