Recently there was probably nothing as low in audio as the BS surrounded Kharma loudspeakers. Each single step Kharma takes is further and further in-depth Kharma into the realm of bogusness. It is not that I find that “Kharma the Manufacturer” or “K...

After spending two weeks with high-passed Celestion SL-600 reinforced with external LF section I would like to make some observations. I had a single SL-600 monitor (I always tend to use one for assessment purpose) on it’s original stands in the very...

[quote user="Stitch"]Magico started very fast from unknown brand to a very well known brand. They must have investors that they can afford the marketing (I guess). Family business manufacturers can not afford that, no matter how good their products a...

I think that we need some standard interfaces on our playback gear to log operating parameters. Temperature, Gm, current, voltage. On loudspeakers maybe temperature/impedance, for digital playback I would like to see jitter, correction, transcoding e...

What did you know; I was in Barnes & Noble and bought a first for quite long time September TAS magazine. I do not subscribe audio publications but seldom buy them. Since I did not do it for as long time I though it will be entertaining. It...

All those vintage speakers are not interesting. Among the contemporary loudspeakers, I also to do not know anything that I would consider unarguably worthy.
The main point off of this exercise is to let people to think about the opportunity or possi...

Hi ROMY Most manufacturers are DIYERS in the begining It really does'nt take much become a manufacturer.Is classical music the only true form of musial expression I think not.Loudspeakers are expressive tool of music all kinds not jus...

..., thanks for the link. Although I do not agree with few of your conclusions (surprise?) but the core of the problem caught quite illustratively. A few days ago a local guy called me and complained that his $22.000 2-channel loudspeakers use a chea...

I made the 543rd remodeling on the Opera room and move the video playback equipment to the new, I hope the last location. As I connected everything into PP2000 as it use to be (not PP2000+) but older not “Plus” version than I have some light MF buzzi...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I think this requires me to raise my voice as I feel that this presumption is very common and unfortunately very mistaken. Melquiades might NOT be a solution... A person should evolve his reference points and his assessmen...

I long suppposed the whole thing hinged on a sort of dither effect, like the PurePower thingee. And I think this is at least some of what happens with "injection channels", including the root concept of what we are actually discussing in this thread...

Hi!English's not my mother language so I'd have advices to choose wich Melquiade could be the best for me...I read that there's a lot of different versions...and I wasn't able to email Romy because of the robot barrier.I've very good 95db Fullrange B...

The Audiogon leader: “Oosterum Loudspeaker Systems”, the Netherlands manufacturer responsible for the Kharma loudspeakers, recently announced that they terminate the long-term relationships with corporation “Toys R Us”. The founded Charles van Ooster...

I have a lot of places within my site where I, in one or other way, spread propaganda about horn-loaded loudspeakers. Frankly speaking, if I were an “ordinary audiophile” then I would look at the Romy the Cat’s exuberance about horns and perceive it ...

Why do you care what Robert Harley, TAS or the people from Magico have to say?Why does it matter whether the reputation of horn loaded loudspeakers gets sullied in some way by these people? No manufacturer that I know of does it properly anyway. The ...

[quote user="Gregm"]Actually, that could be a viable commercial product: a "stereo am"p allowing for four channels. One hi side, one low side, per channel.Any moron purchasing this could be stratosphrically happy flabbergasting his pals by "passively...

In this thread there was a conversation about the way to manage the DAW remotely, from handheld devises, via sophisticated remote controls or running a remote desktop from a laptop. That all good but a few days back I was visited a local guy what dem...

Too true, Steve. As it happens, the distance between sidewalls just in front of my speakers is over 50 feet, and a wide hallway opens to large rooms along and at the end of its course. I have said all along in my The Loudspeakers thread that an "ongo...

What is very interesting that this box loudspeakers behave kind of strange. For instance near field does not work as a effectively as with horns. With horns the closer you to the speakers, the more aggressively you are in your field the more direct s...

I heard the Audio Note AN-Es, they were pushed back into the cornes in specially prepared room and they wer very interesting. Dynamics were world class, cellos were extremely hairy, piano left hand was tremendous, everything you said. Still, the elec...

Moreart, you took it all wrong. No one is trying to delete you. I delete idiots, you are not idiot. You are trying to advocate the listening concepts and loudspeakers design that are not exactly supported by visitors of this site and by my personally...

[quote user="Paul S"]Amir, I think there are still "acceptable" "commercial" components (including speakers) still "out there", depending on how they are used; it's just a matter of finding and getting ahold of them. In any case, building up an integ...

Romy can you tell us what you thought of the Zu loudspeakers, I spent an afternoon in their company recently, they were being used with a 25 watt PP Luxman, I believe.

Keith, you are increasingly boring with you absolutely unhealthy interests in audio. What going to be next – you will be adding the Zu loudspeakers to your product line and promote them that "the Cat did not shit on them"? If you still do not underst...

Well, I can not refuse myself in pleasure to post a picture (by Gismodo) of the $98K Mandarin Supreme speaker. BTW, how did they sound? BTW, as I understand our friend Lamm was smart and he put his ML3 on silent display in order do not demonstrate “h...
