| The best passive preamp I am an owner of the Django and bent passive. They were superior to my Hovland HP100, until I got the Space tech lab 113. Better in every department bot least focus and bass. | |
| best 5-20K speakers for high-end tube amp? Avantgarde Duos have never sounded crappy in my experience no matter what set up you have. They are alive dynamic and electric. But they ultimately fail in delivering good quality bass or natural tonality that robs the music from a lot of its beauty. | |
| Are Horn Speakers good or bad or simply a complete joke? funny how nearly in every single set up i have heard horn speakers in the final result is still the same. I have heard the avantgardes with valve amps in hifi shows and in my own room. I am not denying you cannot get a smooth response at the top e... | |
| best 5-20K speakers for high-end tube amp? Do not buy the Avantgardes unless you are looking for high detail, transparency and speed in the upper octaves, with possible mild harshness also. The Mid range is very good but lacks the tonal warmth, soundstaging and solidity of imaging brought ... | |

| Django question Hi just built one. Previous preamplifier was a Hovland HP 100.The passive in my opinion is superior. Dynamically it is still superb for a passive and you are immediately hit when you first hear it of how immediately more correct the music sounds. ... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Boa 2 thank you for your concernI apologise for upsetting so many of you. I guess there may be a an age difference accounting for my lack of enthusiasm for such humour, though I could be wrong. Nonetheless it seems there is little to be gained fro... | |
