| Decent backup cartridge easy the Denon I think it is model DH-103 but you need to add the wood shell. It is one of the best kept secrets in audio, | |
| Class of operation for Tube Power Amps Look at the number of output tubes: If the amp has only one or two output tubes, it's more likely to be Class A. If it has four or more, it's likely Class AB. Interesting comment but we make tube mono block amps that have 4 output tubes and t... | |
| Speaker choice @bluorion has got that right. you can power them with the Line Magnetic stereo power amplifier at 28wpc. Best I have heard in the $5K price range especially new. Happy Listening | |
| Looking for input on an amplifier switch OK I say this every time, we are a manufacturer of tube components and we are a repair/upgrade facility. You actually do not know how a component will perform until you try something in your own system. In our listening room we have a pair of So... | |
| Old SS amps @bdp24 that old BEL amplifier is an excellent amp. It produces a slightly warm overall musical sound with pretty good details, high and low end extension. We compared it to a few modern day amps and it was the winner for producing overall musica... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT The HP filters are easy-peasy to set-up. Any dealer can assist you or Vandersteen directly. We used our preamp and amplifier on them and placed them almost up against the wall for WAF. The sound amazing when matched with the correct components.... | |

| Seeking horn array loudspeakers with a maximum price of $17,500.00 per pair. for your price range you should be looking at Field Coil speakers. They out preform the horn speakers mentioned about with ease. Easy to drive so you could use a simple line magnetic 28wpc integrated amplifier. | |
| Battle of the affordables My two recommendations: Revival Audio ATALANTE 5 the New PMC speakers The Revival 5s blew me away for $5K If I was in the market I would get these over anything mentioned already. Very impressed with them and we are in the business of making ... | |
| Need help matching speakers with amplifer You don't know until you hear an amp in your system. For example last week we hooked up a VAC Ren 30/30 class A amp 300B stereo tube amp to Sonus Faber stratovari speakers and it drove them no problem. Some of the best sound we hear on those sp... | |
| Finally heard Accuphase All things considered you cannot just something in one system along. What works in one system may not sound as good (or better) in another system. We hear this many times as we repair components. Sometimes were a fooled by how something sounds ... | |
