Re: Yamaha ns1000

My son has a pair which he got off Noël Cloney a few years ago. They are a large and heavy stand mounter with beryllium midrange and tweeter and a 12 inch bass unit.They are really excellent. All the drivers integrate in a seamless manner. Bass is powerful but tight and well controlled. Midrange is ...

Re: Your SINGLE biggest Hifi regret?

Re: Hi-Fi Shops in Ireland

Another thumbs up for Cloney Audio. When I first went to Cloney Audio they were in Leinster Mews. I have never shopped anywhere else. Customer Service is second to none. In all those years Noel has never tried to push things on me. He has only ever recommended products that he thought would suit the...

Re: Upgraditis part 1: Subwoofers

Re: Upgraditis part 1: Subwoofers

Well if it is scale / soundstage you are after.... perhaps you should be looking at speakers with physically BIGGER drivers. Bigger drivers can displace a greater volume of air, i.e. a 8" cone will displace more air than a 6" cone. I'm using B&W speakers... and believe me a 15" d...
