    Re: Testing the all new Ilumnia Magister!!

    Thank you for the very nice and detailed review. The million dollar question is what the speaker was doing with the room in terms of its interaction. Did you turn the ports? That was mentioned during...

    Re: Phison Audio PD2 Preamp/DAC

    As an aside, the only reason the Rokna sells well here in the US and the PD2 does not is in part due to the reviews by the Swiss Miss at 6Moons. Sadly, it was not setup properly (despite being told...

    Re: Phison Audio PD2 Preamp/DAC

    Gary, I am glad you are enjoying it. Sonny Anderson is a grade A engineer and worked very hard on that piece. Pop the top and its a meticulous work of art. That iteration of the PD2 is primarily a...
  4. Re: The speaker fairy showed up today - JBL 4367 !!!

    The following for Heritage Klipsch stuff is profound. I have rarely seen such diehard, dedicated fans who seem to own these things for ever. A rarity. I have been speaking with Bob Crites and plan...

    But they also play well at low volumes and do a good job recreating a soundstage at those levels. My wife is please how they look and that is half the battle!
  6. Re: The speaker fairy showed up today - JBL 4367 !!!

    Yeah, I call them my Arkansas hillbilly speakers. You have not lived until you hear Leonard Skynyrd at 120 dB. They reproduce the explosiveness of drums better than any speaker I have previously...
  7. Re: The speaker fairy showed up today - JBL 4367 !!!

    They are a riot to listen to. I am engaged. They sound very good with good SS too. People misread them as bright, etc because the upstream electronics was often mediocre.
  8. Re: The speaker fairy showed up today - JBL 4367 !!!

    So I decided to snag some Cornwall IIs just to experiment with horns in the system and enjoy them immensely. I am contemplating modding them with new B+C drivers, x-over and some internal cabinet...

    Re: Viva amp/preamp

    I had the Solista (mk1) and it was an outstanding piece. Fabrication quality was superb. Ran pretty hot and was a menace to my kids and thus their departure.
  10. Re: The speaker fairy showed up today - JBL 4367 !!!

    I am going to be using Starsound stands. that might be worth a shot. I know the speakers are a little heavy so it would be a two man job.

    People have been a little perplexed why they did not...
  11. Re: The speaker fairy showed up today - JBL 4367 !!!

    Never mind. I see the pics.
  12. Re: The speaker fairy showed up today - JBL 4367 !!!

    Not being "audiophile" is part of my new selection criteria. The project, if it comes to pass, should be a lot of fun.

    Do you have yours up on stands?
  13. Re: The speaker fairy showed up today - JBL 4367 !!!

    Thanks Joe for the info on the 4367s! I have had the JBL M2s on the brain for some time. I heard a vintage set of Klipsch speakers and was reminded of the unfettered speed and dynamics of higher...

    Re: Phison Audio PD2 Preamp/DAC

    Well I like Roon/HQplayer into a little Intel NAA with Mike's PS. Sounds nice and Roon as an interface is to die for. Some people have been bitching about its cataloging of classical material but...

    Welcome Sonny. So you got tired of all us fools babbling. Educate away. Most audiophiles have some form of attention deficit mixed with unwarranted pride. It will take time to break through. ...

    Say what? Since when have you become a proponent of "tube magic"? I thought that was for the weak minded? I am sure HQplayer will someday have a nice little DSP that could provide all the fireside...

    Ouch. Okay.

    What is your go to source? Vinyl? Why are you sniffing around the Phison tree? MSB falling short in some way? I know your speakers are laser beam accurate. Are you wanting more...

    Re: Acoustic Room Treatments vs DSP

    I know it was not the DEQX. It was part of his Spatial software. A friend of mine used his most recent software offering (Dirac), and it was not copacetic.

    Again, you will be "Gob-smacked" if...

    I briefly fiddled with room correction when I had Emerald Physics speakers. The room correction that Clayton Shaw was using at the time produced a modest improvement. There is a lot to be said for...
