| Can I expect to pay full retail for a new system? Audio dealers are desparate to make a sale, any sale. Walk away by saying, "gee all I have right now is..." Leave the guy your phone #, you'll get a call in one week/less. "Oh I've gota deal for you on that amp you wanted"If the amp/speakers are s... | |

| Contrast/compare 50W tube amps Boa from reading your critques, it seems confusing, as you are prasing each, yet you say "its just not for me".I prefer to give all the negatives and any positives about an amp/speaker and let the reader make up his own mind. I wonder how you woul... | |
| 6550 tube vs KT88 I found zero bass with the 2 88 tubes I tested. Just a falt response, flat like the Kansas landscape.I can see how tubes get a bad reputation vs a big ss amp. | |
| 6550 tube vs KT88 Yes my limited experience of the 88's showed not much resolution for classical. Too smooth. Smooth being if you took the fq range as looking overa falt landscpe, you'd see few peaks and valleys. Bland IOW. The 90's in my Jadis present descent bass... | |
| Any ic/speaker cable suggestion Tyler Linbrook I use Home Depot monster copper wire. I think I paid $1.25/ft yrs ago, Now copper has doubled. Each "jumper"..that is speaker wire is cut in several places, I have one speaker with spliced with another brand of wire. IOW has monster wire half the ... | |
| Any ic/speaker cable suggestion Tyler Linbrook The topic was that somehow his Seas are not voicing mids/highs properly. Which is not the case in my spealers. i suggest that Rn look to his source, its not the speakers. According to Rn he changed speaker wires and 'wah-lah" he now has excellent ... | |
| Any ic/speaker cable suggestion Tyler Linbrook The "we" being the audiophiles. my meaning is blurred. I mean to say that IMHO Seas have developed the best of all possible designs with their Excel midwoofer, thw W18 as offering the best mids avaliable. For purity, clarity, dynamics, no other co... | |
| The best CD Player for the money I can easily see how the Consonance beats out most all you mention EXCEPT the Cayin model 17. It may /may not beat out the Cayin 15. But as you say the Cayin 17 retails for $1800/USA, $1K HK. I think the Consonance is less. Now is it tube? If its ... | |
| Any ic/speaker cable suggestion Tyler Linbrook Different opinions are the best thing for open and fair discussions. There were many opinions here and also from Absolute Sound saying how wonderfully awesome were the Spendor 8's. After I heard them, grant it on a aweful big expensive tube amp, w... | |
| Any ic/speaker cable suggestion Tyler Linbrook Good for you . as i didn't want us to have different, at least not too different opinions on how the seas' voices the mids and highs, sending mixed message. With your set up, the bass you get with your Signature2's with dual W22's per channe must ... | |
| Any ic/speaker cable suggestion Tyler Linbrook I do not have the Tyler but the Thos, which uses Seas. I've noticed the speakers voices clearly the amp in use. IOW whatever the amp speaks this is what you hear. Now I'm not sure how the Tyler's are configured, i plan to ordera pr later this yr, ... | |
| The Search Who are you refering to as designing froma molecular level? Who is this 3rd party? Somehow I'm missing something. I need a specific name. PM me if you want if that is an issue of being afriad of The Bashers. | |
| The Search "since many manufactures use Seas'..." like which others except Tyler? In europe there are several who use the Excel line. Shadome I like how you put it, "Bartokfans prized Thors". Indeed they are. Especially after dumping $2200 on a DIY design I ... | |
