for the record - I never used adjective "wireless" with conjuction with Opalum technology. I may admit that the use of term "wireless" by Opalum may be slightly misleading if you don't study their blurp attentively. they refer to their speakers as "wireless" because you can transmit a musical...

no, they don't. I thought I made that feature quite clear in my previous reply to matt's post. or so I thought. oh well, gotta practice more my English skill I guess...

that's correct, I'm interested in a set of Opalum flow.4810 speakers. but I haven't heard one yet. and telling frankly I don't think I'll have an opportunity to have a listen before I make a move to own one. fortunately Opalum offers 1 month trial period when buying through their web store, but...

wrong about that one. Audiovectors use Opalum technology to "activate" their speakers which means there's no mains cable connected to the speakers. both digital signal driving DSP modules and DC current required to power up the amps flow on the same thin (18 AWG equivalent to 1mm cross section)...

Hi Rin Motion and welcome to the forum. to answer your questions. it's a good think you decided to go for ESL speakers. but I personally wouldn't go for the ones you found. so poor condition on connector is unacceptable. if the owner can't ensure that the connectors remain in good condition...

this is the golden thought of the thread IMO. HI-FI world has much more to offer than just your local store round the corner. it's bad idea to restrict ones choices to what's available at your local's. if I was like that I'd end up with Marantz entry level separates and maybe some budget Kefs...

no, I didn't manage demo anything. but I don't care. the tech and its implementation within the product more than convince me. besides there are a few reviews avaialble on-line which are basically very positive. if it sounds well to others I can't see a reason why it won't sound well to me...

if everything is going to work out as I plan then soonner or later I'll be buying equipment for about GBP5000 myself. firstly I must shift my current set up. I'll be going for a pair of opalum flow.4810 speaker system (those are the more rectangular, white ones on the picture below). I say...

careful there! before you know it you'll be preaching vinyl noise don't hinder sound quality, or higher THD in tube amps is meaningless, or [horror!] that crossover distortion is irrelevant. all this must be inconsequential trivia for how could it be heard at some -50db?

that may be so. but it would also denote very poor engineering standards. for example I've got inexpensive Creative HD external sound card, ca. E100 when bought new a few years ago. I can attest that it's dead silent, even on my BA IEMs, ie. extremely-sensitive-earphones. I don't really think it...

a question to B&O active speakers owners. and of other active speakers as well. can you hear "hissssss" from the tweeters when the speakers are on but no music is playing? (and yes that means with your ear right up to the tweeter). I got really interested because yesterday I clicked into a post...

others have already pointed correctly on the electronics within your audio chain to be the culprit. most likely (like 99% sure of that) the amp has very poor S/N ratio - means that either you've got a defective unit (doubt it) or the marketing dept went crazy tad too much with preparation of the...

ESL panels in your spekaers cover everything from 350Hz up to limits of audibility. by definition a single driver can't be out-of-phase with itself so SAM can't bring any improvement there, if we're considering adjusting for acoustical phase alignment in multi-driver speakers. the only but here...

the MDi is not the new model. it'll soon be superseeded. don't know exctly when as by my knowledge the new one should already be announced. (maybe some unexpected delays?...) either way I think it's worth a wait if you're not too much in a hurry to part with your money ;)

if you're getting fond on ESLs you might be also interested in Audiostatic. I know from a well informed source that a new model is soon to be released and is supposed to be "better than anything before" thanks to making use of new technologies. the guy, Ben Peters, was mentioning...
