| W4S or Bryston Bryston would be my choice When comparing I found the whole Bryston system has more definition to the music. The Bryston is using more expensive discreet transistors. you get what you pay for. | |

| Looking for suggestions for a new (to me) pair of high efficiency monitors ((( I use a 2x100 watt rms at 8 Ohm Quad 405-2 into my P3ESRs (i.e. some 130 watt into their 6 Ohm), in an 18 sq m room, and that is fine. It will not bring down the walls, but no small speaker ever will.))) That's a fine match with Quad SS agree ... | |

This will assist you with the ability to grasp the music's nuance to more dynamic levels in a new appreciated way.With regard to the siz... | |

| Physics of downward firing woofers The main advantage of a downward firing sub is to avoid forward driver modulation that would compete for your attention by adding confusion to the highly perceptive mid and hi frequencies.try reversing your subs and experiment with 180 switches an... | |
| Biasing signal tubes on a tube power amp/Quicksilver M120 (((You may want to double check as I do believe i read in another thread that the Quicksilver amps do need the small signal tubes )) Balance adjustment for the small tubes should be done by a tech using DC voltmeter. Best JohnnyR | |
| Thought on Ayre K-5xeMP with PSAudio BHK 250 GreetingsYour high expectations of any amp change is circling the drainwith regard to the positioning of your left speaker and Hallway, bass suck out or lack of the left channels power response.One solution that would make sense is asymmetrical pl... |
