| Feedback QLN Prestige Three Speakers Requested I'm finding the Audio Hungary Qualiton 100 watt tube power amp (not the integrated) is pairing wonderfully with the Linear Tube Audio Microzotl preamp. As an aside, I want to call out the great customer support I've received from Audio Hungary/Qua... | |
| Considering moving to separates with a tube preamp-appreciate recommendations @ronsbass - +1 on Linear Tube Audio Microzotl preamp. Mine arrived just yesterday, so I just starting using it 24 hours ago. That said, I've been blown away by how good it is. It absolutely up-leveled my system. It's a stellar product. Both LTA ... | |
| Why a dearth of some brands on the used market? @hilde45 - I'm yet to hear these speakers, but from my short time in this hobby they are spoken of reverentially. I'd love to hear speakers Devore some day. @rodman99999 - Makes sense. I'm in the same camp that once I find something that I'm hap... | |
| Feedback QLN Prestige Three Speakers Requested @perkadin - You know EXACTLY what I’ve been wrestling with! It’s that lower volume listening one does in the evening before retiring for bed. I’ve loved listening to those hypnotic mid-range and treble frequencies, but coming away feeling like som... | |
| Buchardt S400 Mk II vs Sony SSCS 5 in Bass @lanx0003 - Makes sense. Thanks for additional context! | |
| Buchardt S400 Mk II vs Sony SSCS 5 in Bass I recently put together a second system for my office which feature the Buchardt s400 mkii speakers. Driving them with a Luxman 590axii class A amp and Gold Note streamer/dac. For my needs, and the office space, I've been impressed with the base. ... | |
| Feedback QLN Prestige Three Speakers Requested @soix @arafiq - Thank you! I'm very happy with my purchase! @grislybutter - That's sort of my hesitation with subs. It just sounds like getting a sub dialed in is painstaking and not guaranteed. Just hesitant to take that plunge, but I could be ... | |
| Feedback QLN Prestige Three Speakers Requested @grislybutter - Where in San Diego are you? North County? Downtown? I used to surf a lot at Sunset Cliffs out on Point Loma. Miss those days. Some of the best years of my life. Younger and more carefree... Regarding Hungary, I've been there twic... | |
| Feedback QLN Prestige Three Speakers Requested @grislybutter - I think the Dynaudio Heritage Special speakers are fantastic. I've gone to numerous audio dealers to audition speakers and, upon returning home, felt the Dynaudio Heritage Specials were better than I'd just auditioned... However,... | |
| Feedback QLN Prestige Three Speakers Requested @grislybutter - Thanks for the prompt! THANK YOU to everyone who made a comment and suggestion here. I read them all over the past few weeks and were all greatly appreciated. I did end up pulling the trigger on the QLN, purchasing them from a ... | |
| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? +1 on Buchardt s400 mkii speakers. I purchased them recently for my second system and have been utterly impressed. The base response of these speakers impart a warm, easy-to-listen quality. They are keepers for the price. | |
| Feedback QLN Prestige Three Speakers Requested @soix @jeffstrick - I'll share my impressions once I get everything up and running. I'm very curious how the LTA preamp will pair with the Audio Hungary 100 watt tube amp and QLN speakers. I somehow suspect that particular combo might not have b... | |
| Feedback QLN Prestige Three Speakers Requested @jeffstrick - I'll be driving them with the Audio Hungary / Qualiton 100 Watt tube power amp with a Linear Tube Audio Microzotl Preamp. I've had the Audio Hungary integrated at my house to demo too. I decided to take the Qualiton preamp out of the... | |
| Feedback QLN Prestige Three Speakers Requested Apologies for delay in getting back to everyone. Been a busy few days but wanted to thank you for your replies. First off, I pulled the trigger on the QLN Prestige Three. Purchased them used from an audio recording engineer in New York. He had p... | |
| Experience with Puritan Audio 136 Purifier @vinylvalet - In the future, I'm planning on purchasing an additional Puritan for my second unit. I'd welcome your thoughts on how the 156 improves overall performance. Did you start with the 136 and then upgrade? Do you feel the 156 is worth th... |
