| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? Question. Ear to speaker driver, or some distance away, at what volume level determines noisy problem? Half way ? For example at 50 (halfway on my knob), barely audible with ear to drivers but at 60 start to hear hiss more prominently. | |
| Floor standing or Large bookshelf recommendations - 2.0 channel setup Sorry did you state a budget? Apologize if I missed. | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @dhite71Does a faint white noise degrade the sound somehow particularly if its barely audible without putting your ear to the driver? | |
| Spacial Audio Lab X3 and Pure Audio Project Quintet 15 I think there’s a return policy on the Spatials. I was interested too but have never liked built in subs for whatever reason, so I hope one day to try the M3. | |
| Looking for more detail in a speaker The comments on the Triton are spot and make sense. The venerable designer Sandy Gross founded Def Tech and it was the same there - emphasis on deep bass in tower speakers at the expense of the rest of the curve - high volume, dig low, hit hard wa... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @larry5729 Personally I prefer solid state powering my dedicated home theater. And for music much prefer the tonality and nuances to an all tube analog front end. | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? @dodgealum I’ve only heard great things-- cabinet workmanship supposed to be the very best, and similar to Harbeth, the box is used to maximize the sound the builder is after. I feel like these boutique speaker builders should make demo pairs and ... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @yogiboy Thanks. But like at Tube depot, they have an incremental charge of $4 for "Low Noise & Microphonics" which based on your description would seem to be binary or incompatible....? Is this a good option to choose ? And next, when we use ... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? Any opinions on Tube Depot? And can I please get educated on what add on options on tubes mean like balanced triodehigh gainlow noise and microphonic? | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? Does a speaker exist that has the warmth, the musicality and very critically the tonality of Harbeth with no boxy sound and no boomy bass? If so, sign me up. I will demo it asap. | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? @layton64Spot on ! That intangible their users talk about is their tonality. It has to be experienced in the right setup to understand. | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? @decathlon1991 was top of the line Audio Research rack and the other was Dan D'agostino momentum line. Is that matching equipment? | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? @snackeyp @yogiboy Definitely possible tp sound boxy if not set up right. And definitely the 40x’s are not image monsters, but set up right and you will be rewarded with the most musical speaker with the most beautiful tonality that I’ve ever heard. | |
| A move from Harbeth to... Wilson? Geoff won’t like this but i had two 60-90 minute demos with the Sasha Daw in Manhattan this past July and found the $37k speakers too dry and clinical to my ears. Although on the plus side great soundstage, imaging and super clean as I could hear ... | |
| How do I pay? Sometimes the seller will have a validated profile on eBay or audiogon so ask him that. Otherwise escrow.com |
