    Power Response and the Last Dates of Magnepan 30.7 Road Tour

    In the video Wendell Diller of Magnepan explains about the importance of power response in trying to reach a more realistic stereo experience. I might try to make some of these dates to hear the 30.7s in a different room than I did in Chicago. Plus I like talking to Wendell Diller in person, to...

    Renaissance is sold out for AXPONA 2019: As I found out trying to book a room today

    Wow, I knew AXPONA keeps growing but didn't expect I would be too late to get a room onsite. Bummer, for 2020 I guess I will have to book my room in August or something like that. Also the Renaissance told me the other hotels on their site were also booked up, but I would double check that just...

    eBay ad makes fun of audiophiles

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTawbKJ-Rgk Ok, raise your hand if you resemble the guy in ad, figuratively speaking of course. Personally I wish my speakers looked some YG Acoustics in silver. However I have to agree with the guy in the video.

    This JBL looks TS 8000 like their version of a Revel

    I can't seem to find much info on this speaker, I'm guessing it was made for the Asian market. Their is the smaller version on eBay the TS 6000, being sold directly by Harman. Just thought it was interesting, wonder how it sounds...

    Show is on June 2-4, anybody coming? Talked to Wendell Diller on Wendesday, about various questions I had, and he mentioned that Magnepan will be there to "fly the flag" that they are still around. He said he liked the LA location as it bought in a younger crowd. That have cut down to one show...

    WAMM Master Chronosonic by Wilson Audio

    http://www.audiosalon.com/brands/wilson-audio/wamm-master-chronosonic/ Well I don't know about the sound, but definitely not the most graceful looking speaker out there by any means. Talk about your large Transformer looking robots, this has to be their leader. The name even matches the...

    Carver Amazing Line Source: Absolute Sound Review

    Just speculating but I assume Bob Carver, did some serious tweaking since they were introduced at RMAF a couple of years ago. They were not well received at that show, or maybe it was just show conditions. Anyway we now have a rave review in The Absolute Sound by Robert E. Greene. A lot is made...

    Why the Harman mono speaker test was wrong for dipole planers

    I would like to see what the guru's response is to this, from a PM on another forum? "You can't just take a dipole and plunk it down in the middle of the room, it will sound terrible. All speakers suffer if you do that, but dipoles are designed to be a certain distance from the wall and...

    Legacy Audio at AXPONA, never seemed right to me

    I have been to all 3 AXPONA shows in Chicago, and have always felt the speakers in the Legacy Audio room never seemed quite right. Did they just not get the acoustics right all three times, or is it just me? I always try to visit their rooms as they seem to use a lot of various technologies for...

    Emotiva XMC-1 Pre/Pro with DiracLive Full

    I have been reading about MiniDSP and Dirac Live on another board, and this pre/pro made me think about it as an option for room correction. For those of us who are less technically inclined, I know it would be more limited in scope than what is possible with FIR filters and a custom MiniDSP...

    Which streaming service has the BesT Movie SoundTrack channel?

    I have been a long time fan of music soundtracks when I was growing up. Music like the theme from Shaft, Star Wars, Jaws, the Good the Bad and the Ugly. Sorcerer & Thief soundtracks by Tangerine Dream, and of course the Bond movies. Before Directv replaced XM Radio with SonicTap, I thought...

    Magico Vs YG Acoustics

    First off this is not a Troll post, as I really like both speaker companies. Just wondering what are the pro and cons, and the difference's in design philosophy and goals. By the way, I have read a lot of YG's literature so I somewhat more familiar with them. I do like their published...

    German Physiks, Emperor speakers at the 2014 AXPONA why did they sound so bad

    I realize this question is rather out of date, but with the 2015 AXPONA coming up. I was remembering how I was really looking forward to hearing 400K speaker (500K if you include the surrounds), plus the demo was to be given by Dr. Waldrep of AIX Records. I have few of his records and like his...

    The Unease of the Audiophile

    So do you have this disease? I would say mine is more like a persistent cough, but not life threatening or severe. I lust for Pass Lab amps, Martin Logan CLX's or Magnepan 20.7's, maybe some Raidho or MBL speakers, and of course a better dedicated listening room with silly expensive room...

    Speaker Voicing the differences in thought and speakers

    I tried doing a search but nothing answered all my questions regarding voicing of speaker. I picked up that there were at least 3 schools of thought. Flat as possible frequency response, romantic, and a downward sloping frequency response in the treble range or rolled off treble. The last one I...

    Anyone had experience using Skyline type diffusors vs QRD diffusors. In regards to taming the back wave of a planer speaker, if so what were the results? I have Magnepan 3.6's with the rear wave firing into the corners of my room. Currently I have three QRD, six inch deep diffusors in each...
