Gradient Helsinki 1.5 loudspeaker

Aug 09, 2010

A clever engineer with an interest in home audio says that the real obstacle to high-fidelity sound is the adverse and unpredictable way in which speakers interact with most domestic rooms. To address that need, he brings to market a loudspeaker that disperses sound in a new and original way. Controversy ensues. Controversy endures.

Otto von Bismarck (1815–1898), the Prime Minister of Prussia who brought about the unification of Germany, was not a nice man. But he was no dummy, either. One of his most prophetic remarks was in response to a journalist's question about what Bismarck thought to be the single most decisive factor in modern history: "The fact that the North Americans speak English."

Submitted by mark evans on

I am huge fan of microdynamics and Bass in a loudspeaker.

Does anyone know the differences or if there is any differences at all between the EgglestonWorks Andra II compared with Avalon Indra.

I do appreciate all comments and advice. Perhaps JA could weigh in on this.

Thank you,

Help? How do I how to hook 2ch preamp into HT system

Hi Guys,

For several months I've had a Adcom GFP-750 (preamp with HT Bypass) that I've been procrastinating hooking into my existing system. I'm hoping you can help with the best way to wire/connect this into my system.

Its currently shared for music/surround but I wanted to focus on improving 2 channel stereo...thus the reason for the preaamp with bypass.

Existing equipment as follows:

NHT Power 5 amp.
Rotel RSX-1057 receiver (with I'm using at the HT Pre)
NHT Classic 4s.

If I want more dynamics in my system, should I emulate Mr. Fremer's reference system?

I would like to improve the dynamics of my system (ML Prodigy, Mccormack DNA-500). If I upgrade the speakers, it would only be to another electrostat (ML CLX or Soundlab). However, I wonder if I should model my system after Mr. Fremer, with huge SS amps, Shunyata power cords, etc.

Is there anything else I can do to improve the dynamics? Thx
