| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? No mention of BAT 75SE/150SE from anyone?I have owned nearly 20 amps, BAT is the one that stopped me from upgrading even though I still buy interesting gears to try sometimes and always end up selling others.I did not count, but notice KFL has mor... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence 5 vs Harbeth As unpleasant as it sounds, toetapfactor is right about fitting any quality speakers in a square room.C5 works well close to the back wall, you might want to play with speaker placement more or go as far out as having them firing diagonally. If no... | |
| ProAc D28 vs Usher Dancer Mini 2 I had a business trip to Taiwan so visited the Usher flagship store in Taipei while I was there. I had one of the very first pair of Usher BE-718 way before it was discovered by the rest of the world, I enjoyed them for nearly 2 years before I sol... | |
| ProAc D28 vs Usher Dancer Mini 2 I did hear Mini Dancer 1/2 with diamond tweeter.I thought top end extended a bit higher, a bit more airy, and a bit more neutral. compared to BE tweeter, BE possess a sweeter, richer, and more romantic tone while diamond is more neutral and faster... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence 5 vs Harbeth as a former C5 owner, I have owned more than 1 pair of C5, I will caution your move.I don't need to tell you about C5 strength, but I wonder if you have squeezed out the last bit of C5 strength yet. what are you using for amp? C5 are hard to drive... | |
| Sonus Faber Momento V/S Verity Leonore Just because the drivers look alike from outside does not mean they are identical on the inside. Manufactures, at the minimum, will order the drivers to match their box & crossover designs. Often time, they are modified further than stock.I do... | |
| ProAc D28 vs Usher Dancer Mini 2 I have owned smaller (D15) and older (R3.8) ProAc, I have also owned smaller Usher (BE-718) though I have only heard Mini Dancer 1 & 2 in show room both with diamond tweeters.If ProAc still keeps its house sound, a bit warm, a bit sweet, and a... | |
| New Guarneri Memento vs. Old Guarneri Homage room size is 14x18 with speakers on short wall, 5' to 6' from back wall and 8' to 9' apart. almost all speakers are placed in that locations, some minor tweaking are done to optimize each.The room does not have a lot of treatment, sitting close to... | |
| New Guarneri Memento vs. Old Guarneri Homage Was looking for info on what to drive Guarneri Memento to set up a 2nd system and came across this old thread.To answer Daveyf, I was using Sonic Frontiers Line 3SE & BAT 75SE to drive Amati Homage or Guarneri Homage. I have moved up since, bu... | |
| Need a new power amp: Herron vs. Classe/Spectron Have both Spectron and Classe CA400 before, Classe is veil like Michael said and you can tell right away it's a solid state trying to be tube by sounding overly smooth and veil. In another word, failure attempt to mimic tube, at least that's what ... | |
| Pass Labs XA30.5 and ModWright KWA150 As a Spectron owner, it is not tube.I have owned McIntosh MC 501, it's far from a good tube amp.Bottom line, tube rules. I am keeping my BAT 150SE. | |
| Dynaudio Consequence UE some people just can't accept what he owns is not the best on earth. I have owned many, if they are not good enough, they go back on Audiogon. what's the big deal?I will never claim what I own is perfect especially speakers, no speakers are perfec... | |
| Active speakers. What to choose? I have not heard the ATC dome, but I did own Dynaudio Confidence 5 for years which employed their best 2" midrange dome.Midrange was incredible, very life like and detail. micro dynamic was superb. what I didn't like was image lack density and foc... | |
| Active speakers. What to choose? I did have a chance to hear the Rushmore in a very large room, at least 20x25. I was offered a good price, but I walked away because I simply did not hear one thing I like. Muddy bass and lacking detail. It could be the room, but I did move around... | |
| Dynaudio Consequence UE German has proven many times adding an omni directional tweeter or super tweeter can do magic to any speakers, it will also remove lots of room interference issue. I have heard the original Consequence numerous times, having the tweeter place that... |
