| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) @immathewj I have learned your issue the hard way having bought a power amp with 26db gain for my Cary SLP-05 (Pass Labs XA30.8). Even when the Cary's gain is backed off to half (going any lower affects dynamics) there is too much gain in the sy... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 or Class D (GaN FET) I had a set of Benchmark run in mono configuration. I simply could not get them to sound great in my system and had to sell them. They had a predominant midrange forward character where the midrange was so much louder than other frequencies. ... | |
| Experience with Luxman L-550 AXII go for it. the ultra smooth sound of the class A Luxman is a perfect combo with your Cornwalls. Class A amps like Pass Labs are a top performer with the Klipsch heritage series and a desirable combination., so is the class A Luxman | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? It is possible for low end manufacturers to overprice their goods. People say audiophile gear prices are crazy and they might be right. However, show me a (component) for cheaper that sounds as good in all categories, Unfortunately many tim... | |
| Which Hegel Amp with LRS+ @dcpillai have not heard the LRS+ and Hegel. I am not a fan of the sound of Hegel amplifiers- haven't heard a good one yet. | |
| Harbeth 30.2 or Falcon Gold Badge The 30.2 XD are a step up in dynamics and scale from an LS3/5a speaker and are world class. The only caveat is that they might be a bit too smooth sounding with an overly smooth amplifier like a Luman. I demoed them with the new Luxman L 507z ... | |
| Which Hegel Amp with LRS+ I would seriously consider the Rogue Audio Pharaoh 2. 400 WPC at 4-ohms and a tube front end. I heard a similar Rogue Audio setup with the LRS+ and the sound was full, smooth and amazing. | |
| my shortlist for integrated Harbethsuper hl5 plus xd - please advise I had the SHL5+ paired with a Parasound a21+ and they sounded excellent together, the smooth, punchy Parasound sound is a perfect match for the Harbeth. The Parasound house sound is represented in their integrated amp, the HINT 6. At 240 watts ... | |
| Why Are There So Many Used Rogue ST-100's Being Offered For Sale? People are dumping them because KT 120s are impossible to get for the foreseeable future. This is no indication of the amp’s sound quality which is really nice in all areas. | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? High passing the main speakers is something I would never consider. Your ATCs make excellent bass, why would you want to take that away from them? You can integrate subwoofers seamlessly without doing so. | |
| Question about wpc on tube amps watts are watts but tube amps dont really create an ear screetching nightmare when they are over driven, they just run out of steam, especially in the bass. for maggies there is not a tube amp in your budget that i would recommend. | |

| I need impedance help. Rogue RH-5 to Solid State Amp. @nickrobotron In that range check out the BelCanto e.One REF501S. Balanced connections, 95Kohm impedance but more importantly an ultra smooth midrange and treble that will go together with the RH-5. The RH-5 is dead on neutral and sounds bes... | |
| I need impedance help. Rogue RH-5 to Solid State Amp. I had this preamp and it is super clear and has amazing drive and dynamics. Specs schmecs. my amp at the time had 23k input impedance and sounded fantastic. what amps are you considering? | |
| which should I get Rogue RP5, Hegel P20, Belles Aria Preamp, Audible Illusion Modulus 3B The Rogue tubes are harsh out of the gate but really smooth out nicely to a super refined sound. Would have been my recommendation. |
