Re: The Dublin Audio Show - November 16/17 2019

Any idea where I can get more information on this show? Thinking of travelling from Galway. All I have is the notification from Cloney.

ribbon tweeters

I am wondering if any one has experience with anything from the current crop of ribbon tweeter standmounts. Specifically perhaps the Quad S or Z series, or Martin Logan 15 or similar. My issue is I am trying to extract an extra ounce of detail in a smallish room, currently using Dali Mentor Menuette...

Re: Bluesound

I have one. The DAC is very good. The software (via a MAC) is tricky. Album artwork comes and goes. Connection of the device via bluetooth comes and goes mysteriously such that I frequently have to turn it off and on again to reconnect with the MAC. Overall good but some flaws. The internet radio wo...

Re: Munich HiFi Show 2016

Can anyone tell me how to take (relative) advantage of buying from Hifi from Euro countries? When I contact hifi shops here asking about european made hifi the prices still seem to be elevated by the sterling exchange rate, because the distributors are mainly UK based.

Re: ELAC Debut F5 Speakers

OK - here's my take on the Debut B6. I have been listening to them for the past 2 days, driven by Quad 99 series electronics. Well they certainly are good for the price (I paid 390euro from HIFI hut). Big, 'rounded' sound, well balanced across the spectrum and and decent but not exceptional mid-rang...

Re: We're wasting our time!

Similarly (sort of), I am a regular attender at the cinema for 'Live in HD' opera feeds from the Met in New York. The cinema makes great claims about the'HD' element of it, surround sound etc. But without a doubt I get much better sound at home from a Bluray feed into my Harbeths. Obviously I would ...

Re: Cloney Audio RED K SPEAKER DAY – JUNE 7TH Anyone goi

I am interested to see that front firing port and clearly there was some discussion on the day about reflex ports. Unfortunately I was not there. Was the impression of listeners that these speakers performed well close to the rear wall? I am struggling to find the best possible smallish standmounts ...
