| Quad Listener Contemplating Horns Lacee: I just had a thought which may make this whole exercise a waste of my time, your time, and that of Essentialaudio.When you stated: "This will make your amp see the same load as 1 pair of Quads(sic)57.", did you mean a stereo pair (one speak... | |
| Quad Listener Contemplating Horns Lacee:(Please refer, also, to my reply to Essentialaudio.)Do you actually think you can connect two, or "5", speakers in series and still end up with the impedance of the original single speaker? Regardless of the number of descriptions of your co... | |
| Quad Listener Contemplating Horns Essentialaudio:You, of course, are correct. I overlooked the fact that the discussion was with regard to the use of Quad electrostatics.My apologies.Lacee:My original point was, nevertheless, that the series connection you proposed, for two speake... | |
| Wich high end CD palyer? ccereda:I have two digital sources that I enjoy very much: Burmester 001CEC TL1X transport/Chord DAC64I should really sell one or the other, but can't decide which! I was never truly happy with digital until I found these two.Jim | |
| Quad Listener Contemplating Horns Lacee's proposed wiring scheme will actually result in TWICE the original (single) speaker impedance at the amp's terminals. His description is simply a classic series connection of the two speakers, in which the impedances are additive.OTOH, a pa... | |
| best wife friendly monitor? Shure E3c earphones should do the trick very nicely! | |

| Fluctuating volume in one channel: Part II Ketchup--I don't know what sort of packaging Classe uses, but if it's up to the quality of Bryston's---and I'd be surprised if it isn't---you've got nothing to worry about.Bryston uses a double box, of course, surrounding a two- piece construction... | |
| Whats the krell sound? With reference to "morbius's" response:I was using the integrated KAV300i with Maggie 3.5R's and I could never arrive at a satisfactory treble level, even after adding attenuating resistors to the high freq. connections in lieu of the standard jum... | |
| Fluctuating volume in one channel: Part II I posted a similar cry for help several weeks ago, concerning one of my Bryston 7B-ST's, but never followed up with Bryston's fix: they found, and replaced in a very quick turnaround, a faulty switch (the one which selects series or parallel opera... | |
| Whats the krell sound? Ellery--Perhaps you've hit on the problem I had: my Krell was the, I believe, KAV300i(?). It's been a few years, so I'm not sure of the proper number, but it was an integrated.I suppose this doesn't qualify as a "real" Krell. So be it. It was, how... | |
| Whats the krell sound? I'll be the last to suggest that associated equipment and listening room acoustics don't play a major role in one'sevaluation of a particular component. It's foolish to think otherwise!The fact remains, however, that this obsessive hobby is purely... | |
| Whats the krell sound? Bright.Very bright.Did I mention bright? | |
| Best Speaker matches for Parasound Halo JC-1's ? On a good day, you should be able to find, used, either Maggie 20.1s or SoundLab A-3s, maybe even A-1s, within your price range. Seems there was a pair of the 20.1s on Audiogon recently for that money. My A-3s were in that ballpark a few years ago... |
