| 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 ... | |
| Last night the Music took over…. Every day we have those nights! As a repair facility we get so many components in to hear. We enjoy plugging them all in and hearing what impact they have on the music. We also build our own components so we really get to hear what you heard bu... | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile As already mentioned hearing the Magnepan Tympani speakers producing solo violin was the start for me. I was using Ohm Walsh speakers with SAE and Phase Linear electronics. I wish I still had room for that system. The Lafayette KT-550 tube powe... | |

| Advice on a good Digital Coax Cable to run between my Transport and DAC? The best digital cable was the Jorma period. Way too many tried and could not compete. We are a manufacturer and repair shop and can get any cable we want. We have tried all of the above mentioned cables, some were very good but not like the Jo... | |
| My Favorite Tweaks, What is yours? Don't use any. While I found that some make a slight difference, some improvements some not so, I can make a much bigger impact by using better parts in the components where I can get much bigger sound improvements in openness, air, dynamics, bas... | |

| What is the most overlooked consideration? @devinplombier to bad you are not in the NYC area where we could show you so then you would know how to select a component then you can narrow down your decision-making. To many people are just going from one manufacturer to another without knowi... | |
| What is the most overlooked consideration? The simple answer is: Understanding how a component produces music which comes down to the build and the parts used like the transformer, power supply design and capacitors used, etc. Without knowing this, you are just buying one brand or anothe... | |
| Integrated that blew you away The absolute best sounding one was the Line Magnetic. We make our own tube products (not integrated units though) and they make a hell of one for the price. Very impressive in our opinion. Build quality is excellent. | |
| Buyer Beware Buyer beware from who the sellers? As a manufacturer of audio components, we try and test our components in multiple systems most of the time for noise as our products are tube designs. It is impossible to manufacture a product and know how it w... | |
| Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best? Speakers are a very good starting point but the equipment also matters a great deal. If you are looking for detail in your sound, you need to have components that are quiet. That usually starts with the power supply design, etc. Old style tube ... |
