I have listened to some expensive speakers from B&W, Wilson Audio, Dynaudio, and also owned the SF Amati, you know already. Musically these ones were more musically interesting to me than any of the others, but still weren't something that comple...

Hi Romy,I've been reading GSC for some time, because I hope to find and learn some different audio perspectives. Untill now I never posted anything because of my total ignorance about horn speakers. But i've heard some wilson audio's a couple of time...

N-Set In Tehran properly setup audio systems are rare and most of the time we have not enough transparency to see what PP do with sound.some audiophiles in tehran believe the PP is not good (they prefer AC Line Filters to PP) because they had not go...

I still find that what Polymer Audio is reasonable if to take under consideration what they are. The Polymer Audio try to appeal for a totally different segment of prospective customers – the Robb Report reading and the sleazy Rolexes wearing y...

I agree with your thoughts. Current High End is to audio like Haute Couture is to fashion. You actually pay for something that a designer decided you may need (in fact he gives a damn if you need it or not always you buy it), and you take it as is, p...

People who frequent at my site know my constant intend to assess performance of audio before even thinking to make any changes:

Approaching from this mindset I always ask people who buy n...

It is pointless to talk about the advantages of high sensitivity in loudspeakers. Everyone understands it and still it is mostly a terra incognito area in audio. There are very few more or less properly performing high sensitivity loudspeakers or dri...

This weekend I was told that there is a new power conditioner out there: Dmitri from Running Springs Audio. I never heard the company and have no idea that they are, what they do and what the stand for.
A quick search lead me to number of posi...

Stitch, I hope you talk not about Wilsons but about the cretins who write the stupid stories about them. Wilsons do what they do and what they do is OK. Sure the Wilsons, as anything else have own problems but those problems are never get pointed out...

A Federated Mike started his new venture ultimist.com, the portal where he feel people would like to go to do “purchase research”. Those poor audio dealers do not get that someone might have interests in audio outside the brands, shopping and nee...

I'll refrain from commenting on the performance of the Alexandria; I've heard it once and am willing to keep an open mind on the grounds that the installation may not have been correctly set up; it was at an audio show paired with Audio Research gear...

Hi Samuel, I see that quite a few replies without much in the way of suggestions. Romy will not give you what you want, ie. a shopping list of speakers to audition, but I will give you one or two recommendations that I think sound quite good in...

Hm, the example with Wilson is much more complicated then you think. Wilson are very much misunderstood and mis-presented products. From certain prospective they well worth their money. Still, in context of this thread: problem with Wilson is not Wil...

Yeah, and I once thought Krell was the way to go, a boy's (or a man's) dream when I saw pictures of the KSA 100 poweramp for the first time. I must admit that in 1991 I heard a demo with Krell KAS poweramps, Wilson WATT/Puppy's + Pow Wow subwoofer an...

There is a young new “reviewer” Jacob Heilbrunn who spread his “wisdom” about Wilson speakers:

hi romyi disagree totally with your point of view regarding audio industry. i think first of all, what this all is abought, is to have fun listening to music. and it is VERY subjective, what is good sound reproduction, and what is not. if someone doe...

That is I always was interested - why we never hear about Audio from the richest Arab countries? I was looking recently at the log of my site and saw a number of recent visitors from there. It would be interesting to hear about audio environment in t...
