    Clarisys Audio Auditorium Loudspeaker

    I believe this because the results are clearly better... In every way...ie: Superior dynamics, better transparency, (a clearer "window" into the performance). The ability to "fine tune" the various parameters to match the room and ones personal needs/preferences. Data points: Bi n tri amped...

    American Sound, "The Absolute Nothing"

    Out of curiosity since you have visited this private system, featuring DDK's new Statement table, twice now, you probably have a decent sense for the overall sound reproduction capability (of this system, not specifically the ABSOLUTE NOTHING Turn Table). Generally speaking, how would you...

    Sonus Faber Suprema Flagship Loudspeaker $750,000

    IMO, this new flagship offering from Sonus-Faber would look substantially better if the sub woofer colomn had a minimum of one more driver, and preferably two per column, and then the columns would be at a similar height as the main array..... As it stands now it looks to disjointed.....

    Ron’s New System

    I believe he was mainly referring to the materials used in the CD ( compression driver) Mid/Tweeter sections of a horn (waveguide) based system. Most are various metal based materials, although there are some good paper CD ( B & C come to mind...and are quite good...BTW). Cheers....

    Ron’s New System

    Be careful of "First Impressions" on any new ( unused, with 0 hours of previous burn in) cable. The Cardas may indeed be exactly what the doctor ordered....I use various Cardas products , and with excellent results. However they will change somewhat with additional play time.... I suspect as...

    Finally got a pair of Maggie’s

    One simple thing you might try is to reverse the speaker positions. Currently you appear to have the tweeter sections of the speakers on the inside. Your speakers are also angled in a fair amount and with their separation from one another, a little to close together (I can see from the doorway...

    Celestion Axi2050 Horn Driver - Holy Cow!

    May I inquire on the EQ settings you are using? You mentioned using a 3DB boost above 10kHZ. What is the actual frequency you are applying the 3DB boost and are you using a " HIGH SHELF", or a Bell curve setting?. Also how far back do you sit from the speakers? Thanks.....

    Ron’s New System

    I believe there was a Pendragon setup in Malaysia or Singapore that had the same alignment as your new configuration. That individual mentioned he tried both positions and definitely preferred woofers on the inside, panels on the outside. If you experience some loss of center-fill, try angling...
