Trying Not To Be An Audiophile...Tommy, glad you agree that the Real Traps are the REAL DEAL, LOL.In my room they exhibit similar traits as in your room...greater decay of notes and a more defined and deeper soundstage. I woul... posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |
Trying Not To Be An Audiophile...Tommy, agreed that the T zero probably wouldn't make any sense. I wasn't actually suggesting that it did. OTOH, the T5 is a superb sub, ultra fast and able to get down clean to about 32hz. In my ro... posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |
Trying Not To Be An Audiophile...Actually Tommy, REL makes a few smaller options. Including my REL T5 and the REL T-zero. posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |
Trying Not To Be An Audiophile...Tommy, I will be glad to give you any help I can in integrating the REL. I think all REL's are superb sub's and the R218 should make a great addition to your system.My only question/concern, is... posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |
Trying Not To Be An Audiophile...Tommy, I think you will be VERY pleased with the Real Traps. They made a HUGE difference in my room. Agree with Seikosha, the Bass traps made the biggest difference. Do report back once they are in... posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |
Sonus Faber Guarneri systemThanks Lloyd. I completely agree that the design of speakers is definitely part art and part science. I think Franco hit one out of the park with the GH's. To this day, there isn't a small speaker ... posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |
Sonus Faber Guarneri systemPavpet, you replaced the new SF Guarneri Evolutions with the GH's! I wonder how many others have done that, LOL. Having heard the new Evolutions on several occasions, I would agree that to my taste... posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |

Sonus Faber Guarneri systemQuick question for Pavpet.. in your thread on 'what to buy' you state that you own the SF Evolutions...a very different speaker to the GH's!! Am I missing something here?? posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |
Sonus Faber Guarneri systemCharles, I think you misunderstood my point. My point is that you seem to believe that ALL SET's will be a better match to these speakers than any other type of amp. IME, that is absolutely NOT the... posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |
Sonus Faber Guarneri systemCharles, It is possible that the power supplies of the 38 watt/ch Wyetech are up to driving the SF GH's.... I wouldn't know as I have not heard this combo. However, anyone believing that a flea pow... posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |
Sonus Faber Guarneri systemI still believe that the SF GH's are NOT an easy load on an amp and are fairly inefficient. IMHO, matching them with low powered or flea powered SET amps is NOT going to result in a sound that most... posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |
Sonus Faber Guarneri systemPaypet, interesting that 38 watts can drive the GH's. Like Charles1dad says, they must have very stout transformers. I know my ARC D70Mk2 with 65 watts/ch can drive the GH's...wasn't sure anything ... posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |
Sonus Faber Guarneri systemPaypet, how much power does your 211 RCA SET mono put out? Also, how big is your room? Which model of G do you own? posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |

Trying Not To Be An Audiophile...Tommy, I think you may want to try placing the GE's perfectly parallel to each other....this is the way I listen ( IOW, NO toe in whatsoever)...report back if you try this, you might like it. :0) posted over 10 years ago | View comment | |
