| Mcintosh mc275 or rogue m150/180 Thank you all for your responses. I have stumbled upon a couple of other options that I would love to get opinions in light of the other options.First is Conrad Johnson. It's either the premier eight or premier twelve that will meet my power needs... | |
| Mcintosh mc275 or rogue m150/180 Thank you Raymonda. If I may, have you experienced any difficulties with tube life? I would be interested in trying the 120 just because of the price point. They are certainly easier to swallow used than shoveling out for a pair of mc275. I think ... | |
| Mcintosh mc275 or rogue m150/180 I am reading that rogues are hard on tubes. At their used price I might be willing to try them, but not if I will be retubing frequently. | |
| Janszen za2.1 vs nola metro grand ref series2 I know that I seem to be the only one posting replies here, but I thought I would try to further clarify the "headphones" comment.I remember hearing a similar effect one time while at a private concert of Chris Issac. I was seated center stage not... | |
| Janszen za2.1 vs nola metro grand ref series2 further impressions. there are 3 things that the gallos do better. the first is bass. the janszens do bass well, but I see why david recommends a 200w solid state amp. I wish there were a way to biwire the speakers. the bass has significantly more... | |
| Janszen za2.1 vs nola metro grand ref series2 It is a real sound. I have been in venues where the sound did indeed envelope you in a way that the point source wasn't distinguishable. I can't explain it better. Yes I think it is a good thing. | |
| Mcintosh mc275 or rogue m150/180 Oops. Spoke too soon. Ran out of gas with my 60w. The sound is glorious though, just won't reach 100db. Close though 98.9. Btw no I don't listen at those volumes, but I do listen at 90. At 90 there are peaks at the top of what the Sixpacs can do. | |
| Mcintosh mc275 or rogue m150/180 my janszen speakers arrived today and by what I am hearing this all may be a moot point. holy smokes these things are holographic. 94db spikes and I didn't even realize it was loud. we'll see how this continues to flesh out. thanks again for the i... | |
| Janszen za2.1 vs nola metro grand ref series2 ok so first impressions. these are very different. much more focused with a smaller sweet spot both vertically and horizontally. The sound is unlike anything I have heard previously. mind you my room is small so that limits some of the acoustics. ... | |
| Mcintosh mc275 or rogue m150/180 Thanks to all for the recommendations. On a couple of points. 1. I have a new Emotive Audio Sira all tube preamp that will never leave my system. Fred built it for me and it's probably the only bespoke piece of audio gear that I will ever own. It ... | |
| Mcintosh mc275 or rogue m150/180 Just curious regarding the sound differences and if there were other recommendations to get 150w+ tube that is around 8-9 k | |
| Janszen za2.1 vs nola metro grand ref series2 On the truck for delivery on Monday. I will post impressions once they arrive. I got a little holiday discount on them as well which was nice. | |
| Mcintosh mc275 or rogue m150/180 Bojack...very good point. I have no intention of getting rid of the six pacs. I do however realize their limitations. As my current reference amp they precluded my purchase of a pristine pair of egglestonworks andra ii speakers. They are also a ba... | |
| Janszen za2.1 vs nola metro grand ref series2 thank you again everyone for your feedback. it is through a dedicated community like this that makes it possible to wade through the endless possibilities in hifi. I am currently just watching the calendar until the speakers arrive.brad | |
| Janszen za2.1 vs nola metro grand ref series2 Ordered a set from David today. I will certainly revisit this thread once I have a chance to listen. The waiting game now begins... |
