"American Sound" Speakers
I believe the time of "British Sound" has come and gone. As technology improves we all are listening to more accurate. There certainly isn't a Chinese, Danish, Japanese or German sound. That laid back mid range still exist and we think of that as ... 
Do you listen alone or with guest s
I am with Hotmailjbc, My family and friends probably thing of me as the audio authority, but really don't want to discuss it. Occasionally I'll hear "you should hear Tim's tunes" or rarely my wife will want to hear a song she might like that I was... 
How to shop for speakers?
Thanks Al, I had quoted my buddy Ed above, he had told me pretty much the same as you, saying no one on the forum has argued this in absolute terms and it really doesn't matter in the context that you are using it and overall would do nothing to f... 
How to shop for speakers?
Hi Honest1, Agreed, I understand where you are coming from. I don't understand the argument. Sensitivity is rated @ 1 watt 1 meter regardless of a speakers impedance, as everyone has discussed above. It takes varying degrees of voltage to derive t... 
Amp for Dahlquist DQ-10
Hi Laffer, I recommend that you do everything that you can to audition Adcom gear with your DQ10's. We have all learned the hard way that all of our ears are different, but for me, there is no question that I would develop fatigue fairly quickly ... 
How close to the real thing?
I've seen a few say that they play in bands... I don't play in bands, but I have done sound for a half dozen and still do sound regularly in churchs. My experience is that amplified live venues or music that goes through a mixing board really shou... 
I am openning a shop. What equipment should I sell
Thanks Weseixas, Tim 
How to shop for speakers?
I emailed my friend that owned SpeakerCraft/Marcof Electronics, he has designed a ton of raw drivers for several different people. As an off shoot of this discussion we were discussing how we have chosen an 8 or 15 inch driver for the same design ... 
Battle of affordable pre-amps: Rotel vs Parasound
I'd rather listen to the Parasound...More accurate. 
Transmission Line Bass
I have heard very good bass all types of inclosures, including Transmission Lines, as it has been alluded to here already, the line can be quite long and quite frankly, the transmission line enclosure is the toughest to get right. I believe that i... 
I am openning a shop. What equipment should I sell
Hi Weseixas, I wasn't trying to sound offensive, I guess that I felt challanged. I want to add, that we had one of our employees branch out and became fairly popular in his own right modding amps preamps and such, he is still in our area and still... 
I am openning a shop. What equipment should I sell
Hi Weseixas, I don't know what you are trying to infer, but Marcof Electronics/SpeakerCraft was in Webster Groves Mo. 63119, we also made several electronics and were fairly well known in the late 70's to early 80's. Ed Martin the owner is still o... 
How close to the real thing?
I guess it is all perspective, I can tell you that on the small jazz ensemble that I told above. Instrument placement is outstanding as is height and width, the realism of the instruments also right on. I have had more comments than I care to ment... 
How close to the real thing?
Depends on the music, setting and venue. I was in a very upscale hotel recently that had a jazz trio, bass, sax & piano. They were playing music that I was very familiar with and I was feeling quite good about how well my systems sounds compar... 
Amp for Dahlquist DQ-10
The GFP565 is known to be Adcom's best standard line product, however the GFP750 is not their standard line product, it was contracted by Nelson Pass, there are a ton of threads and arguments about it here on Audiogon, but any way you look at it, ...
