Vimberg Speakers
Thanks guys @audiotroy you’re right, I’ve had my eyes on the X1 and especially on T+A for a while too I think I’m almost set on the speakers, now I need to decide how to drive them I’m looking to build a simple system, I was looking to have the Auralic Vega G2 as a streamer / Dac / Preamp directly into the Constellation Mono 1.0. What do you think of these components / setup? The other option as per your suggestion would be to have the Lumin X1 into the T+A PA 3100 HV? For roughly the same budget. In that case, I think the constellation blocks would probably drive the speakers better? Do you think these speakers are hard to drive them being 4 ohms? For T+A, ideally you’d need to add the power supply or best, the mono blocks with the power supply but then the budget quickly goes through the roof... For the Tonda vs the Mino, the Tonda are just too big for my room... Can you use the Lumin X1 directly with power amps? Can it serve as a preamp? I saw lumin uses it with their new power amp but on their site they say that using it as volume control is not advisable? /// Can LUMIN control my amplifier volume? Currently, this feature is not available. The app volume control digitally adjusts the output from LUMIN. This is not necessarily the highest quality method and therefore we recommend that you use your amplifier’s remote control for this purpose. /// |
@willmacc, it's always hard to listen to evaluate a system as something so simple as speaker cable or the room itself can totally ruin the experience, so if you don't have previous experience with the components or the place, you don't know what you're listening to... Thanks for your suggestion for the Falcon, I will see if I can hear them somewhere but from my experience, I have never been keen on ribbon tweeters. @larry5729, they do list their specifications on their page https://vimberg.de/mino/ They sell for about 26K euros in Europe for the ceramic tweeter and basic finish. Add 2k for piano lacquer and I think about 8k for Diamond tweeter. Concerning your question, I don't find it stupid since I am wondering the same thing. I think in HIFI, it's always a matter of compromises. They probably do this to achieve something else on another level. @audiotroy So for you, a good setup would be lumin x1 - T+A PA 3100 - Vimberg Mino? When will you receive the Amea? Would you recommend something else with similar spirit? |
@soix I actually did write to Jeff Fritz, thanks for the advice. For those interested he published my mail as well as his response https://www.soundstageultra.com/index.php/feedback |
