The Hartleys I wrote about <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/artdudleylistening/106listen">last month</A> may be the loudspeaker drivers that time forgot, but the venerable Lowthers of Sidcup, England, reign supreme as the horseshoe crabs of the loudspeaker world: strange, ungainly things that have scarcely changed since the days when Franz Schmidt and Robert Johnson walked the earth. Literally.

The Fifth Element #34 Kind of Blue on (Mostly) Dead Trees

Mark Wilder, senior mastering engineer for Sony Music Studios, looked expectantly from John Atkinson to Bob Saglio to me and asked, "Are you ready?" As it had been my inquiry that had resulted in this mind-boggling, once-in-a-lifetime, peak-experience get-together, and as no one else was speaking up, I replied, "As ready as we'll ever be."

Bryston B60 and Primare i30

Amplification
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

I am currently on a lookout for new amp and speakers. Room is 28m2 and I listen to everything from soft jazz to loud rock.
From all that I've read, Primare i30 sounds like a good choice. Unfortunately, they are currently unavailable for inspection at the local dealership.
In the meantime I've heard Bryston B60 + PMC GB1. Loved the sound, especially GB1 bass. Maybe I should have pushed the amp harder because 60W may be too little for 87 db/W/m speakers. Then again, dealer's room was smaller than my own.

Sub Placement in a 12 by 14 den

Question for you sub guru's

I have a 12 by 14 den that is half used as a working office and half as my relaxing room (interpreted as music and reading). Question: Can a sub be placed behind one of the speakers quite close to the wall. If it measured no more than 12 by 16 I could just manage it. The desk, file cabinet,bookshelves, a 30 inch T.V , entertainment center, and tw9o chairs with atable lamp limit my options.

Vinyl surface noise issue

Analog Sources
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Hi, I was wondering if someone could 'define' an acceptable level of surface noise when listening to a vinyl recording LOUD. Its very audible on my system and I was wondering if there was something in the setup/type of cartridge that may be contributing (I've already cleaned my records).

BONUS: colored vinyl seems to have a noisier floor than black vinyl, I always wondered why this is. Anyone got the answer??

Thanks so much guys,
Andy
