| Does Crown k2 amp match the b&W Matrix 802? At $400 it is a good deal but overall the B&Ws will sound better as you mate them with a better high current SS power amp. Another entry level choice is Bryston or the Krell KAV-250, much more than $400 but you can upgrade later. the point bei... | |
| Talon Raven C Speakers There was a guy who was powering his Talon Khorus speakers with the Bruce Moore 70/70 (70 wpc tube amp) and felt it bettered some of the high powered SS amps he had tried. The Ravens being a 2 way design and rated at 90 db are easy to drive and th... | |
| Calling B&W speaker users with tube power amp The matrix series cross-overs like more juice to make the speakers come alive. The tube amps will drive the speakers but a high current (note the word current) SS amps drive the speakers much better. It also depends on how loud you like the music ... | |
| Shunyata versus Elrod I compared the SS power cord and the Kimber to the Elrod Sig 3 on my Pass Labs X-250 power amp. I preferred teh Elrod over them. TO my ears it was just more natural sounding with great details and definition. Did it blow the others away, well no, ... | |

| BAT VK60 experience? It will sound OK at low volumes but the old matrix 803 series like a high curret amp with more watts.Happy Listening. | |
| Speaker Recomendation Paul,you mention nothing about what type of sound you prefer or what type of music you prefer. That would be recommending a Nissan Z and you prefer a 4 door sedan for the family.There is no perfect component out there, they just have different sou... | |
| Review: Shanling SCD-T200 w/ EA Turbomod CD Player My friend had his modified by Chris Johnson and had about $4K of parts put into the unit. Same result with the SS and tube output. It was extremely good but I never thought that it better the really high buck CDPs that you mention. Overall is was ... | |

| Rowland 302 V. Krell 700CX The new Krells 450 and 750 monos break away from the typical Krell sound, in fact they are one of the most musical amps that I have heard versus JC-1s, Marsh, Bryston, Sim mono blocks. But they are $$$$$$.Audition a pair and see what I mean.Happy ... | |
| Quicksilver V4 amps You responded to my post a while back on tube amps and it looks like the Quicksilvers are the way to go from your post. I see you may have the Meadowlark nighthawks I heard them and really liked them. Any way are you using the Quick amps on them? ... | |

| Pass Labs X1 vs. X2.5 No Keithr is correct, the Pass gear is not "tube like" the X-250 offers a "golden glow" or softer sound in the mids to offer a more tube like sound as do many SS amps that are trying not to sound like SS. That does not mean the amp or preamp is no... |
