I heard from a Professional Journalist who was all days at Munich High End Show that they didn't have many visitors. The official numbers are critical, he said, they must have counted every Leg and Arm as Visitors.And it was the same boring demos as ...

David, the Merriam-Webster dictionary describes “high end “as
superiority quality or sophistication. The loudspeakers you posted are inferior
in quality of delivery and in sophistication of implementation. In fact they
are just a reflection of inc...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]David, I think you a bit overly glorify the notion of "precision instruments" that we all are a bit taken in high-end audio. If you go to a good hobby shop and by a microscope for 200 dollars, or lawn mower for $300, or a k...

Okay, my point was not really the cost and not really even the magnets. (though I was surprised they were that cheap) Just the justification, but hey when has the 'high-end' needed any justification.When I was a dreamy youth there was exotica out the...

I know that in audio we use fucked-up terminology that over the course of years audio propaganda pimps of all calibers impended into minds of feeble audio people. High-End Audio in today world means nothing that what I feel, is it possible to cle...

about Linaeum diapole tweeters:“Give them their own amplifier, then the efficiency does not
matter. Great amps are not that expensive and with the standard distribution of
acoustical energy, the tweeter does ...

I think we are speaking about different things, you speak about real High End which should be best possible sound quality to serve a musical purpose, and I'm speaking about a High End industry which doesn't give a damn about musical performance, beca...

Looking at the sound that audio high-enders cultivate as High-End Sound I have little enthusiasm in what I see/hear. The High-End Sound, as it exists in 99% of listening rooms is not really High-End Sound but rather the High-End Labeled Sound where t...

[quote user="deemon"]But here we have an interesting question . Imagine two persons - the first man likes classic music and don't likes rock , and the second - likes both . And they tries to make their systems using this concept - "good performa...

[quote user="drdna"] The vast majority of things that give us information about a performance of a musical piece are preserved or lost in the recording process, not in the reproduction by the audio system. [/quote]
I would very much argue this. I wo...

As things stand today, I believe that the biggest gain in quality is not to be had via the pursuit of higher resolution formats.A friend of mine who works for a large media distribution business (like Amazon) recently gave me a bunch of sample CD...

I spoke recently with an audio guy who gourmet himself as advanced audio fellow and I was stricken how in fact banal and dull his audio interests are. I asked him: what in your view the high-end audio starts? He suggested that it starts with ability ...

Romy says So, I would
like to post to the readers of my site a question: what in your view
would be the most mandatory and the most prominent ingredient in
high-end audio?

I often wonder who REALLY needs real high end? Maybe this is the wrong description. If we look at custom made trumpets, violins, guitars for musicians, there are parameters that can be played with to reach a desired goal. The artisans results become ...

While there is some idiocy reported in this article, the founders are clearly of good heart. Only, no one seems to be listening to classical music.

Silbatone made a Demo with those Horns (the big ones)They said, it is one of three existing WE Horns, made 1935/36 (only mod is the addition of the tweeter you can see there). One Horn is made for 3500 Visitors, so we got a 7000 People Demo with them...

Yesterday a guy come me from Atlanta to “see” my new installation. I kind of explained that I am not in “demo mode” now but he still came to “see it”. I have no idea what he wanted to “see” and I was kind of obligated to play something to him. I...

Yes, I was thinking of take advantage of high ceilings, feeling the space above with midbass horns. A few days back I found a very interesting building. It is big factory from the beginning of the century converted into many lofts. The building has h...

Thanks, Keith.
I isolated this topic in a separate thread, reading to the end you might understand why.
Those commentaries that something is “100% original” I usually take with a lot of suspicion and it usually is an indication that the peo...
