Anyone know where in NY area I can audition Usher?
This article highlights the quality that goes into Usher speakers. I'm not shilling for them but I'm actually considering Usher speakers for myself and have been doing some research on them...http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:6uyB8J84pJMJ:www.so... 
Anyone know where in NY area I can audition Usher?
With China at the cutting edge of technology, I think it's outdated to refer to so-called cheap parts from China. Plus, doesn't Usher supply drivers to Von Schweikert,which, if so, points to the quality of their drivers. I just think it's putting ... 
Fingers Crossed That Julius Makes Me A Parlando
I see Julius and David Belles as two men of great talents and tremendous integrity. Both could cynically sell their products for double, maybe triple the price and probably make a mint, but their consciences would not allow it. But, Julius is reti...

Thanks, Uppermidfi. 
PMC IB1 Vs. Harbeth M40
Jaybo, could you elaborate? Have you auditioned both speakers? Thanks 
Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They?
Here is a picture of the smaller Daedalus DA2 speaker which shows the dovetailing at one of the edges of the cabinets. My father made cabinets as a hobby and I know how difficult it is to do dovetailing properly.http://www.daedalusaudio.com/DA-2.html 
Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They?
Lou is the only speaker maker I know of who uses real hard-wood and also dovetails the corners. This is unheard of workmanship, where even the most expensive speakers have MDF. This impresses me no end because he could have "cut corners" and nobod... 
Thiel CS 2.4 Vs. Harbeth M40?
The Harbeth has a more romantic sound, is warmer, and sounds fuller (like real music does in front of the orchestra). The Thiel is more a design from the head. Thanks for your comparison. If I can pursue this: If Thiel is, as is their reputation, ... 
Best MONITORS availables
I liked my old Platinum speakers from Phil Jones, but his new monitors are $9,000! 
Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They?
Beautiful review, thanks for sharing. I have the DA 1 and 2 on my short list, although I am a little uncomfortable with no-name drivers and the secrecy over the XO. But, it's all in the listening. Enjoy 
New Acoustic Zen Adagio loudspeakers
My dealer, who has been in the audio business for 30+ years, and who has seen it and heard it all (mostly unimpressed with what he has heard), was extremely impressed with the Acoustic Zen speakers and placed an order. 
Dartzeel amp lives up to hype
As long as dissenters are posting, an audio dealer whom I know who has been in the business for 3 decades+, and who really has golden ears and also can sell the amp if he chooses, heard it an was less than impressed. He says it was blown away by o... 
Your Opinion: Coincident Vs. Silverline?
Thanks for your replies and advice. I have since spoken rather extensively with Alan Yun, owner of Silverline, and Alan adamantly says that his speakers CAN be placed close to the rear wall, as long as you leave about 5 inches or so from the wall;... 
Question For Von Schweikert VR4 Jr Owners
Thanks, guys, for your good advice. 
What Speakers Do Audio Insiders Own?
Studioray,many thanks for your insightful post. It gives me great pause to wonder: If studio engineers are not using "audiophile-grade" speakers, then might it be likely that the original recording is highly "inaccurate" and flawed. If so, is it n...
