| Tube or solid state amp or amps? Jafox. Thank you for your post. I have very limited experience with tubes and I hope I will learn more about tubes so I can enjoy tube gears as much as SS. I love my Krell 400xi even though it is not a perfect amp and I am not wasting my time to l... | |
| For Martin Logan fans - Aeon i versus SL3? Two pairs of the speakers that I owned for a very long long period of time were the SL3 and the AeriusI. Love them to death but had to sell them while moving out alone few years ago. Wish I can find them in almost new condition so I can buy them a... | |
| High power integrated suggestions please. I wonder people hate Krell because their sound quality or because they are not inexpensive. | |
| Tube or solid state amp or amps? Jafox, Your points are well taken. Please tell me what makes you think tube amp is a beter match for the Energy Veritas 2.4 ? I am all ears. | |
| Martin Logan Ascenti's or the new Vista. Help Johnk, I appreciate your post. I used to own a pair of AeriusI and a pair of SL3. I loved the warm sounding of the AeriusI and the spatial open of the SL3. I have listenned to the newer versions of ML and you are right, ML is going towards HT dire... | |
| Krell KAV-400xi vs KAV-280p & 2250 Right on, Zieman. At 2500.00, the 400XI is a very good value. There are better ones but you have to pay a lot more. | |
| Tube or solid state amp or amps? Go to a rocks, pop or jazz concerts and open your ears , your mind then go home and crank up your tube gears and tell me if there is no color in your systems. Come on guys, the perfect sounding system is built not around your speakers or your amps... | |
| Tube or solid state amp or amps? I tried the mix-and match tubes and ss for a while back. Tube pre and SS amps..vice versa. Pretty interesting sounds. I also bought a pair of beautiful monoblocks and the tube pre ( Magnum series) but after a while I sold them all. Tubby sounds ca... | |
| How much does your system retail for? We should start a new thread namely, Who does not tell your spouse the real price of your new purchase gear(s)? I don't. Never have guts to add all up but hi-end audio salons in town recognize my face and love me for suporting their "making a livi... | |
| How to warm up cold-sounding Rotel/B&W system? If your system sounds "bright", please stay away from silver ICs. Silver ICs tends to be fast and very clean but bright. Some ICs that are on the warm side such as Harmonic Tech and AudioQuest. I owned some Rotel pre/amp before. They are not brigh... | |
| Intergrated Amp with VR4jrs I current own two 400xi for my two small rooms. I love the fast and tight sounds of the Krell for instruments and percussions. I love the sweet and soft midrange of the MF. I have gone tubes with Rogue monoblocks and its magnum pre but tubby sound... | |
| Totem Dealers in Orange County/Los Angeles Please allow me to piggy bank your thread. I am in Houston Texas. Would anyone know an authorized Totem dealer in Houston TX ? Thanks in advance. | |
| Krell 400 XI Anyone has any problems with the overheating issue of your 400XI. someone told me according to Stereophile reports, the 400XI had some overheat issue. None of mine does. A lot less heat then B&K or Adcom amp. | |
| Krell 400 XI Tks, Kpw. It is really warming up now. Especially. around 60/65 db, bass is quite good. My usual listenning level is around 40/55 db, that's why I cannot get much bass out of the 5" woofer of my bookshelf speakers. | |
| XLR or single ended cables and why? I hope the following issue will not lead to another subject: We agree on if using XLR connections with fully balanced circuit there is an increase in sound pressure level abt 6 db. If I use 4 ohm speakers, then according to spec, my amp will opera... |
