| Tube Preamps with Bass? Thanks everyone I was comparing the tube preamps to the Pass X-1 and on the same songs the Pass has better bass as I describe above. I would like to find one of these preamps that can come as close and retian the tube mid magic. I have Talon Raven... | |
| Tube Preamps with Bass? S23chang, no I am looking for a great tube peramp sound where the tube preamp has some bass. I have just received a well know tube preamp but compared to my Pass X-1 lacks the same bass weight, slam and bass dynamics. I guess I want it all.Happy L... | |
| Pre-Power Best Synergy The synergy should be with the amp and the speakers first. The amp should just pass along the systems front end sound. There are various synergies and all to me do one thing or another but not all. A tube preamp (at least the ones I am listening t... | |
| Speakers: What's MOST important to you?... Besides what has already been said about, first/second is will they mate with my power amp and then work in my room, cannot have huge speakers in a small space. Then I look for a full range speaker that has most of the above. BTW if you find the p... | |
| Power Amp suggestions in $2000 range ? During my search for a SS amp the CJ 2500, McComack DNA-225, Sim Audio W-5, Krell KAV-2250 and the Levinson 334, the Levinson was the nicer sounding amp to my ears at that time. I also agree with looking at the Rowland, Blue Circle, etc as above. ... | |
| Speaker Upgrade? I would wait until you had some more cash and really do a upgrade at that time, for now sit back and enjoy. New models will be out after CES and there will probably be some good used speakers on Agon for sale.Happy Listening. | |
| Best Amp+pre-amp for 16-18K The new Krell Mcx 450 mono blocks that I heard are surprisingly very good. A friend of mine has been doing a comparison with some of the top amps and the new Krells have broken away from the Krell house sound. Try them out before you dismiss them.... | |
| Best 5K used or new for Musical A308cr System Find a used pair of Talon Raven-C spekaers. They will really rock, play soft or loud, have bass, are very clear, and also get the bybee filter upgrade and end your search. The Virgos do not do rock and roll with bass but do other things very well.... | |
| Krell or Levinson amos? The new Krell Mcx models are suprisingly really good. The Krell house sound in really gone with the new design.Happy Listening. | |
| What to upgrade next? Yes the room treatments and set up are also key, sorry I left that out (stupid me)but in the end the speakers will limit the system sound to whatever they are capable of. The system sould change significantly with Vandy 5As versus all the treatmen... | |

| What to upgrade next? The biggest improvement in your system will come from upgrading your speakers. The cables may add some sound changes but better speakers will open up a new world of sound. Not that I think yours are bad, but look up the line and you will get bette... | |
| Will Audio Logic DAC improve EMC-1? Yes 2400 but there was not a 25% improvement just slightly different flavor of sound the Chord being slightly more dynamic and clearer with better separation of instruments than the AL. The Electro DAC is a great value for the money an improved my... | |
| Confused about Krell FPB 300 400 200 Amplifiers The new Mcx 450 mono block series is a better Krell moving away from the old Krell sound and adding better mids and highs.Happy Listening. |
