| most accurate loudspeakers.... Dear Beemerrider,I totally agree with you. The room and the speaker system have to be one organism. You cannot have one box playing in another box and hope for accuracy. You will only get higher and higher levels of audiophilia in conventional aud... | |
| What are the best monitor speakers for classical? If you plan to go the speaker-sub route, then go for the Manger Swing. It has all the qualities that are required for a small room setup and can still end up sounding huge. It looks great too. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Not that I want to upset anyone, but I just heard the top of the line MBL setup(with the new 4 tower reference speaker) at the Munich show a couple days ago, forget live music , it was ordinary hifi at best, and was beaten by several systems costi... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I just heard the custom monitoring system at Focus Recordings in Denmark designed by Ole Lund Christensen, and came to the conclusion that all other hi-fi stuff I have experienced earlier, were mere toys compared to this setup. | |
| Anyone familiar with the Manger driver? Dear D-edwards,I was really kicked about reading the projest you did 7 years ago.I too am thinking about a Manger based project but using the opposite path,utmost simplicity.A 400 cycle 1st order x-over using two Scanspeak 18W/8546-00 for the lowe... | |
| Anyone familiar with the Manger driver? I believe Mangers have been used in PA applications in Germany.You should find out from your local dealer how Manger has gone about doing this.Sphere. | |
| What dynamic spkr. did you go to from electrostat? I will say it once more, GamuT Audio L5.Sphere. | |
| Adam Audio of Germany You should hear the new SA7, with the Precision Devices woofers,just made for the film industry in Bollywood.The most amazing aspect was that all 7 drivers sounded like one,an amazing feat for such a large speaker.Plus the damn thing went devastat... | |
| Difference between B&W 800N/SIG and B&W800D Dear Leonx,The 800d uses a diamond tweeter,great marketing if you ask me,because it sounds so dull and lifeless.Now some would say that is because it is so smooth,I say crap, because it does not sound like a cymbal,triangle,bells etc,nor does it a... | |
| Difference between B&W 800N/SIG and B&W800D The older 800Sig outstrips the 800D in every aspect of playback.The truth is that the audio press does not have the guts to say so.I have heard both these loudspeakers, and can say that the 800Sig is an all time great loudspeaker design while the ... | |
| What dynamic spkr. did you go to from electrostat? The Gamut L5 no doubt.This loudspeaker has the impulse response of an electrostatic device,I am not kidding.A French audio magazine measured the speaker and I was shocked seeing the impulse response of the L5,few planars could come close to it.Oh ... | |
| Best MONITORS availables I haven't heard the Gamut L3,but judging from the L5 I can assume that the smaller speakers must be a cracker.I think you should try them in a all Gamut setup though.Sphere. | |
| LS3/5. What do u think ...the best match In response to what figore states,there is an extremely brilliant audioguru who works in Excel HiFi in HONG KONG,he matches his LS3/5a with the Futterman OTL monoblocks,and this is a guy with access to any audio gear he wishes to have.Sphere. | |
| Replacement speakers for Meadowlark The top the line Meadowlark and Xavian XN 360 have a lot in common.The biggest differences are the woofers and type of bass loadings used.If you are looking for TL based loudspeakers,then do check out http://www.aos-lautsprecher.de/english/studio1... | |
| Waveguide Loudspeakers The best high frequencies I have heard from a waveguide loaded unit was undoubtedly the Gryphon Trident.Absolutely neutral and completely character free.Sphere. |
