| My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon ebm, Thanks (I think), although I admit that I'm not sure what you are trying to say it sounds vaguely supportive. | |
| Looking for a good full range floor stander I offered my thoughts and suggestions regarding dealers posting on Audiogon. I realized afterward posting it that I risked hijacking this thread from the OP so I have moved this discussion to the Misc Audio forum: https://forum.audiogon.com/dis... | |
| SET amplifier recommendation I own 804S and when searching for amps I listened to them in the same room and setup with McIntosh MC252 (250W SS) vs MC275 (75W tubes), and preferred the 275.Also, the 804S is not the same thing as the original Nautilus 805 stand mount speaker, w... | |
| 1973 West coast killer budget sound was a pair of RSL 3600s. Placed near the corners of the room and suspended from the ceilings by chains.If you sold some hash that week or were a trust fund baby you night have had (2) pair of Large Advents, stacked. | |
| Omega Super Alnico Monitor/Aric Audio SE KT88 jactoy, that's how I'm using them - in a med-large living room with a pair of REL subs. They sound great for EBO (everything but orchestral). | |
| Basic integrated amp for $700-$900 If you want something that's NOT made in China there's the Edwards Audio IA-1 RP and IA-2 RP integrated amps, made in the UK. Both include a good MM phono stage and a (admittedly plastic) remote | |
| Cartridges that get strings right? Did you try the Colibri or the A90/95 ?Colibri - no, as far as I remember.A90/95 - several. I used to sell them and bought one at a promo price. The A95 is a very good cartridge but IMO it doesn't come close to the detail and impact provided b... | |
| SET amplifier recommendation Get a Golden Sound SE-40 PSE amp.roberjerman2, do you mean the ubiquitous Golden Tube Audio SE-40? If so, my guess is two of these bridged might work with the OP's B&W 805s but that's a hard row to hoe. These amps need to be rebuilt and ma... | |
| Cartridges that get strings right? In my system the London Decca Reference cartridge blows away everything else I have tried for orchestral music. It's a fussy cartridge (but not as much as in the old days) that requires a good tonearm and phono stage match, as well as precise ali... | |
| SET amplifier recommendation You are not going to get far w/ a SET amp connected to your B&W 805s. If you want to enjoy the great midrange magic that SET (or SEP) amps can provide, you are going to need a pair of efficient speakers that are happy at 8Ω or 16Ω impedence. ... | |
| Omega Super Alnico Monitor/Aric Audio SE KT88 I own a pair of Omega Alinico 6 monitors. They are phenomenal speakers that do almost everything right and image like few others. My only complaint, if you can call it that, is that they do sound a tad congested when playing complex music - larg... | |
| Cartridges that get strings right? I agree with (almost) everything already said here. IMO speakers are the single component most critical to whatever sound you are trying to achieve. No other single component will make as much as a difference to your systems sound.Other componen... | |
| Has anyboidy had any experience with an 833-A single-ended triode amplifier? There are far easier, safer and cheaper methods for driving more current to a pair of speakers. No need to set your house on fire to do so. | |
| Larsen speakers: 4.2 or 6.2??. Has anyone heard or own them?? Is that Tim? Howdy!Duevel speakers? Wow, how... esoteric. But seriously, you should describe them in this or another post. I have never heard them or even seen them but I would love to hear more about your impressions.Back to sunnyjim's origin... | |
| Larsen speakers: 4.2 or 6.2??. Has anyone heard or own them?? sunnyjim, I closed my dealership over two years ago. It was a side business and as much as I love music and gear it was waaay too much work for the paltry return.John Larsen is a great guy and the Michael Vamos at Audio Skies, the U.S. distributo... |
