Let me to explain how it started. It is well know that being a Dentist is in a blood of any Jewish boy and Alon Wolf was no exception. When he was little, the local kids teased that he might grow up without a dentist license and the little Alon was r...

hi mikei heard the avalons at the factory of a manufacturer of wonderful tube amplifiers in italy, http://www.angstromresearch.com/pre_ita.html ( certainly these guys would make big success in the states, if they were able to produce more than 5...

I know Lamm is not in the business of making speakers, but from my point of view, they are missing more than just one opportunity here.
Rather than addressing the lack of excellent, high sensitivity speakers by offering a more powerful amp, would...

My experience is limited, but I tried it a few times (300B, 845, OTL ...) with 8 ohm Speakers, 92dB and a crossover, which is simple and never got a result which was close to a high sensitive speaker (98dB ...), no breathing, no air, Headroom was lim...

You may be even more right than you know. Going up the Grado line in $$$ you get more and More and MORE HF.: P...

ya i got your drift. if i can trust my initial reaction(in terms of how to articulate my idea) then my objective is a sound/performance i have in my head. I don't really expect completion but i do expect the periods of "good enough" to get longer as ...

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...

[quote user="morricab"] Used Wilson X1 Grand SLAMM. Not the best speaker but dynamic like a horn and less colored than most horns. Use with good tube amps and it makes a superb sound (with 95db/watt sensitivity and an easy load 30 watts is probably s...

Hello, i have read that you are gonna sell your own product?Is it true? can we know more about it?...

Steinway speakers? Why not! Another long-established piano manufacturer, Bosendorfer, are actually making their own speakers that pretend to be pianos - they have resonating boards attached to their sides!You might imagine that...

Hello Paul,I'm going to check if I can easely find a way to listen to the Alon lotus SE and the harbeth....I have heard the parsifal ovation with bass unit, -for me- they have no dynamics, very difficult to manage and at lower volume they are a shame...

Hi all,This thread has been a facinating read for me, and has prompted me to resurrect my old Celestion SL600 speakers.But their copper dome tweeters are looking (and sounding) rather worse for wear.Does anyone know where I could source them from?Any...

“Reviewers” speak confidently about the various parts of
cited musical compositions, and in many cases I believe they hear what they say
they do. I think it is not only listening experience that bears this fruit, but
it might also be a gift, a...

Checking if you playback can discriminate absolute polarity is very simple and very effective way to find out if you acoustic system is not fundamentally faulty. Flip the polarity and monitor the result. If you did not experience dramatic changes at ...

Amir, I have shared that I quite liked the (original) Audiopax amps I have heard. Whatever they claim, they do sound right to me. Although I have never played much with a de Lima amp I have played quite a bit with most of my own phono stages, pre-amp...

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...

Absolutely right! All ready made speakers sound bad, unless by sheer luck you get one that matches your surroundings. THat's why I listen to my home made ones, or my late 1970's klipschorns (which are not perfect but great, nevertheless). ML...

One of the most frustrating things in hi-fi, IMO, is using the wrong speakers for your room and/or the wrong speaker/amp pairing. It is impossible to get anything right or to even get started if you don't get this right (enough). For exam...

…not only because Sound but also because “no boxes” is good for
storage. I mean it. One of the greatest space compression idea that I experienced
this weekend was that if I trash the driver boxes and pile them in chessboard order
then I can get …e...

Hi guys and gals! Glad to have found this site!My question is do you believe in single driver speakers like Cube Audio? I don't need ultimate low end extension but accurate mids and highs. Thanks ??...

I have had the same experience. I have experimented extensively with tightening and loosening the screws that mount the speakers to the baffle. I have done this with the plain wood and also by placing a gasket in between and tightening it down, simil...

Robin, my live venue preferences are similar to yours. I was thinking about how we deal with the sound matrix in our listening rooms, based on the variables we are presented with. I remember when I gave no thought to soundstage and little thought abo...

The idea of a driver/speaker that "sorts out" noise and "puts it in its place" is very interesting! But perhaps we are thinking wrongly about how this might be done? As far as doing it earlier in the "reproduction" chain, I do know a version of thi...

Dear Romy,Albeit with almost 10 years delay what you think of Gryphon speakers with same configuration?...
|
|
Well, I do not like the ESD debut. It was not well though
and not well executed. The sound that they demonstrated is kind of less relevant.
Sound look like was nothing interesting to say the last, sorry it is too obvious

Quite a few people send me emails asking about my techniques to trace the DPoLS
http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?postID=994#994
Sure the DPoLS are practically not known techniques and it is great to “handle” it but there is somethi...

I do not think that this is the thread to argue this point but I juts would like to raise my vote of absolute disagreement. If we accept such a term as “tonal density” then the tonal density has absolutely no relations with the way how speakers are p...

[quote user="Paul S"]Romy, what exactly was bad, and how?Honestly, my knowlwedge and objectives were in infancy back then. Also, it's been so long that my "memory" is probably crowded with parasitic ideas passing themselves off as memories. But I r...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I see some kind of so called “transmission line” that is fractured from multiple labyrinths where each of section acts as different resonant chamber… then I do not want to hear about “energy releasing and the rest crap.[/qu...
