| Entry Level Tube Integrated Amps Perhaps a bit pricey but I like the Rogers stuff made in the U.S. | |
| Magico - Wide vs. Narrow Well I just looked at the M Series on their site and these are certainly not traditional wide baffle speakers. To my eyes it looks like a superb cabinet design that is not wife baffle. | |
| The Legendary ? Infinity IRS V Very good for the time, but would not stand up to the state of the art at present. The speaker is defined, both pro and con, by the drivers. Very definitively so to my ears. | |
| And a Ho! Ho! Ho! To All! Merry Christmas! | |
| Vintage JBL Floor Standing Speakers I just bought, redid and sold both a pair of Jubal L65s and L100s. It definitely improves the speaker to put in some better hardware and to update the crossovers but I really hated the sound of both these speakers. What they did do well, especiall... | |
| Seeking speakers under $3K for 10x12 ft room and driven by 20wpc tube amp I think the impedance is more significant than the efficiency. If you plan to continue using a tube amp. | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? I owned a VAC Phi 100 I believe and was very happy. I thought the sensitivity was too high. An excellent amp but seemed to share a similar sound with other push-pull designs using the same power tubes I have heard or owned. Never had an issue. Kev... | |
| Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… An instrument creates sound. A speaker reproduces sound. Pretty simple really. The Stereophile excerpt is copy. Do you think Fremer or Atkinson would give a Harbeth the same review as Dudley? What about the glowing reviews of a "dead" speakers l... | |
| DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3? Just voicing my opinion. Believe it or not, the post you first commented on was listed to help, but evidently it served as a trigger. Take some time and find your safe place. | |
| Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… Simple fact that the energy dissipates by vibrating the cabinet which creates coloration through resonance. Now if you like this type of sound then more power to you, but I believe that speaker cabinets should be inert with only the sound of the d... | |
| Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… At last someone mentions the cabinets. In my opinion, the thin walled, "lossy" cabinets used on the Harbeths is a major detriment. I think this applies to all speakers with this type of construction. The designer offers an explanation as to why th... | |
| DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3? Only you and a few others have pointed out my posts as interpersonally challenged. And, surprise, these were all DeVore owners. Put criticism of the components you own in the proper perspective. Your speakers are not your children, hell they arent... | |
| DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3? So what tone and attitude would you suggest? Dont tell me you appreciate the information and then voice your displeasure at the delivery. So tired of this passive-aggressive nonsense. Simply admit that you dont appreciate my opinion because it run... | |
| DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3? We spent a great deal of time listening to the O/96s with single and parallel 300B SET amps and these did not have nearly enough power. The speakers opened up with about 30 watts plus and decided that the best sound came from a pair of 60W OTL mon... | |
| DeVore O/93 or PureAudioProject Duet15 for a First Watt SIT-3? I reread your original post and I think you are proceeding on an erroneous assumption. First I hate it when people say that one speaker is better with a certain genre of music than another. This makes absolutely no sense. Other than output levels,... |
