| Any High-end speakers "kid-friendly" not fragile? How old are the kids? | |
| Speaker Ideas upto $2500 I would start out with a combination that has "general" concensus, like the Totem Forest with a 60-100 watt amp, or Adagios with a mid powered tube integrated, and live with that combination for a while.You will have a very nice system that will b... | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? Mastersound makes great amplifiers. Enjoy! Tube amps need such simple maintenance. If you can change the oil in your lawnmower you will have no problem maintaining a tube amp. If you have to bring the lawnmower in for a new engine because you blew... | |
| Mcintosh sound I had the 6300 and the AX7e side by side with the devore super 8 and Totem Forests. They are both good amps but I went with the Ayre because it has better clarity, soundstage, presence and rythym. It's also very quiet. If you want SS I would look ... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? VW TDI runs on biodeisel. Kubota tractor with front end loader and PTO. | |
| Loudspeakers with a wide sweet spot How can the sweet spot be wide? It's it the best spot, "The Sweet Spot?"Is this a Zen question? | |
| Coincident Eclipse vs Devore I've owned the super 8 and have listened to the nines on many occasions. You really have to spend some time deciding what it is about a speaker that draws you in to it. How does the Coincident paint the picture of the band? What is it that you lik... | |
| Have you seen this video? Very inspiring I've seen the core band and can only recommend trying to see them if they are around. Grandpa Elliot is amazing and the respect that this group of musicians and journalists have for music is truly intense. Many thumbs up. | |
| How is your power bill? I live in New England so utilities are expensive. We have managed to save with a highly insulated home with active and passive solar. I'm working on a biodiesel cogeneration system that will get us well off the grid. | |
| Telefunkens for the 12AX7's and 12AT7's Andy at Vintage Tube Services knows tubes and is very nice. | |
| Advice on a nice integrated is needed What are you looking for in the music? What is the rest of the system? VAC, Luxman? Maybe. | |
| Luxman L 505 U Integrated Amplifier I mixed this amp in with an Ax7e and an ARC Vsi-55. Both were better than the Luxman to my ears and system. I think you can do better at this price point. Get into the better Luxman gear and all bets are off. | |
| How to make sound less detailed with warmth? The most obvious solution is to listen to some different speakers. You can drag it out but the speakers are the key to the sound you are looking for. | |
| With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you Some of my favorites are from Verity, Rockport, and Magico. I'd haul in the suitcase full of lute and leave with one of these. | |
| Which Integrated tube amp? I wouldn't look for a random amp and then try to pair speakers to it. This seems like a huge waste of energy. I could understand this approach if you listened to five 300B amps with different speakers and the 300b sound was "The One."I suggest lis... |
