| The Harbeth phenomenon While some products are greater than the sum of their parts, Harbeth to me sounds exactly like the sum of its parts. When you look at a Harbeth, you should instantly know much of how their speakers will sound. Intrinsic problems will be the cabine... | |
| MBL 101 (~1990) - amp suggestions. MBL makes amps that are on the warm side and I would think would be a very good match for these speakers. These can be had used at reasonable prices. You need lots of power! | |
| Klipsch Heresy II Special Ed VS. Vandersteen 2c Yes of course. | |
| Klipsch Heresy II Special Ed VS. Vandersteen 2c Well if you like the Vardersteens you may not like the Heresy. I couldnt live with this or any other Klipsch speaker without major changes and even then I find them wanting in every category but dynamics. The Vandersteen is a wonderful speaker for... | |
| Recommendatios? There are a number of good sources for acoustic information. "The Master Handbook of Acoustics" is a great book, but much of the information isnt applicable to the 2 channel room. I have found GIK Acoustics to offer good advice and they have some ... | |
| Recommendatios? Isnt the Dsi200 a class D (switching) integrated amp? The only time I could stand to listen to the older Wilson was with tubes. If you have one of the older Wilson tweeters I wish you luck with the high end. My initial thought is to spend more tim... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Before buying speakers you need to really think about what single aspect is most important to you and limit your search. Before doing anything you should do at least some rudimentary treatments to your room and also be aware of what room modes are... | |
| Zu Druid 6 As others have said all speakers have problems, I just pointed out that the older Zus have a number of significant problems that the newer Zus, have in part, addressed. The biggest example were the cabinets and how they were far too lossy. These c... | |
| Zu Druid 6 I heard the Wavac amps that used some of these transmitter tubes but cant remember how they sounded. Perhaps I was in shock over the price. | |
| Zu Druid 6 Ralph,Of course you have never had a complaint until now and among the sane no explanation is required. | |
| Zu Druid 6 Which NATs do you own? I couldnt agree more with the power thing and firmly believe that part of the problem with all SETs that I have heard is the lower power of these designs and distortion they produce at higher output. | |
| Zu Druid 6 Thanks to Marc for mentioning NAT amps. Higher powered SE amps could be of interest although some of the higher powered transmitting tube characteristics may be of concern. | |
| Zu Druid 6 PhilWe used 300B amps by Audio Note and Mastersound. A 32B integrated amp by Mastersound (branded Vaic) which really came alive when we bypassed the internal preamp with a CAT. The PP amp was a VAC phi 200. All comparisons were done with the CAT u... | |
| Zu Druid 6 phil,When we compared SETs to the M-60s it wasnt even close. Not a single aspect of the presentation of the SETs or Push Pulls for that matter were even close. The P.P.s from the outset were vague and the SETs homogenized everything at even modera... | |
| Zu Druid 6 @atmasphere Perhaps but I am not, to date, a fan. If Phil likes SETs on the Zus he really should hear your M-60s powering these speakers. |
