But why is this guy an asshole? He seems ok in the couple of youtube videos I watched, although I did not study him in depth... On the other hand, the speakers were not my cup of tea when I heard them once for 20 minutes....

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...

Well, after all I was pointed out to the place where the annoyed wonna-be-Magico-owners came from:

Nothing new, I well accustomed to the satiations when pro...

[quote user=" Jonathan Valin"] Third, in Munich, because of the severely limited amount of time available for setup (and the severely limited space to set up in), Wolf DSP’d the U3s for phase but did not DSP them for time alignment.... In Cali, the U...

I do not subscribe audio publication but sometimes when my level of venomous hate goes down to dangerously low level I buy one at newsstand. The last night I saw October TAS magazine in Borders with a big picture of Magico speaker on the cover I ...

[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...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I have heard 2 positive comments from a people who used the Berkeley Alfa DAC. One of them is in sales and obviously off any credentials. Another person is just a user who used reportedly the DAC at CES (prototype version),...

When I meet Jonathan Valin I laugh. Jonathan is soft-spoken, kind-mannered person who does not have that revolting attitude of a typical audio reviewer. Most of audio reviewers that I met behaved like idiots, claiming: “the entire wo...

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...

I can't figure how Bert can mannage to successfully overcome the fact that the tweeter is sooo deep.I'm also curious about something else. I read in a recent post of yours that you have heard the mr. wolf's ultimates and that you consider that they a...
|
SamFrom your listings perhaps you do not mind if certain qualities of the speakers themselves come to the fore, as long as you get other things you want?I think the Verity Parsifals do need the Encore (is that it?) bass units, and you'd certainl...

I have written my previous post after reading their remarkably-idiotic page about “values” and noticing a few mistakes in thier “punch-lines”, still there is a further point in all of it. The Hi-Fi companies and Hi-Fi marketing are lost touch with th...

[quote user="ArmAlex"]I have no experiance of Constellation sound, but I think it should not be something special. In CES they shared a room with Magico which is unbelievably unlistenable.[/quote] Room sharing at the shows is a complicated subject an...

I was pitching before that to make a loudspeaker with integrated LF module you have no ethical right to charge more then let say $20K retail. If you charge more then you have no mechanism to deliver anything for the money people pay. However, if you...

It is interesting indeed how people allow their attention to go from fixation to fixation without ever changing/adapting methodology, believing none the less that each single idea in turn is The Answer. I remember the first time I heard th...

Thanks for the link, el`Ol. The original Görlichs, when they still use aluminum layers were very interesting, thought they were soft suspended drivers that is not my cap of tea. BTW, for whatever it worth the Magico new version does not use ADT...

[quote user="Telstar"]. Considering their pedigree alone, it's worth a listening.[/quote]

[quote user="angeloitacare"] Of course, Avantgarde with their price tag never will be for mass consumption. I offered Holger then to see If I could commercialize his horns in japan, Do u know how much was the dealer price for a pair of trios at that ...
|
Hi Romy
a good sound in a room does not depend only on the speaker chain, but essencially also of the room acoustics. Probably many of the Trio systems didn’t sound right just because of that…. I was at Holgers Home in Lautersbach back in 94. He ha...

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...

Jorge,
You're right about using identical amps. No doubt.
I have not used Dr. Edgar's passive network but I have tried conventional passive networks on Edgarhorns. They worked alright.
And I have...
