    Re: What happened to the Silver Eclipse?

    Thanks to both of you for taking the time to respond. This morning, I wrote Larry Smith (the VP-Sales at Wireworld) and asked him the same question.

    I'll post his answer when/if I receive one.

    Too Much Music

    This posting is both a serious question and a whine.

    Re: I'm still in love with my speakers

    I bought my Revel Ultima Studios nearly 20 years ago and still think they are a great set of speakers. These days, I drive them with a pair of McIntosh MC611s, the cables being Wireworld Silver...

    Re: JVC Projectors

    Well, I have been a bit late to this party. However, better late than never. I recently had a JVC RS-3100/NX8 installed in my home theater. Its MSRP is $16.000. I spent an additional $6,000 for a...

    Re: Clarisys Audio at Axpona 2023

    Let me add my name to the growing list of those who were wowed at AXPONA by the Clarisys Minuet Neo speakers. They seemed to offer it all: accuracy, clarity, dynamics, frequency response, imaging,...

    Today, I watched a Jay's Audio Lab video about Rockport Technologies and the terrible paint job that company did on a pair of Orion speakers. The focus of this video was on Rockport's quality...

    Re: Lumin T3

    Has anyone done a comparison of the T3 to the T2 in terms of announced specifications and features? The T3 is priced at about $5,350, which is quite an increase over the T2's $4,500.

    Re: A word to the wise…

    Mike,

    Two Magico questions: (1) can you confirm Jay’s comment about a revised S series coming soon — and I’ll add likely with higher prices; and (2) should we expect an across the board price...
  18. Re: Is it time for a major overhaul of the Lumin App?

    For me, the Lumin app is an excellent backstop when Roon becomes -- for one reason or another -- inoperative. Everything comes with a cost, and, if the user is looking for a native app from Lumin...
