| Might I Hear Your Soundlab ESLs? Of all the dumb luck. Our live-in aide who tends to my Dad just left today to visit her Mom in Maryland. I probably could have caught a ride. But it’s still a big trip for me by car. Thanks for the offer. | |
| Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57? They thing they don't tell you is what happens when driving higher impedances, like you see in the Quad ESL 57. Thanks Dover for pointing this out. I will have the 57s up on stands and adjusted accordingly-and at least close to this height, ... | |
| Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57? Yes, the Quad 57’s impedance curve clearly plays havoc with a lot of amplifiers, but I don’t understand the reasoning behind some of explanations for this. And at least one very basic factor about the amplifier/speaker interface is missing from t... | |
| Anybody else using a distributed array sub system? Hello all and thanks for this great discussion on DSAs. Not only is it an effective approach to getting problem free and natural sounding low bass reproduction in small and/or less than ideal listening rooms, but it does so without DSP. Even at l... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps My listening levels are around 75 to 95db. Hi Snopro, Charles1Dad said to consult you on the FW J2 amp vs. a 300B power amp or mono blocks (in my price range) to drive >95db speakers at low to moderate levels. There’s a great discussion on P... | |
| Pass Labs amps and Avantgarde speakers Thanks Charles1dad, for this great lead. | |
| Pass Labs amps and Avantgarde speakers Fascinating and highly informative discussion-especially for those contemplating solid-state amps with high efficiency speakers. As impressed as I am with the performance and value of the Pass XA30.5 and the hands down raves that the XA30.8 has re... | |
| Comparing the Pass Labs XA30.5 to the XA 30.8 I use to own the XA30.5 and thought it was great! Thank you for contributing your thoughts and experiences with the XA30.5. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/comparing-the-pass-labs-xa30-5-to-the-xa-30-8 I really envy you your time ... | |
| Considering a First Watt F-4 The often unmentioned thing about this amp is the size of the soundstage. Surprising for a ss amp. Could you be more specific, Writer2? Is the F4's soundstage truly large in all three dimensions? And does it actually extend beyond the width of th... | |
| Long Island, NY - Audio Syndrome Do any LI or NYC members use any First Watt amps in their systems? | |
| Supratek Preamp. and 6SN7's impressions At moderate listening levels, would the F4 be capable of driving these OBs down to 30Hz? | |
| Supratek Preamp. and 6SN7's impressions Just wondering if you’re still liking the Supratek Chardonnay /F4 combo, or have you switched to other preamps and/or power amps to drive the Capos or other speakers. Regarding its macrodynamics and bass performance, how might the F4 handle a pai... | |
| speakers for first watt j2 If you are a DIYer OR if you hire someone like http://www.taylorspeakers.com/ or http://salksound.com/about%20the%20custom%20alaternative.htmyou can clone Gary Dahl's hybrid horn speakers. The J2 should have no trouble driving the Azurahorn 425/Ra... | |
| Luxman M-600A Would there be any XA30.5 owners on Long Island? Might I stop by to hear it? |
