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...

[quote user="drdna"] This is why the discussion of the Injection channel and the use of the loudspeaker like a resonant musical instrument is so apt. [/quote] Indeed, I did not realized that I shifted my thinking in this thread and an in my general v...

First thing first. I was running under impression that the cost of Silbatone Aporia under $100K. I was looking where I might get this impression from. I am sure it was a comment at some CES blog but I was looking and was not able to found it. Most li...

There is a guy here in the UK who is a retailer but who also manufactures loudspeakers called Living Voice. He has several customers in far flung parts of the world where the mains supply is even worse than Boston. With the help of a supplier of...

"with only disadvantage in sensitively department" That's quite a big disadvantage from where I look at it.The way you describe the speakers with all of your other amplifiers seems to match how I recall them sounding. I cannot imagine how...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] I would like to ask a question. Does the Jubilee add a specific color signature, or does it change appropriately with the music it plays? [/quote] To make it brief. I do not think that it is warranted to talk about “Jubile...

Hi Romy,I guess I view absolute tone a bit differently than what you describe. I think that each real instrument or person (as in singer) has its own "absolute" tone. It is the sound of what it is (or its gestalt). The ideal speaker...

The famed audio designer was working on new audio designs until the end, which continued to be published in MJ, the Japanese audio journal. I'm sad to hear of his passing. I feel fortunate to have been able to meet him and spend time listening to som...

Scott, you see, this is the problem. You do not talk about the problems “as is”. All what I was asking was the acknowledgment/recognition/identification without context of loudspeakers. Your listening/assessment awareness is completely grounded to th...

agreed with your comments about the show. I go mainly for the record shopping as the local record stores bring out their better records. I picked up several excellent box sets, including Webern and Bruckner coral music. I also went to see the Airforc...

Our milage varies and in my case it's still quite short.In any case, I would place glare on top of my list of appalling qualities of modern high-end loudspeakers.This glare (unlike clarity) results from an exaggerated high frequency response that pro...

I think hearing loss has to do a little bit with excessive HF in todays loudspeakers, with age this is the freq. that is mainly lost, so boosting it a little bit helps that... Most commercial systems exagerate HF mainly to make you think they have...

My attitude toward to it is simple – any wrong sound had reasons. In the past I was trying to educate Morons about what specifically wrong with Sound this or that let say loudspeaker. The audio people in their ultimate wisdom get it personally, loos...

I have in my basement a room that I do not use and I am in process of building Finnish cedar sauna in there. The pre-sauna room will have a fireplace, shower, rest facility and the rest ordinary sauna suspects. While I am constructing the frame and w...

The Absolute Sound cite a street price of 250.000€ and also call JBL Paragon-like the bass horns.http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/munich-high-end-2015-loudspeakers/I believe that configuration, with the bass horns in the middle, should be mor...

I do not know, I always have difficulties to talk with audio people about those subjects. They seems to have very strong and very definitive position how different driving tool affect sound of their timbales. The most ...

Something is very strange going on with me, I wonder if it is some kind of brain cancer or some kind of neurological things. I still have no speakers arrived but I was listening today broker 5 with Danlavy 2021 driven by Yamaha B3. There we multiple ...

I guess the first step is to determine the audibility of K2 at the frequencies being reproduced. Then comes the trick pony if the audibility hurts or benefits playback. Is K2 even a problem?What will inevitably come up is that you will have to engine...

[quote user="George"] I am not quite understanding part of what you say:

The Podzus-Görlich drivers use a special hard foam that was invented by Podzus in the 1930ies (Who would think about loudspeakers in first place after inventing a new material today?). I tried to find out more about it, but I failed. The problem...

Thanks, unicon, I know nothing about the Wharfedale and I do not really looking for monitors anymore. In fact my monitor quest ended up to be catastrophe and if I know then what I know now I would not do it and would just buy off a pair of vintage ac...

I always thought there are only two basically interesting approaches to the sound reproduction:- eliminating the room effect as much as possible with a controlled disperssion of a forward firing horn- or completely include room (a bogus idea, I know)...
