Components that floored you!

[hemantwaghe]

if i were you i'd listen to the es80 again before i would decide. and also other speakers in the price range. i dont rate them too highly. and neither the hk 3480. very poor soundstage

Afj Some of the highly priced systems ,in right settings sounded too dry to me!this is matter of Indivisusl taste ....and taste is in noone's control !!! ......I prefer Jack Daniels over Black Lbel ( I like BL but things are different with Jack!) and more I'll prefer Haywards 5000 ( Indian local super strong Beer) Over Imported Corona & Tiger!

And people's taste is in noone's hand and market is not governed by best products but product satisfying a lot different needs! Again Bose was ( and maybe still) world's biggest speaker manufacturer and bagpiper due to it's high sales comes in top whiskys by volume!Ditto in Cars Honda City which maybe lacking certain performance traits , but providing good looks,very good brand image and amazing fuel quality is top seller in it's catagory!

Understanding consumer and gauging his demands is not science but extreamly difficult art!

Till couple of days back i was getting floored by own system of Oppo 980 + Norge 1000 + Mission M35i. Cause thats the only system i had heared...:lol:

However i had the oppurtunity to listen our forum member Bobby's set up.
Nad CDP + Naim amp + usher BE718 speakers.....
Pure Nirvana......the vocals sounded so real .....the music so sweet....:clapping::clapping:....truly floored...

Focal Electra floorstanders paired surprisingly with a Denon receiver!

 

[thevortex]

Also a combination of vintage Proceed Pre and Power amplifiers! They were absolutely silky and mesmeric! No matter what speaker you listened to them on.

the reason i wrote that was that there are quite a few people out there that listen to one set of speakers and think its the best thing they've ever heard. not knowing that in the same price range there are better systems out there. i was one such person and mistakes that you make while buying audio systems are expensive. i just wanted jaudere to listen to other systems out there (if he hasnt already) before he makes his final choice

by the way im very familiar with liquor brands out there. lived my growing years in hyd. and my favourite is old monk and correct me if im wrong, is still one of the cheapest spirits you can buy

hey im not complaining that its at a good price. esp when we were in college it used to make a huge difference. used to get it from the army canteen for less than 50 bucks. lol about your friend. when he said that he swore by old monk he took it literally

I got your point afj. I have heard NAD-PSB, Jamo-Denon, Jamo-onkyo,HK-JBL, Yamaha-mission,yamaha-yamaha, sonodyne-sonodyne, Yamaha-Jamo, Yamaha-infinity, Proton-polk audio,Norge-norge combos. but after reading many post, i do think that i will have to listen at least to MS, MA,wharfs before i make up my mind. I am yet to listen to tube amps. so may tings, such a short life!!

I tasted beer in 5th std(11years of age) and thought that the taste was such a sh...t that i never tried it again till today(my age is 32 now). may be i am odd man out.

The pictures of these MBL beauties only floor me.....

But, i was floored for these...at chennai.

 

[vinod_david]

The entire package cost 1 crore +. The sound was three dimensional or four, whatever. More than the sound, it's their sheer beauty, as seen from pic they are are not boxy at all, strange design, it somewhat resembles a flower like thing. And all black its just stunning for the eyes.

 

[heliumflight]

Right now listening to AR2ax that has floored me with it's warm east-coast sound. Very different from Akai and Pioneer.

 

[Kumar101]

Meridian DSP active speakers, altough active design is pretty common now in the 90's when these came out they were pretty radical and the Music they produced was simply astonishing.

Heard them at a show in London in the mid 90's and just about everybody's jaw dropped to the floor after hearing these.
