    They solved the delamination problems quite some time ago. First it was sunlight, then it was humidity causing the problems. They're doing a 30 day trial for the 1.7s and those are very good speakers. I don't think too many will go back to the factory.

    I haven't heard them but if I were to make the jump from Magnepan it would probably be to Martin Logan. Can you get you resell them without losing your shirt if they're not your cup of tea?

    I say forget the whole thing and move forward. I only piped up over Sony because I'm still mad at them over being stuck in teleprompt hell for a half hour and at the final prompt the recording basically said tough shit and disconnected the call! Right now my main concern is to remove a very large female boa constrictor from her cage without her latching onto my face and taking out an eyeball. This is not the nicest "pet" I've ever had, I'll say that much.

    I forgot to mention that if you find some older Maggies or Martin Logans or what have you, be sure to contact the factory before purchase as some of them just can not be repaired and then you're up the creek without a paddle.

    Nope, can't help you there. Ask about some planar speakers, that I can help you with!

    Have you had enough time with them to post some detailed listening impressions? From what little I've been able to dig up on them they're quite spectacular.

    This will be his last post for a while. I asked Snow to keep things civil and you can guess what kind of a reply that elicited. He has been given a time out and I apologize for the way this thread went.
  8. SteveFord
    Snow, I think you're taking things the wrong way and are making a production over nothing. I have to go to work, play nice.

    They're cool looking and comments about the parent company are relevant as sometimes you need support for a product and it's good to be informed before your purchase. At least you know going in that you may be on your own. Congratulations on your new speakers!

    I have no idea about the speakers but Sony (as a company) is the pits.

    How loud is the vacuum motor on it? The one on the VPI is idiotically noisy.

    I'd want pictures of the underside of that VPI. Remember what I said about the fluid causing the thing to rot apart.

    I use a VPI 17 which I picked up for around $300 a few years back. If you get a VPI do yourself a favor and seal the area around the liquid holding tanks as they just use bare particle board and it'll rot away into garbage.

    Can't help with the Sunfire but REL makes really nice subs. That's where I'd steer you to.

    Look at the Grado line for that price point. They're on ear, not over ear but you can always open up the securing band a bit (carefully).

    What's your price range and what will you be driving them with?

    This afternoon I got my motor running, headed out to the highway looking for adventure with whatever came my way and ended up singing Riders On The Storm as I got drenched in the afternoon deluge. I do like Michilin motorcycle tires!!!

    This should keep you off the streets for a bit: http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=54218.0

    AuriCaps are pretty darned good although they may be out your price range depending upon what size you need.
  23. SteveFord
    Yeah, that room looks great. I'd keep the fireplace, though.

    I'm getting more absent minded as I age but still have a pretty good remembery if I recall correctly. It does take longer to do anything, though, as I'll be on my way to go somewhere and realize that I forgot something, go back inside to get it, go do something else, get back outside and then remember that I forgot to do the thing I went inside to do in the first place. Being institutionalized may turn out to be a blessing as long as they don't forget about me.

    Rumble is bearings - when is the last time all of the bearings and pivots have been lubed? That's why I own Well Tempereds - everything floats in goo and the motor is isolated from the plinth so there is no rumble driving me crazy(er)...
