Hi: My friend lent me an Accuphase E-480 for one week in August. Strengths were in the lower mid-range and bass frequencies, and instrument timbre. Image depth and a comparative dryness were it’s weak points. I would have been happy with it if I hadn’t heard the EAR V20. It makes me appreciate...

A friend is lending me his Accuphase E-480 in mid-August to see how it sounds with the Renaissance 15a’s. I’m currently using the EAR v20 integrated amp, which works wonderfully with the 15a’s, but I can’t pass on this offer. I’ll report back with my impressions.

Hi Russr: I’m in the north end of Toronto. The view is looking away from the city, in a high floor of a condo. I keep my window blinds up all of the time, and the Stillpoints Aperture panels mitigate the reflections off of the windows.

Here’s a list of accessories and tweaks I’ve purchased over the years. It’s fun trying out new devices, but I think I’ve reached my limit :) Some have made a noticeable difference (tier 1), others I’m not so sure (tier 3). Tier 1: - speaker placement - Stillpoints Aperture Panels, on front...

A little music to wind down the day…

Hi: Here’s a snippet of music I recorded on my iPhone. Let’s see how the new video upload feature works …

I received my custom-made silk speaker covers. They’re easy to use, and don’t appear to cause static build-up.

After moving my speakers 6” closer together, I reran the Anthem room correction software. The software indicated there was a new release, and it also asked if I wanted to install a new release of the 15a firmware. This is the first time I’ve encountered a firmware update. I couldn’t find...

I’ve ordered a set of covers from my Etsy source. When they arrive I’ll post some photos.

You’re right, the 15a’s do come with a cover. However, it’s clunky because it covers the entire speaker, including the base cabinet. I want to cover the panel only, and be easy to use.

DaveA mentioned he purchased pillow cases to cover the panels on his speakers. That’s a great idea, but I couldn’t find a size that works for the 15a. I found a local supplier on Etsy who can make a custom-sized cover. I’m thinking of using a black silk material to avoid static electricity. Am I...

After reading a posting from a user praising Sanders speaker cables, I checked Canuck Audio Mart and found them for sale in my area, along with 11a’s. For less than $350CAN, I thought I’d give the cables a try. The seller delivered them within hours, and I’ve had them running for a week. Sanders...

The 15A’s two 12” dynamic woofer drivers, each powered by a 500W class-D amplifier, produce a solid low end. The EAR V20 excels at imaging, and is capable of driving the panels to produce a full sound that fills up the room, e.g., music from a large orchestra. I recently purchased the Inakustik...

Hi: I purchased the Stillpoints used from a friend, and ordered the adaptors from a local dealer. The speakers are no longer tilted forward. Bill.
