    Jeff's Getting a New Stereo System

    A mainstream product makes sense -- most readers won't be able to identify with exotic or one-off-type speakers. I know those choices in my article might be boring to some -- and there are others I'm thinking about -- but I want my reviews to be as relevant as I can make them. Thanks for the...

    Jeff's Getting a New Stereo System

    This is actually the question I am grappling with right now. Two things come to mind: 1.) To most, five figures for a set of speakers is really expensive. 2.) The name Ultra should not apply to price, but to performance. Still, your point is valid. Thanks for the kind words about family.

    Jeff's Getting a New Stereo System

    This is so true. We do tend to stay with what we are comfortable with. "...stuck in their own path" is a good way to put it. I'm guilty of this and likely will be in the future. Though another SoundStage! writer just went from cones to MartinLogans. Think I'm going to have to give that a try in...

    Jeff Fritz/State of the Uber High End

    I have no opinion of the EA designer and do not even know his name. He may be brilliant. My point was that just because he designs $200k speakers it does not naturally follow that he is qualified to design cables. Or speakers for that matter.

    Jeff Fritz/State of the Uber High End

    This is the type of mindset that is absolute nonsense. Because someone is designing $200,000 loudspeakers they are therefore qualified to design cables, or anything else? Do you think Jack Oclee-Brown, the Head of Acoustics at KEF, a PhD in Loudspeaker Acoustics who's studied and written...

    Devialet - use of its phono stage

    One scenario that gets played out on this forum over and over is the guy that basically says, "I've got something at home that you don't have and can't afford and I can tell you it is better than what you have at home." It is common and misleading. And when it gets repeated enough times it...

    What do we expect at the show?

    For the manufacturers that invest tens of thousands of dollars to exhibit at these shows, no, it is not about having "fun." It is, ultimately, about attracting buyers for their products. My article states clearly that I am not suggesting a hotel, but venues more like MOC in Germany...

    What do we expect at the show?

    One of the big issues for me is the use of these hotels: http://www.soundstageultra.com/index.php/features-menu/opinion-menu/478-munich-revelations-problems-with-high-end-audio-s-self-promotion Surely we (North America) can do better.

    Are these the best speaker's in the world?

    I can ask. My guess on the "sound big" aspect is the radiation pattern. The crossover slopes are shallow so there is a lot of overlap. With the woofer and radiator putting a lot of energy into the room from the rear, the speaker acts more like an omni than does a traditional, forward-firing...
