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...

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....

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...

Hi Romy,I've been reading GSC for some time, because I hope to find and learn some different audio perspectives. Untill now I never posted anything because of my total ignorance about horn speakers. But i've heard some wilson audio's a couple of time...

For the first time My friend attended munich show 2023 and he listened to all of those systems.He did not like the sound of those systems and even super expensive systems like wilson Benesch Ypsilon were awful .He told me what is happening in this in...

I agree with your thoughts. Current High End is to audio like Haute Couture is to fashion. You actually pay for something that a designer decided you may need (in fact he gives a damn if you need it or not always you buy it), and you take it as is, p...

People who frequent at my site know my constant intend to assess performance of audio before even thinking to make any changes:

Approaching from this mindset I always ask people who buy n...

I still find that what Polymer Audio is reasonable if to take under consideration what they are. The Polymer Audio try to appeal for a totally different segment of prospective customers – the Robb Report reading and the sleazy Rolexes wearing y...

It is pointless to talk about the advantages of high sensitivity in loudspeakers. Everyone understands it and still it is mostly a terra incognito area in audio. There are very few more or less properly performing high sensitivity loudspeakers or dri...

This weekend I was told that there is a new power conditioner out there: Dmitri from Running Springs Audio. I never heard the company and have no idea that they are, what they do and what the stand for.
A quick search lead me to number of posi...

Stitch, I hope you talk not about Wilsons but about the cretins who write the stupid stories about them. Wilsons do what they do and what they do is OK. Sure the Wilsons, as anything else have own problems but those problems are never get pointed out...

A Federated Mike started his new venture ultimist.com, the portal where he feel people would like to go to do “purchase research”. Those poor audio dealers do not get that someone might have interests in audio outside the brands, shopping and nee...

Hm, the example with Wilson is much more complicated then you think. Wilson are very much misunderstood and mis-presented products. From certain prospective they well worth their money. Still, in context of this thread: problem with Wilson is not Wil...

There is a young new “reviewer” Jacob Heilbrunn who spread his “wisdom” about Wilson speakers:

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...

Hi everyone,First, thank you for all your advices. The university take many most of my time, so listen to speaker had been difficult.So......I come back with many things too tell, i have made some listening sessions to find a good speaker to work wit...

hi romyi disagree totally with your point of view regarding audio industry. i think first of all, what this all is abought, is to have fun listening to music. and it is VERY subjective, what is good sound reproduction, and what is not. if someone doe...

Yeah, and I once thought Krell was the way to go, a boy's (or a man's) dream when I saw pictures of the KSA 100 poweramp for the first time. I must admit that in 1991 I heard a demo with Krell KAS poweramps, Wilson WATT/Puppy's + Pow Wow subwoofer an...

I'll refrain from commenting on the performance of the Alexandria; I've heard it once and am willing to keep an open mind on the grounds that the installation may not have been correctly set up; it was at an audio show paired with Audio Research gear...

[quote user="Stitch"]Btw. I think the ML3 is a good sounding amp.[/quote] I do not think that the absolute quality of ML3 is a subject or a question. This quality is not known to people out there, very much like it is unknown to the most of ML3 owner...

That is I always was interested - why we never hear about Audio from the richest Arab countries? I was looking recently at the log of my site and saw a number of recent visitors from there. It would be interesting to hear about audio environment in t...

At the light of my trip to Philadelphia I paced a phone call to Peter Breuninger who reportedly lives in the town of the “brotherly love”. Peter Breuninger had found Philadelphia Audio Society years back and I presume is alocal Philadelphia audio guy...

Firstly, thank you to Montepilot, Paul S, KLegind, zanon and Romy for all your thoughts on the Zu Druids. I recently tried high-passing the Druids at various frequencies and using a pair of Wilson-Benesch Chimeras and various amps for LF and uppe...
|
Looking at the drivers, and the range of adjustments, it appears that Wilson have done some things that make more sense than usual, at least to me. The MTM drivers can easily be set for "time alignment", which should help to cope with Wilson's "noto...

Stitch, When I hear people defend audio reviewing in present form (as most of the industry establishment do) or offend it (as I do) I think they both miss the point. I was truly laughing reading the comments after the Jacob Heilbrunn’s post where all...

el`Ol,it is quite fascinating how well you depicted (listening to WP 8!) what I heard, listening to some 5.xI.E. "some characteristic shining or radiance probably induced by the breakup of carbon-doped paper cones in combination with the anorganic-pa...
