| Best amp for natural timbre of unamplified acoustic instruments & vocals w/ Revel F32? I did try them briefly with my Manley KT90 Retro 100 amps. I will try again. I thought less involving, less control than the CJ. | |
| Best amp for natural timbre of unamplified acoustic instruments & vocals w/ Revel F32? I might add that I just acquired these without listening first and at a good price. | |
| Best amp for natural timbre of unamplified acoustic instruments & vocals w/ Revel F32? Thanks to all for the responses! I am using them with a Conrad Johnson MF2250A 120w/ch solid state amp, VTL TL2.5 tube preamp and predominantly BelCanto Dac1.1. A first for me, recently the circuit breaker tripped in the CJ on Reference Record... | |
| Upgrade from Harbeth Compact 7 Jperry, How do the less expensive PROAC FLOORSTANDERS that would be available used compare to the Harbeth C7? | |
| Upgrade from Harbeth Compact 7 Pre is VTL TL-2.5, amps are Manley Retro 100 (KT90) & 75/75 Stereo VTL. | |
| Upgrade from Harbeth Compact 7 Room is 18X20X8hi. Tube pre & amps. | |
| Floorstanders for $3500 Rhljazz, is your statement about my list of speakers not being tube friendly based solely on their efficiency ratings (sensitivity in db)? If so, 90-100 watts/channel is more than many tube amps & I thought sufficient. | |
| Is $3000 pushing the limits for a geat monitor?? Just today I listened to some very expensive systems comprising Linn, McIntosh, Vienna Acoustics, Wilson Benesch.I came home and really enjoyed my Harbeth Compact 7s (the first version, I think around 1995). I go to the shows and dealers but when ... | |
| Floorstanders for $3500 Manley Retro 100 monoblocks. 100 watts/channel with KT90 power tubes. | |
| Floorstanders for $3500 Driven by Manley tube KT90 monoblocks. Room is 18 X 20 X8 ft ceiling. Priority is NATURAL TONALITY & TIMBRE. Live, unamplified acoustic instruments & voice are my standard. Jazz, classical, folk, world & rock, I enjoy it all. | |
| Compared tube preamps? Want remote & phonostage. I think Cary might make an all in one pre also, but is probably more than I want to spend. I will sale the Premier 14,PV10AL, & Mod 3A if I am confident a Rogue 66 (or 99) or VTL 2.5 (or 5.5) will sound as good. The 5.5 will probably be more t... | |
| CJ Premier 14 vs. VTL TL5.5 & TL2.5 I listened for years to a CJ Premier 14 & never experienced any problems. No noisy tubes or ringing. The tubes lasted until I got the itch to try something new. Nor do I have any complaints about CJ factory communications.Likewise, I had good ... | |
| Info on VTL Deluxe 75/75 Hi, I just bought a VTL Renaissance Stereo 70/70 & can't find good info also. The closest is the Manley 75/75 and the PDF manual is on Manley's website free to print. | |
| KEF 104.2 AMP, Pre Amp suggestions Hi, I listened many years to 104.2 bi-wires with a Conrad-Johnson PV10A & a PSE Studio IV amp with Kimber 4TC/8TC & Pioneer Elite PD65 CDP. It was a very good combo.Bill |
