    Status Acoustics Titus 8T Floorstanding Speaker System Review

    Funny my brother-in-law and I were just discussing this weekend if I ever had to move, it would probably be easier to remove a wall and get a crane in here to move the 8Ts out of the house then to try to bring them downstairs. Wish I could install an elevator but damn that's too big of an...

    Status Acoustics Titus 8T Floorstanding Speaker System Review

    TAD makes great sounding speakers. I have heard many of them but not the R1 models. I doubt the R1's have the bass capabilities of the Status speakers since the 8T's have an extra 10" driver and a huge box volume. It's a different animal but it doesn't make the TAD any less relevant as a top...

    I can't fit bigger speakers up my flight of steps so this is my final upgrade ;)

    Status Acoustics Titus 8T Floorstanding Speaker System Review

    So I take it you heard these speakers personally to make that judgement? Granted they are expensive, but I've never heard any other tower speaker producing the level of realism, depth and dynamics of this system and I've heard speakers costing $79/pr all the way to 100k+/pr.

    Which speaker companies are honest when rating their impedance, and which companies lie?

    The IEC standard is pretty set for speaker impedance. Loudspeaker Measurements Standard: Our Procedure for Objectively Analyzing Speaker Performance | Audioholics Honestly people beat up receiver manufacturers about power ratings when those companies are giving you every technology under the...

    Newb needs help. Aperion Grand Verus Tower, Infinity P363. - Help Gene!!!

    The Infinity's really do grab you with a lot of sound. However, I suggest to focus in on tonality and accuracy of vocals. The Infinity tweeters run really hot. They give an initial impression of great detail but can fatigue overtime, especially with female vocals and brass instruments. Still...

    What Turntable do you have?

    I figured as much. I agree, I don't like messing with the belt to change speed but I only have 1 45 record so I don't do it. It took me hours to get everything setup and balanced on this table and I like to mess with it as little as possible. The Cartridge used on this table is said to be...

    What Turntable do you have?

    Agreed. I've become a Vinyl junkie myself these days. I am spinning with a Marantz PM-11S2 designed by Clear Audio. A really nice table, though its manual to change the speed which is a bit of a bummer and it doesn't auto retract the arm when the record is done playing :(

    Oppo BDP-105 Audiophile Universal Blu-ray Player

    Try connecting both players to the same preamp using either unbalanced or balanced analog outs from each player. Make sure both players utilize the same type of connections as it's not fair to use unbalanced for one and balanced for the other. Have two bit perfect copies of the same music...

    Yamaha Separates? The CX-A5000 AV Preamp and MX-A5000 11CH Amplifier is here!

    Eventually I will likely test these products. I am pretty backlogged testing other amps at the moment. I agree, I won't upgrade my Yamaha RX-Z7 in my family room system to a Yamaha successor until they come out with one with an orange display. I really identify Yamaha with that personally and...

    MKSound Loudspeakers are Back in Black!

    I meant from a marketing and communication aspect. They haven't solicited any reviews or sent any press releases, etc in quite some time.

    Oppo BDP-105 Audiophile Universal Blu-ray Player

    Agreed. I've studied the design of the BDP-105 in great detail. I don't see how its possible to achieve better analog audio performance than what they've already been able to achieve. If it were possible, I'd like to do a quick a/b comparison with my ears and my Audio Precision :)

    Your very first posts integrated external links to photobuckets. Our system flagged that as spam but I restored those posts for you. I would suggest toning that down a bit, especially until you gain some traction here as a regular member.

    Bryston Model T Floorstanding Speakers

    Bryston Tweeter Guys; There was some debate here on what tweeter the Bryston speakers use. Just a quick update. I confirmed with James Tanner that the Bryston speakers are in fact using the identical 1" titanium dome tweeter found in Axiom product starting with their M2V3 bookshelf speakers...
