| Preamp for Jadis Orchestra Ref No I did not try to disconnect the pre. Whats the point. If you want more, then get the DA30 or even the DA60. My plans are to get a used DA60 for around $3K. I could go Cayin 6550 monon + Ding Ma pre, but I think it will be less than what the DA6... | |
| Preamp for Jadis Orchestra Ref I have the Orch Reference also, and thought the same as you, to possibly disconnect the pre stage and add a better preamp, line in. But as the above poster correctly advises, no.The Jadis dealer in Colorado , Frank, sent me a pr of Cabasse MTM's, ... | |

| Marantz 2325's interaction with 4 speakers/load? Thats great news. As i say, back in 1975, all I could afford was the Marantz 2015, since I was only making $250 an hour clearing window air conditioners down here in New orleans during the summer. I totally forgot the Marantz amps, as I was search... | |
| Marantz 2325's interaction with 4 speakers/load? Rich, that the 22XX series could handle 2 sets 4 ohms speakers may be true in its first years of life, but as Jea48 mentions, the "old faithful" is going on 30+, so I don't want to press my luck. I'll use the 2325 for the Thors only, buy a second ... | |
| Marantz 2325's interaction with 4 speakers/load? How could I forget/overlook the fact that the Thors are a 4 ohm speaker, requiring plenty of high quality juice to make them come alive with dynamics. So the 2325 is 125 into 8 ohms. Will the 30 yr amp be ok driving these 4 ohms at low volume, whi... | |
| Need help with speaker selection Take a look at the Seas Thors, its a kit from Madisound, you will need to know how to solder. Also Tyler has the same drivers in their MTM(can't recall model name), not sure if their xover is the same. | |
| Seeking $15,000.00 speaker to replace Quad 988's Yes the things are gigantic. However I talked to a tech from Tyler on the phone the other day (asking about the W26), they seem to have the attitude to work with the customer. IOW, they could take some of the speaker height off. I don't see the ne... | |
| Seeking $15,000.00 speaker to replace Quad 988's Here's what you should do. Go over to Tyler Acoustic's web page, ck out the big towers with the dual Seas' W26, a 10 inch woofer. That'll blow those Quads out the water on mids, highs, bass. And everything else. I just got my MTM Seas' read my rev... | |
| Vandy 2 or 3 Sig. Vs. Thiel CS2.2 or CS3.6 or ?? Exert has a very good ear. I recall the Vandy's sounded warm, but muddy as he says. Over-rated. And also agree to "AT LEAST chose the Thiels". Though I found my gem, in my new Thors. About to add a 10 inch Seas woofer. I'll keep everyone posted as... | |
| Intergrating a powered sub..Question Yes but the advisor says that the preout on the Jadis(forget the Rotel) is not controled by the vol on the Jadis, thus you cannot get the proper vol to the W26. But to think of it, most/all subamps have a vol control. So I think the "advisor" is w... | |
| Intergrating a powered sub..Question Just found out i need a pre/amp separate to intergrate a sub properly. So thats that...But then why does a sub amp have a vol control...what a minute, I think that other advice may be wrong. Anyone? | |
