Pizza Tapes

Thanks but I’m not in the market. Just thought these were pretty insane looking. On one hand I think, how could these possibly get measured accurately? On the other hand I think, you don’t measure them, you LISTEN to them!

These look just insane

Found the big overall effect on the bass performance- it’s the taps on the Jolida amp… Never noticed the changes on other speakers, but with these, the 4ohm taps make it sound more like comparable solid state amps I have here, bass boost is gone. But the rest of it sounds not great. So I’m...

This is my setup now. Cleanest it been for a number of years…

Wow this takes me back. In the mid 90’s I was flipping through gear having the upgrade-itis. (Guess I never completely shook that..). Anyway I went from Boston Acoustics VR30’s (employee purchase), to Dahlquist DQ-10’s, then to Magnepan (MG IIIa I Think). Had plenty of power with a Nakamichi...

Hard a minor scare last night. Was listening to Chick Corea and I heard some some clipping on some piano peaks, left channel. Made me think it was a bad tweeter on these speakers I JUST bought. Maybe something from the electronics. Turned out to be in the recording. Headphones sure are handy.

Nice!

Yeah I noticed his prices bumped up about 20-30% too. Sniffer liked those but gave fair warning about spending all that bread on something not auditioned… and it’s a good point. If go for the crites upgrades on these 5.5’s , the outcome could steer me closer- or away- depending on that outcome.

How’s the noise floor on all that? I don’t remember the WOPL being noisy- but I don’t recall it being dead-silent either

I honestly really liked the new Cornwalls A LOT. But man $6500 is a big ask for a monkey coffin, where most expensive part looks like the veneer on 3 sides. Dealers will not budge. Probably breaks their agreement. Pricing on everything has gotten really crazy all around lately.

ho lee shit

Very impressive. You have a dedicated circuit for all that?!? I can’t imagine a regular 20amp would be enough
