Discussions on your system, amplification, source components, competing speakers etc.
Inspired by hjames' "references threads", I've collected links related to Westlake, Eastlake and Hidley Design below. Please PM me if you want me to add something. (Just in case: Many Westlake speakers feature JBL drivers, and the Smith horn is essentially a modified JBL 2397, hence the "Lansing...
Hello My new universal player audio and video for my CD, SACD and DVD. HHB UDP-89 That's happiness. Stéphane :) http://audioheritage.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=11750
Dear all, What kind of speaker cables are you using for your 4345s, or any type of Horn speakers, to tone down the harshness and "In your face" kind of results ? Is Nordost in your menu ? Thanks for your reply...:)
Has anyone used the Grant Fidelity 01 or 09 dac? If so are you happy with it? I heard the 01 is less problem prone than the 09, true? :bouncy:
Hello guys, I saw that the original post about the twenties is closed. I' had the honour, in 1980, to be the very first reviewer to test the Matti Otala's Citations ( on Italian magazine Audio Review). The result was...Incredible. My opinion was so enthusiast that my review has been used for...
IMHO all of the current receivers, integrated amps, and separate pre-amps suck at reproducing 2-channel audio. Almost any $200 Pioneer, Sansui, Yamaha or Marantz receiver from the 70's will blow away anything out there today. There were other companies, but these "top 4" are readily available and...
Thanks to a heads up from Mr. Widget, I couldn't be happier to announce the launch of the flaghsip Ultima2 Series by Revel. Here's the complete release:
Did this install before breakfast. Pretty high WAF. Ordered the Control 1's following a dialogue here, two weeks ago - it got me thinking. Wonder if the wifey planned the house color to match these, all along... :hmm:

What stands do you use or like for these or similar speakers? Right now I'm using old speakers as stands with foam in between. I will probably end up doing something DIY but wanted to know what you preferred. I have seen the photos of the original L-100 stand, but thought that they should be higher...
Just got these JSE Infinite Slope speakers. The Infinite Slope refers to the crossovers. Cabinet construction is fantastic, as the sound. Anybody heard of JSE? 42712 42713
I have Main Speakers: JBL 4312 mk2 (temporary while building) AMPS: 2 x NAD S200 PREAMP: Thule Audio PR150B CD: Denon DCD-3000 Cables: A collection of different DIY like rg62 and so on.. Room: 38 square meters, not any special treatment right now.
Thanks to all that responded to my query about outdoor speakers. As soon as I nab a cheap H/K receiver on the bay, I'll be shopping for them. In the mean time I'm curious what you guys use for headphones. I've been using Sony MDR-V6 (same as 7506) for what seems like forever. I've been patching...
After our Saturday morning trip to the farmer's market, we saw a sign for an Estate Sale. Emma and I had a couple dollars left, so we dropped in. She got a pair of weathered Woodstock wind chimes for the end of the yard, and I was drawn to a wooden case on the homeowners workbench. I...
remember this old thread ?? Perfect Speaker? Let's hear your vote! and my answer was OHM F. (guess I haven't heard many super high ends).....
Hi all. I am pleased :bouncy:to announce the purchase of Westlake HR-7 Towers. The cabinets are the American Walnut version with WBT hardware. Julie is happy they look more like furniture than the HR-1's did. These are brand new "without" the internal passive crossover. Like my old Hr-1's, I...

One of the first things that I bought when I got into this insanity a few years ago was a Dynaco tube output CDP from the early 90s. The system has evolved and changed drastically except for the CDP and until recently I never gave it much thought. What do you guys use and like? I'm not...
Well I was making a routine dustbin drop and discover in the dark dumped outside on top of a trailer a what a appeared to be two loudspeakers, I noticed with the brief light from the alleyway one of the bass mid drivers was damaged, but still was better than treasure hunting in fact it was like...
I have a secondary system; Crown IC150A, D150A, Kenwood KT8300, and cd player. The speakers are JBL L15s and I have to turn the bass down on the preamp nearly 3/4s to have it sound right. The bass is not distorted, but is overbearing if not cut significantly. Has anyone noticed a vintage Crown...
I found two enormous speakers in the garbage recently. I collect drivers from televisions and stereos I find in the trash to use in art displays but these are too big for what I do. I'm going to guess that they were in the rental house they were behind for many decades and after moving the...
Can you modify or adapt a phono input to function as a line level aux in without effecting linear frequency reponse? thanks.
I dont know where else to turn with this, ive been trying to find a good picture on google for a good hour now, and been trying to figure out the belt placement on my own for a good 3 hours now.. so far, not counting the belt that goes to the counter, im up to 3 belts (testing with rubberbands...
Could someone send me in the right direction as I don't know a damned thing about these? Thanks Ken
Okay I know this is a little off topic but if anyone can answer this before I kill myself ... I like to modify things because my needs are never fully met by what companies sell. The Question/Statement: I am thinking about upgrading my PA and I really want powered monitors. I am thinking that...
