| Looking for info on speaker loads? FWIW I had a Parasound A21 pushing Magnepan MMG's. The amp never clipped but as I pushed the volume up I could almost feel the current draw on the amp. With the other two speakers I have, one pair is 8 ohm and the other pair is 4 ohm i never felt ... | |
| Tube Integrated Under 1,500 shtinkydog I have had a great experience with Line Magnetic. I bought a LM 216 integrated tube amp from my dealer who stated that LM Audio is 100% behind their products. He told me ARC cannot say that. I played the 216 alot for 5 years until a tr... | |
| Tube Integrated Under 1,500 IMHO I would try to save up or extend your budget. For used the recommendation for the ARC gear is solid, but new I would look at Line Magnetic or Willsenton. The Willsenton R800i looks very good at just about $3K, BTW some Chinese companies do ma... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts jcs01, Now that this thread has come back to life a bit maybe other Tekton owners who have had more time with the speakers can chime in and share their own experiences and also talk about that concern. I just use digital sources (streamer and DAC... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Jcs01, Mine are not broken in yet but they sound better every week. One thing I did notice with them was that they tend to reveal more of what is good or bad in my recordings. If I have a terrible recording they sound awful, but when I put on a g... | |
| Up to $4000US tower speakers for Jazz and Classical Music BTW as a Vandersteen owner I can tell you that the 2CE sounds best when one gets the right placement in the room and recognizing they are time and phase accurate speakers. The front face (top) of the speaker has to be tilted back by adjusting the ... | |
| Vandersteen Forum Just buy the 2CE Sig III and be done with it. Enjoy the sound. The Vandersteen speaker brand and 2CE model would not around for decades if it were not for the fact they are well designed and sound very good even in 2022. I guess one could argue t... | |
| Full range speaker recommendation The best stand mount speakers I have heard are Wilson Audio Duette. You get incredible sound with these. If you combine these with subwoofers.... I can't imagine the sound. Interestingly there is a listing on Audiogon for a used pair. Other than ... | |
| Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark Another interesting observation to note. Some companies are designing and building audio products in China that are as good or better than made in other countries. I have a Line Magnetic tube integrated amp that sounds amazing and I would like to ... | |
| Do audiophiles creat the high prices we complain about. noske If I wanted a sports car (which I really don't but this is for comparison purposes only) I would buy a new or used Corvette. There are Lambos and Ferraris and very nice and expensive sports cars but I think the Vette is a classic and also b... | |
| Full range speaker recommendation What are the sound qualities are are looking for/ What do the ATC's lack? Are you wanting stand mount or floor standing speakers? Keeping the REL subs? Do they integrate well for you... enough to use with the newer speakers? | |
| Do audiophiles creat the high prices we complain about. I shop budget h-fi. I cannot afford the top of the line stuff. Not knocking those who do... | |
| RiP Peter Breuninger AVShowrooms Very sad. My condolences to his family. His review coverage was awesome. I really liked his comments. | |
| Vandersteen Forum "In 2022 almost anyones speakers sound better than 25 year old Vandersteen technology." I guess I should have known we might be dealing with a bulb that is not the brightest on the Christmas tree. | |
| Up to $4000US tower speakers for Jazz and Classical Music OP and his wife. Let us all know what you ended up getting. Hope it suits you both.. |
