| Thiels or Von Schweikerts I knida see it as an even call. Half like the T's half like the VS sound. ach side hates the others choice.Who's right , who's wrong? | |
| B&W, Dynaudio, Dali or what else? Yes Avoid B&W's. But also not sure if you should stay with the ARC stuff. From my experience its beena grainy, smokey sound. Heard 2 different ARC systems. | |
| Choice of tube amp? Jadis as 'slow and dull". Hey its only your opinion, why should I even respond. I can name 3 slwo , dull, grainy famous american labs. But I' won't.Love my JOR! | |
| Choice of tube amp? I follow Mrt, save the bucks and geta used Jadis. | |
| Tube Characterization: 6DJ8, 6922, 7308, CCa, etc Hey anacrusis, give up your quest for accurate infor on a specific model of tube characterists. I've tried and have had little luck. You raise a very good question that everyone wants to wiggle out of. I personally do not go cahsing after a "magic... | |
| 6550 tube vs KT88 Thanks Dave, i'm trying to understand these tubes. . I'm just want to get at the bottom of things here. As you know many opinions and posts on this site can be just as biased as some sound systems I've heard. Lets just cut to the quick. What are t... | |
| 6550 tube vs KT88 Tvad, what ia m saying is that if i roll the 90's in my JOR to the 88's, the speakers will voice differently, different response. this is all i'm saying. That each tube has different characterists. IMHO the 90 tube works best with seas drivers. Fo... | |
| 6550 tube vs KT88 I'm only reporting my experiments as a note to others who can use the info I provide. I'm saying that when I rooled the 90's to a quad of EH88's, all the timber/dynamics/sepaaration of bass/mids/highs had virtually disappeared when compared to the... | |
| Vandersteen 2Ce Signature Evolution Now its Signature-2-C-E-Evolution...next model they'll add the word "Super" at the end,...then next model they'll add "DUPER". I've heard Vandy's yrs ago, not bad, abit smokey/cloudy is how i felt the distortion. Better than Wilson's for sure and ... | |
| Contrast/compare 50W tube amps OTL + seas + disaster.Glad I could see a comment on the EL34's, "lacks top/bottom".seems i got very lucky with my Jadis OR and her KT90's. seems 90's give best extention in bottom and highs. I've heard several 88 amps, bland. | |
| Best upgrade path? I'd start with speakers first. My suggest: Dump the Totems for whatever you can get for em (I seea used pr goes for like $1500. Take that money, throw in a another $1K and get the Tyler's MTM design, Either floor stander or the lower priced book s... | |
| 6550 tube vs KT88 Thanks Tvad I'll order that issue. I think the issue here is that my Seas speakers area MTM design rated at 87db, so its just not a match for the KT88 I demoed nor the EH88's that I rolloed in my JOR. db rating must be 90+ to be effective. This is... | |
| Loudspeakers that go LOUD? "I'm ready fo the flames" Ok I've got the best why would I want Druids?Have the Seas, a driver in development for decades. I think the danes got it right. Vandersteen is still working on "improvements".I've heard Vandersteens, not bad, in fact may... | |
| Contrast/compare 50W tube amps I like Jaybo's recommend of Quicksilver, Did not see the model he mentioned, but the model used for sale, Silver 60 monos, at 40 lbs/per mono, has 4 EL34's per side. Really nice at $1680. Looks to pack a punch.I agree with Tpsonic about the ARC's,... | |
| Loudspeakers that go LOUD? I had demo-ed a 40 watt tube amp with my Seas, and couldn't push the dynamics of the speaker. The Seas needs really heavy duty power trans in tube amps with KT90's. Like my JOR. The DA30 would be super!Remember not all tube amps are built the same. |
