I have listened to some expensive speakers from B&W, Wilson Audio, Dynaudio, and also owned the SF Amati, you know already. Musically these ones were more musically interesting to me than any of the others, but still weren't something that comple...

Interesting that you post illustrates perfectly the notion of multi-amping advantage. A few years bask when I still was going to all those hi-fi show I proposed a notion that a room that has 50-500Hz properly dialed to a given room has with all ...

[quote user="coops"]I would never presume to make such a claim, regarding active bass,I have heard quite a few systems now where the ( active )bass is very disjointed, Avantgardes for example, and the music just does not flow, but I will discuss your...

Hi Romy, first my apologize for the somewhat confusing reply I posted. The Dunlavy question is not related to the very funny Kharma news you mentioned (which is of course a very sick but brilliant joke! Heheh). I actually have the Dunlavy SC-V a...

hi gregthere is a factor to be considered. a consumer bases his buyings not only regarding quality, but also his budget. if i would be a millionaire, i certainlly would buy the best possible out there available, without regarding pricetag....

high-end self named industries always claim that they serve more than a sound... ye read magazines again they clarify the soundusing the words: MAGIC , GENTLE , HIGH LEVEL , PRESTIGE , more than 20khz clarity ? , ye now go on and measure how MAGIC is...

My Biggest problem is the performance to cost ratio. Twenty years ago I got a pair of Onkyo DM-3 speakers as a present, I think they cost around 200USD at the time. A couple of years ago I could afford a pair of Wilson WP7s, they sounded more "clear"...

Or is the answer very simple, in terms that some people just like tweeters with metal character? I have not heard the Supravox, but it has the usual breakup above the audio band, even a bit stronger than other metal domes, CSD from 4kHz up is not slo...

Ok, let dive a little bit further into my examination of the subject of Lamm ML3
What is important is to undusted that my view less targets the Lamm ML3 but rather it targets the ML3 as a representative of entire class of amplifiers. When I to...

[quote user="Paul S"]Lamm did choose to use some of the driving ideas from his proven SET amp…[/quote]Yes and no. ML3 design wise, as I understand is, in fact is not as interesting amp and it might be otherwise. Vladimir went for the target marke...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] The idea was very simple: to convert the C filter into RC filter, to employ the Silicon Carbide Schottky rectification diodes that showed themselves so nice in 6-ch Melquiades and to beef up the preamp with large bet...

Hi Samuel, I see that quite a few replies without much in the way of suggestions. Romy will not give you what you want, ie. a shopping list of speakers to audition, but I will give you one or two recommendations that I think sound quite good in...

After more than 20 years of playing audio game I think only two things are real game changers. DPOLS and Good AC qualityI do not claim I listened to Wilson Speaker in DPOLS but I am sure it was near DPOLS 14 years ago. I remember for the first time...

Lamm juts announced the “Wold Premier of Lamm ML3 Signature single-ended triode moonoblocks” at CES 2008. It will be paired with large Wilsons in 2500sq feet room. To drive 95dB sensitive speaker with 32W in 2500sq feet is a sizable task but it will ...

I have to say, despite Mike basically co-opting Harry's spotlight, the piece was +/- honest, and I (re)learned a few things.
Something MF makes clear: even HP was not more than a bellwether, once the "industry" really took notice of him.
I'd s...

[quote user="Paul S"]Funny that people think that phase issues just go away with so-called "FR" drivers, which have their own electrical and mechanical phase problems. Of course it doesn't get any "better" with multi-way, multi-amped mega systems......

The 10" "woofer" is well known to "high-end" designers, who love the "fast" bass, and I have to admit that Wilson and Dunlavy (among others) have also managed to get some impressive (at least for a while...) "dynamics" from the little woofers. To lo...

Another Industry Staple is using a Flagship as something like a "spinner" attached to the hook on the end of a fishing line. With the Yvette roll out we hear for the first time that - up to now - Wilson's smaller speakers were - intentionally - ...

just been this feb in NY city to an exclusive Wilson studio. I thought that the rushy noisy exhibitions where their portfolio sounded very average to me was maybe not fair to judge, if everyone loves them so much. So in that studio i got all the time...

Personally I am not interested to talk about reviewers, because it is wasted time (they don't review something, they design a Product Placement and maybe they add that they 'like' it...)But, I really would like to know what situation they describe as...

A guy enters highway upstream and listening to a traffic radio warning that one car is going upstream yells angrily ..."one ??? you fuc..ng morons ?? .. there are hundreds !!". Over the years I was not able to dig up a single bad review of a Schroed...

Romy,I have problems in believing that a noisy clock (the lower-priced CEC drives probably have in contrast to the other drives you mentioned) can do more than covering the faults of the actual implementation (mostly regular time deviations at other ...

Romy,I got your pointmy answer was to Jordi´s post, I just used your answer to quote him and follow the line.I just mean that it is not "true" that, as jordi wrote, a classical pianist is a "worst" performer just for playing classical, or that a jazz...

The only reason I have brought this up is because it is interesting to me when someone with experience, manufacturing capabilities and capital tries to make the best speakers he can, and I have heard and noted the best he can do over many years. And...

I've had about 90% rock and pop music to play, but have saved lots of classical and mainly baroque music from Internet radio lately.It wasn't before a few hours ago that much of that downloaded material became interesting.Today I'm entranced by stuff...

As I grow old and nurse a fragile back, I too have a fantasy of a good sounding, lightweight TT (and amp, speakers for the matter).Every lightweight TT on the market makes me interested for this reason

A “casual” look at full range usually results in 3 or 4 way playback for standard dynamic drivers or horns. There are a handful of “full range” commercial efforts from Edgar, Wilson, JBL, etc that are doing similar things with the range of each chann...
