[quote user="Paul S"] In the "thumbnail review" Marc actually says the ML3 has "greater drive" than the ML2.1, and that it has more/better "ability to propel the music's pace forward". I don't know about the ML2.1, but was not aware that the ML...

I am afraid, I have problems with that forum. Beside that I agree with your judgement, I read it only – and rarely – only with sunglasses. I am absolutely sure, reading that “forum” creates eye cancer.Most wealthy audiophiles have an absolu...

[quote user="stuck.wilson"]one of the most heinous- outside public opinion- is the current state of 'studio recording'- not scrupulous and thorough transparent use of good recording equipment, but the economics-derived aesthetic of ...

[quote user="Stitch"]I listened to those some time ago. It was a full Lamm combo with ML3 + LP2 paired with Wilson Alexandria. This Doc from the WBF Forum never missed a second to tell the world how super this combination is. Above the holy grail. I ...

Let's just pretend for the moment that you haven't heard the particular TAD driver Kevin is using , and consider the possibility that for at least for some portion of its frequency range, it has a tone similar to the S2 - perhaps it uses an alnico ma...

Well, it is very obvious what MiniMe needs. The speaker is begging for multiamping. The speaker has 2 distinctly different sections. The HF section has 4-5db higher sensitivity and SET friendly. The LF section needs 100W of output impedance that deal...

[quote user="haralanov"] I’m still in the world of direct radiators and I’m looking for the ultimate midbass channel solution. At this time it’s still impossible to build a horn of this size so my purpose is to find the next most good sounding soluti...

Actually it is very possible that it might be so. I made some rudimental measurements and concluded that RAAL tweeter and JBL midrange mounted in the same baffle has non-perfect time aliment. So, I will need to use gaskets under the drivers to time-a...

Good summary, Markus, I would add a few more reasons but what is the point. The key is that bass from back loaded horns is dipole by nature or has a large dipole region. The back loaded horns produce bass similar in behavior of Sun during winter:...

Hi Romy, OK ill give you an idea: 1. The Vox Olympian. When i first visited, they played gentle music and classic. I was paralyzed by its ability to accentuate details like the touch-sound of piano solos (keys, pedal, hammer, body-borne etc). Or emot...

Sometimes we have luck when we listen to a System and we can have the illusion of - more or less - pure music realism, but the majority of Systems are sophisticated hi-fi.Not enough, the more expensive the components are, the better dressed the sales...

[quote user="Knightcrawler"] The 1808 was designed for a large vented enclosure. Just looking at the TS numbers would indicate a large vented box to be best. It also worked well in horn loaded designs as well. [/quote]I did not says what it was desig...

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...

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...

[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...

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...

user="rowuk"]What can we expect from a 6 figures system? [/quote]
Rowuk,
this is very interesting question and much more complex than you might think.
The presumption is that if we look at 1/4 million dollars playback system then
we sh...

I chose the EdgarHorns for fairly simple reasons. I have listened to them and I loved the way they sound. They are not the perfect loudspeaker, but they make much truer music than what I have now. Also, the price I paid is less than...

The last nigh we went to book store – the wify wanted to buy UK traveling guide and I glanced the September Stereophile magazine. It had two interesting artless – Art Dudley look like publicly was loosing his virginity about horns and Mike Framer had...

Since in a couple of week I will be diving into the subject of constriction of my own listening room I do pay attention of what other talks/do about their rooms. Here is the Mike Malinowski’s room trip:

[quote user="Gregm"] Apparently Siemens was making stereo recordings in the early '40s already. BTW, I have a reedition of a Beethoven piano 5 (Gieseking-Rother-SO of the 3rd Reich!!) from '44 if I remember correctly. It's stereo...[/quote]Gregm...

I was beginning to wonder if I'd ever get the new listening room checked out electrically and the new system ground installed, etc., but I finished this work yesterday, including a soldered-rather-than-clamped ground wire-to-rod connection. ...

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...

[quote user="Manuel"] …. however there´s also more jazz than Terrasson or Cassandra Wilson, for example it´s not easy to make the reproduction of an intense passage of a plain jazz piano trio sound like it should be. [/quote]
The problem is that “ja...

[quote user="ygoh"] 1.) Why is it that you do not support using teo compression drivers in the same throat? Is the distortions increases, such as wavefront distortion? [/quote]Sure the wavefront gets spread; it is what Wilson does in his ...

Manuel, I think you missed the whole point of my post.
I did not say that musicians being better than others just based on the music they play, although I might see rational for some people, including me, to advocate this point. However, in context...

Your response indicates some presumption to me, as much as mine indicated to you. In my experience it is practically NEVER only ONE issue involved -- B U T, one would in my experience try to isolate where the most immediate benefit might be f...

Romy,no, I am not one of those who bash Wilson. I respect his work, his business and his products. I listened to some of his models a few times, but this here is about reviewers...I am a little bit frustrated. I am a customer who want to go ahead, wh...

I do not feel that there is any mystery in Wilson’s bass – they sound as they shall – like crappy ported speakers and it is very unfortunate in my view. David Wilson ether do not know what and how he is listening or know very much what he does but ca...
