| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers Uh, George, please read the thread through (beginning with the title of the thread) rather than just jumping in in the end.First, this thread is about what tube amps can be used and is not about solid state.As explained earlier:Martin-Logans have ... | |
| Mark Levinson No.26 Balanced Input Question What happens when you connect the CD player to the balanced AUX2 inputs?If nothing, its most likely that the CD player is having a problem. If it plays then the preamp is the issue. | |
| Amp frequency requirements for super tweeters? ^^Yup! | |
| Altec A7 What to do I had bi-amps Altecs for a long time too. I ran transistors on the bass and an Ampex tube amp on top. When I went to tubes on the bass it got better; when I got rid of the electronic crossover and ran the tube amps full-range it got even better (a... | |
| What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock? Czarivey, what if the band is playing with distorted guitars but undsitorted bass?? Many bass players have very powerful amps so as to avoid distortion. In addition, since we are talking about rock, one must not forget that synthesizers can make p... | |
| Quad ESL-63 and low-powered amps; Sun Audio, Atma Montaldo, you might want to look at this post:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1420484322&openflup&51&4#51and this link:http://www.atma-sphere.com/Resources/Paradigms_in_Amplifier_Design.phpUnless you have a very small... | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers As I have pointed out many times in the past, the impedance curve of an ESL is not the same as an efficiency curve. With many box speakers the two are the same- higher impedances usually representing resonance, usually a driver in a box. (If one w... | |
| Amp frequency requirements for super tweeters? The question is really more about the amp than the speakers.The answer is 'yes' its useful to have bandwidth well beyond the traditional 20KHz. This is not because there is any significant information up there, its because wherever the amp has a r... | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? You named some stuff in my personal collection, and I have Classic Audio Loudspeakers in my living room. They can shake the walls! What's nice about them is that you can play sustained high levels without compression and without straining the amp.... | |
| What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock? Keithr, yes, some speakers don't rock. That's too bad for them- I would expect they would have troubles with other forms of music too. | |
| Altec A7 What to do In case there is any question, the speakers were designed when tubes were king. They tend to sound a bit shrill with solid state. | |
| What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Atmasphere is referring to system synergy; you can get the sound you seek by well matched components in your system. Actually, I'm not talking about synergy although that can play a role. I am simply stating th... | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers Broadstone, If that same CD track is what irritates you on other systems, one strong possibility is the recording itself, unless you used the same CD player in those systems as well.How about this- are there any recordings that sound fine on your ... | |
| What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock? As it is for metal, so it is for hard rock which is to say that the speaker does not care what you play. If it is good for rock it should be good for classical and vice versa.If you do not find this to be the case its simply because its not that g... | |
| classe, bryston fully balanced? A 'fully-balanced' circuit has a common-mode rejection ratio of pricisely zero, since all signal, common-mode or not, is simply amplified and passed along via the two signal paths. It then remains up to the following component to attempt to rejec... |
