1: Speaker Asylum, RE: How about a comparison (0.00)
Posted by MikeWDC on 2011-01-22, 09:52:34 (72.83.84.2)
Hmmmm....well I had (and still have) Spendor SP1/2's (they are not "e"). I used them with a REL Strata II. My amplifier is a Cayin a88t. I used the Spendors in my main rig for many years. When one of .......
2: Speaker Asylum, Harbeth SHL5 placement (0.00)
Posted by MikeWDC on 2010-05-27, 18:00:38 (70.108.5.10)
I recently switched from Spendors SP 1/2's to Harbeth SHL5's. I learned in this forum where to best place the Spendors and that was along the long wall with significant toe-in. I assumed that the simi .......

Posted by MikeWDC on 2010-04-01, 18:33:15 (70.108.23.227)
This is one of my favorite pieces of all time. Depressing? Not at all. Ethereal, profound, sublime? Yes. Although the Upshaw recording is considered definitive by many, I prefer the Polish National R .......

Posted by MikeWDC on 2009-07-20, 13:56:22 (66.78.218.2)
I have SP 1/2's (the originals) and prefer them with tubes as well. Probably also depends on what kind of music you listen to. I like jazz vocal and classical. .......

Posted by MikeWDC on 2009-06-29, 18:29:04 (70.108.20.60)
Ok, this is a pretty esoteric question, I admit. But, if nobody on Audio Asylum knows, then it can't be known! I have a TAD-150 pre-amp with remote model ARM-17A. I need the IR codes for this remote. .......

Sorry David, that was a typo. I meant to ask about your stands as I'm looking to replace mine. But you've indicated the company is now defunct. There is a company called Target that makes stands today .......

Posted by MikeWDC on 2009-06-15, 09:30:24 (70.108.28.254)
First off, thank you for my new favorite word: "tubery." I had read the Audio Physics deal previously, but thanks to your reference I've re-read it a bit more closely. Interesting thing about the wall .......

David, I'm curious--which Target speakers were you using? Thanks. .......

Posted by MikeWDC on 2009-06-14, 15:33:34 (70.108.28.254)
Let me first say THANK YOU to all who offered advice. Everyone offered similar advice regarding moving the speakers to the long wall. They are now 9' apart, each 8' from sides, 30" from back wall, 9'2 .......

Posted by MikeWDC on 2009-06-12, 19:43:02 (70.108.28.254)
Thanks so much for your response! I was thinking that the listening position was possibly too far away, but even when I sit closer, there are still problems (although it is better). I would be very di .......

Posted by MikeWDC on 2009-06-12, 18:32:06 (70.108.28.254)
I have somehow jacked up my acoustics (I've done several things, so unsure what combo screwed things up). Music has lost all its presence and feels to me like it's "stuck" in the speaker or even comin .......
