Mike Lavigne's SystemGreat new pics of the room. It looks fantastic. You certainly have some might fine gear to listen to. So those tube amps are three watts? did I read that right? Congrats and I am sure you enjoy you... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |
ozy's systemGlad to see that the Stella's are still sounding great. I can only imagine what the VAC+Focal combo is like. I really hope to hear the Utopia EM at some point. I am doing my best to get my 1027's s... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |
DJ, Please Don't Stop The MUSIC!What you are doing sounds like what I did. I got rid of my big couch and bought two lazy boy recliners. Plus I took out another chair that I had in the room. I also had some friends re-arrange my r... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemThanks for the info Mike. Those look like great arms and carts. Having a mono and stereo cart at the ready has to be very easy. Since I have only one arm my table I will just stick with the stereo ... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemHey Mike. I will go check it out for sure. It seems to be a very nice table. Plus it does look cool. Because I am lazy and I really don't want to try and search this thread, what and how many arms ... posted over 14 years ago | View comment | |
ozy's systemAgreed %100. I was really floored when I went from having no treatments at all to 8 GIK treatments in my room. One of the biggest(not price wise though) upgrades I have ever made. posted almost 15 years ago | View comment | |
ozy's systemWhoops, I guess I should have looked more closely. I see you are using GIK as well. I found that they really helped out in my room. posted almost 15 years ago | View comment | |
ozy's systemThanks for all of the explanations. I am sure they are fantastic sounding speakers. That room sure does seem like you covered all of the basses. So do those panels act as room treatments as well? O... posted almost 15 years ago | View comment | |
ozy's systemI am such an idiot. I forgot the most important question. How do you find the EM technology in the speaker. Can you tune it to your room? How does it sound compared to some of the other speakers yo... posted almost 15 years ago | View comment | |
ozy's systemIt's a good thing my room and budget are small otherwise I could see me having some major issues :). I ended up with Live Line cables. How big is your room? I have always had a fondness for Focal. ... posted almost 15 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemThat table looks sweet. I hope to get up to Barry's when gets his all setup. posted almost 15 years ago | View comment | |
ozy's systemI understand. The Stella's still look great in that room. We all have to go within the limitations of our rooms. I am sure they sound great. I hope to get down to a store at some point and check ou... posted almost 15 years ago | View comment | |
ozy's systemOK, I will admit it, I really don't know what to say. Stella Utopia's. One away from the Grand Utopia. I have no doubt that system sounds out of this world. Vac, Esoteric, Utopia EM. Not sure how m... posted almost 15 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemThanks Mike. Maybe when I get the Audience I will see if Barry can bring over the A10's for me to try. But I am happy with the progression of my system. I would guess that they would be a benefit t... posted almost 15 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemThanks for the reply. On good clean records it can sound very impressive. Barry brought over the Wave Kinetic speaker feet when he installed the cables. On my 1027's We both clearly heard the impro... posted almost 15 years ago | View comment | |
batos SystemYep, it still looks fantastic. There is a dealer sort of near me who sells JM Labs and has the Scala's on display. I may have to make a trip down there to check them out. Enjoy your system. posted almost 15 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemWhoops, Just noticed a typo. That should be "Live Line" cables not Live Live. They really are an improvement over my older Transparent Audio cables. Like I mentioned before, with good records, The ... posted almost 15 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemHey Mike. That is a Great looking and I am sure fantastic sounding table. Congrats on it. Your system just seems to get better and better. Is that "new" rack that I see a replacement for, or in add... posted almost 15 years ago | View comment | |
DJ, Please Don't Stop The MUSIC!That's great to hear. I just had my room professionally calibrated and it sounds fantastic. I may play with the resonators at some point but right now I am very happy. I have a dealer where I can g... posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |
DJ, Please Don't Stop The MUSIC!I might have forgot to tell you, but I got the GIK room treatments. I am very very happy with the results. Thanks for your feed back on them. It was extremely helpful. Glad your room is progressing... posted about 16 years ago | View comment | |
DJ, Please Don't Stop The MUSIC!I am going for the Guilford of Maine Fabrics as well. I plan on getting Aqamarine. It almost matches my carpet perfectly. Plus I will be saving a lot of money over the ART panels. I will be getting... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
DJ, Please Don't Stop The MUSIC!Regarding your Gik panels. It looks like you got them with one of their optional colors. How does the overall quality look. From the pictures, they look pretty nice. posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
DJ, Please Don't Stop The MUSIC!The ART Versions are a bit more then the standard ones so I may have to do this in stages. I will probably get the 242's first and put them on the front wall. Then I will get the 244's and put them... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
DJ, Please Don't Stop The MUSIC!Joey, I have decided that I am finally going to get some room treatments. I have decided on 2x242's in the front of the room, 2x244's in the rear of the room and the same table trap that you have. ... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
Beauty and the BeastsOK. I have to say it. WOW. Grand Utopia EM's. They look fantastic. I am sure that they sound simply stunning. Congrats on a great system. I love Focal. I have the 1027's and the cc1000be in a HT/2c... posted over 16 years ago | View comment |
