what is your opinion ?


Hi everyone, last 18 years I've got hooked up to vintage Tube amplifiers, prior to that I was rather happy with SS muscle amps driven to my Apogee Scintilla and Duetta sig's truly open 3D soundstage Few tube amps was able accept Apogee marriage but not  as good as SS amps, until I ended up bargain priced infamous Altec's voice the theatre speakers not a wife pleaser but luckly I've  got a dedicated music room, never looked back since then ,,WE design 91 , WE46C , RIP Don Garber, even loftin White design SET amps T.Mayer Attilio Caccamo of Tektron some genious Japanese design SET Amps they all have unique presantation complimented by incredable sound of 45, 2A3, VT52,300B, E406N, even modern production Sophia 206 , and many more  ! my question is why these old school design audio sounds nearer to reality ? naturally we are all aware of room acoustics tuning our  rooms etc, etc are we listening equipment or music ? do we really need furniture grade Audio equipment ? or maybe we humans are we trying to re invent the wheel again ?

How about resurrect this thread for a bit?

@sabih I'm currently using a 300B amp to drive my big old JBLs. I switched from solid state to tubes about two years ago and have no regrets. Economics have played a part of my putting my system together but altogether things sound pretty good.

@atmasphere I'm constantly impressed by your generosity, openness, patience and willingness to share your knowledge. You demonstrate a very high level of integrity, and for this I am truly grateful.
