| Choosing new speakers after 20 years @jmphotography no need for the sarcasm. Simply giving my opinion. Have used 100, 125, 150 W receivers, and integrated amps since the mid 80’s. Found that having enough power and headroom was a huge plus for the sound and enjoyment of the music.... | |

| Choosing new speakers after 20 years As stated here: you will need a good SS amp with a min of 300W rms. With your speaker choices, you need adequate power to get the best sound.tou don’t want to u derpower such wicked speakers as your choices. Many will tell you a 100 or 125W int... | |
| Sonics of Streaming Tried streaming at my cousins house with my music. Many songs Sounded flat to me. LP & CD, is the way to go.it just sounds way better, bass tighter, guitar is much more realistic sounding, highs are not so subdued. My main speakers are Ene... | |
| Driver breakin period, what’s the science? Agree totally! Mine took a good 200+ hours, the bass was a bit deeper, and hit faster, with a faster recovery time for the next kick drum.midrange was the biggest sound improvement, guitar, etc was much better after a few hundred hours. | |
| Need a power amp for a pair of ATC SCM 11's As far as class D , the QSC & CROWN amps do a very good job, and do not sound dull or lifeless as most class D does. Most are fairly inexpensive, but they have a fan, this may not be your choice.QSC - PLX 1802 is a fine amp. Plenty of power wi... | |
| Need a power amp for a pair of ATC SCM 11's You will need some juice to get those to sound their best. A good A/B amp with a min of 200 WPC would be best. Stay away from class D with bookehelf speakers, or you can try it out, and go through the return process.happy hunting | |

| Musical Concepts modification of B&K pre and amp? I have a B&K pro 10-mc. The newer series. Of the sonata without the blue lines on faceplate..... must have bought new in early mid 90’s. Still use her. Only issue with that pro 10-mc is the sealed volume pot, it gets static a lot, as it’s sea... | |
| Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated While I love these Carver tube monoblocs, I would not spend the money for a measley 75 watts. Sell stuff, o save a bit more for the crimson 350s’ You will need the headroom nod you will be much happier. Just ask @ozzy. Wish I had the scratch fo... | |
| Separates or not? Any descent preamp will do fine. Don’t blow too much $. Parasound p3 or P5 used is all you need,a great preamp! | |

| Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ? If you only listen to acoustic folk, vocal, unplugged, at moderate volumes. Some of those single driver speakers do sound amazing. Depends on your music. If you like electric guitar stuff with bass guitar, and other stuff like that, I would say go... |
