| Amplifier for Martin Logan Requests I sell Sound Labs, which are less efficient and a more difficult load than the ReQuests. The Wolcott Audio Presence amps are superb with the Sound Labs, especially the latest version with the ultra wide bandwidth output transformer. I would bet th... | |
| electrostatic with detail? Emster - You might consider Sound Lab full range electrostats. They use the thinnest diaphrabm in the industry - 1/20th as thick as the Martins, and so they have superb nuance and articulation. See Jonathan Valin's review in the February/March 200... | |
| Tranport and wire for Bel Canto DAC1 I use the Pioneer 525 DVD player with a DAC1. The data is first downloaded into 16 megabytes of RAM before being output, which effectively reclocks it. This is why BEl Canto recommends a DVD player. I tried the Toslink and coax, and the Toslink wa... | |
| Best amplifier for original QUAD ESLs? Well since I own Original Quads and I'm a dealer for Sound Lab electrostats, I've had a chance to try a fair number of amplifiers with the Originals. The only solid state amp I've really liked with them is the Chord from England. Quite musical. Th... | |
| Sound-stage, imaging, focus...... This might be a bit tangential, so apologies in advance. Music can be an emotional or energetic experience at the level of the bare, naked soul. It is actually a sort of gentle transformational experience, not unlike deep meditation. This can happ... | |
| Best system for opera lover at $30,000 I was raised by opera lovers, which means as a child I was an opera hater. Then when I became involved in high-end audio I finally got to hear opera well reproduced, and found myself almost overwhelmed by the emotion conveyed. Now I can keep my pa... | |
| The Best Audio Dealer I nominate Bob Ungemach of AMR in Elm Grove, Wisconsin. I've never see a dealer go the extra mile(s) so much for his customers. | |
| Forgive me. Sometimes component compatibilty is an issue. For instance, some preamplifiers do not like to see a low (20K ohm or less) input impedance in the amplifier they try to drive. A poor match can result in poor sound, and incorrectly be ascribed to the... | |
| will m-l cls' electrostatics ROCK??? Sedond, I may be able to help you. InnerSound makes a very powerful electrostatic-optimized amp that will seriously drive the CLS's, and Inner Sound speakers are among several viable options. I will honestly discuss tradeoffs with you - I have exp... | |
| Best Electrostatic loudspeaker? To Carl_eber: Could you e-mail me which amplifiers you heard the Sound Labs with in your 2-23-00 post? I am a new Sound Lab dealer and am trying to learn which amplifiers work well with Sound Labs and which ones do not, and obviously you heard an ... | |
| tube amps and electrostatics Just checked with two experienced sources. Your amp will work fine with Original Quads - use the 4-ohm tap. | |
| tube amps and electrostatics Dabble, I believe your amplifier would work well with most hybrids, but not necessarily with full range electrostatics. The reason is that full range electrostatics usually have a very high impedance in the bass, often over 50 ohms, and your amp w... |
