    Garrard Speakers

    Dropped them to go into some listening sessions, not bad, but not great either. Bass response is a little quick but not exciting enough, the midrange is lacking some. Highs are a little shrill on some tracks. Definitely on the more dull vs mellow side of things. I can hear the potential for...

    Garrard Speakers

    Haha, my bad on the pics. After about an hour of listening, they definitely need a recap. Sound is very neutral and not too bass heavy like how they look.

    I totally agree with these speakers being the best in the market at the 1K mark shipped! Beautiful pieces of furniture and really well built!

    Zu Audio Omen Dirty Weekends

    Hey HiFiJeff, yeah overall best speakers in that midfi price range and yes about having them sitting directly on the carpet holds back all the dynamics from the finger ports. I’ve had them on the carpet and absolutely did not like the sound. Mine is almost 1” off the floor, but still want more...

    I’ve put it about an 1” just for giggles and think they just need a little more bass in IMHO

    Yeah, Gerrit @ Zu recommended 1/4” off the floor, he suggested the 25ohm resistors because some amps just see them better.

    Zu Audio Omen Dirty Weekends

    I have been listening to these with the 25ohm resistors and can say, I did not like sound at all. Went to a Unico Hybrid Integtated and now on a SS with an Adcom GFP-750 pre, GFA 5500 amp. They handle the mids great but the bass is somewhat lacking to me still. Highs come out rather neutral to...

    Zu Audio Omen Dirty Weekends

    Hey guys I received my pair last week and have listened to them for about 12 hours now on a Musical Fidelity A300 and Oppo BDP-103D, Kimber Kable interconnects and speaker cables. I too have too many speakers but all I can say is Gerrit at Zu is cool as hell for helping me with the little...

    “Superman” Speakers

    Still trying to put together what these might be, mids are coming up as a possible drivers from Marantz?

    “Superman” Speakers

    Some speaker fill inside the cabinet, bass is somewhat what you’d think it be with no port, has a classic sound and fills the room easily.

    “Superman” Speakers

    I’m not sure if they are homemade, just because everything looks too precise?

    “Superman” Speakers

    They actually sound very balanced and open. Running them on Musical Fidelity A300 integrated right now, will try them on a Jolida Integrated tube in a week.

    “Superman” Speakers

    Hey guys, just wanted to see if anyone knows what these speakers are? I referenced Superman because of the obvious top of cabinet picture design. Looks to be from the late 70’s just because of the look. Bi-directional design: Each top half houses (2) 8” drivers, (2) 3” mids, (2) 1” tweeters...

    Audiostatic electrostatic Speakers

    I just acquired a pair of ES-300-RS speakers and also the matching pair of Subwoofers. None came with any power supplies or stands. Curious if anyone has any knowledge on these as to what kind of power supplies they use?

    Cornwalls with Cane grills running on Dynaco Mark iii

    One the woofers has developed a little voice coil rub and is audible now at somewhat low listening levels, also I've been contacting Bob Crites and have determined they also need new crossovers now, as these are all original from 1984. What you do you guys think is a fair market value on these...

    Cornwalls with Cane grills running on Dynaco Mark iii

    Had 3 pairs of La Scala (all sold) and this is my second pair of Cornwalls, definitely like the Cornwall/Heresy sound a lot better.

    Cornwalls with Cane grills running on Dynaco Mark iii

    I never even thought of any other color would look better, just gives it a nice earthy feel.

    It's definitely not the best, but definitely brings some detail out.
