    Venture Audio Grand Ultimate Speakers - anyone heard them before?

    I heard the Venture Ultimate Reference speakers at the recent Newport Beach Audio Show in the Precision Audio Video room; not sure if this is the same speaker. The Ventures were in the largest room I saw at the show and were driven by some very expensive Venture solid-state electronics...

    Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne loudspeakers

    Just a note that I loaded my stand risers with #8 lead shot that I got from a gun enthusiast friend of mine. I also bought a pair of ankle weights containing lead shot that I wrapped around the bottom of the risers to increase the stand mass by about 20 lbs. I found clarity improved...

    Have We Become Conditioned Permanently to Hi-Fi Sound?

    I think these points are all valid and appreciate everyone's response. But what I would like to reiterate is that although recordings and equipment technology ultimately limits how closely playback of recordings resembles the real thing, I think the audiophile industry is aiming for the wrong...

    Have We Become Conditioned Permanently to Hi-Fi Sound?

    What is concerning, to me at least, is how far we have veered away from what sounds natural in favor of what sounds "hi-fi." It seems as if treble brightness, bass prominence, and hyped-up detail is the gold standard that I hear at shows and dealers. Funny story, at the recent Newport Beach...

    What is the best speaker you have ever owned ?????

    I agree that room size is not the only factor in lack of driver integration. I should have said that I sat too close to the speakers where I heard the drivers as separate entities, even though they sounded better than I expected.

    Remarkable MBL Speaker Review by Breuninger. Is the speaker as good as the review?

    I recently heard the mbl 101e's as part of an all-mbl system at the Newport Beach Audio Show and I must say that it was the best-sounding system I have ever heard, everything else a distant second. The room was a double room in the hotel and the speakers were set up along the long wall...

    What is the best speaker you have ever owned ?????

    Best speaker I have owned has to be a pair of Acapella High Violins. The ion tweeter is unmatched in treble performance and the horn midrange sounds great also. The problem was that they were too big for my room and didn't get a chance to integrate the drivers properly. So I went to some...

    Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne loudspeakers

    That would be correct. 30 MHz bandwidth, he claims.

    Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne loudspeakers

    I am new to WBF and this is my first post, although I have posted to a number of other audio forums in the past. I have also followed the Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne thread and wanted to give my take on these speakers, which I have now owned for a couple of weeks and heard at a recent...
