| 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... | |
| Tonearm suggestions for my Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck I have a 12" Thomas Schick tonearm and it's great, especially considering the cost. Despite the claims made in Schick's new website that these arms support cartridges up to 22 µm/mN in my experience this tonearm definitely works best with very ... | |
| Speaker selector app. IMO the Niles speaker control is not the best solution. If you want to seriously compare speakers I suggest you get one of the Luxman speaker selectors - see here: http://www.luxman.co.jp/product/#accessory (turn on Google translate). I use th... | |
| Speaker selector app. An app might narrow down speaker options, but it can't tell you what speakers will work in your room and sound best to you. Unless you don't really care about all that. | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. I was recently in Miami on business and visited a great audio dealer: Deja Vu South. They had a pair of Harbeth P3ESRs setup in a very small room and they sounded incredible. The speakers were well forward of the front wall in a nearfield positi... | |
| KD 500 w/ Grace 707 arm. Stylus type. That tonearm is only going to be happy with a high compliance cartridge. New Ortofon 2M series, some Grados or a used Grace cartridge. Said from experience. | |
| Larsen speakers: 4.2 or 6.2??. Has anyone heard or own them?? I have owned all three models of Larsen speakers, 4/6/8 and I used to be a dealer for these. I think that Larsen speakers provide excellent sound, excellent value and are very easy to live with due to the easy placement options: 1- find the longe... | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one Sorry, chiming in late. It's your speakers, not your amp. Speakers are where the main difference in sound occurs, not at the amp. I'm not saying that all amps sound the same, but the effects you specifically mention (explosiveness and drum kick... | |

| used Integrated tube amp under $1500 for Klipsch Cornwall III's? My $0.02 worth: look on craigslist or hifishark for a used Harman Kardon A224 Trio integrated amp for approx. $300. It's an EL84 unit made in the late 50s/early 60s and built like a tank. Very colorful and snappy. Have the caps replaces (all of... | |
| Klipsch KG2 Speakers- Crossovers Needed- Where to Purchase? In all honesty, for what a pair of KG2s go for I would just buy another pair in good working order. Or consider trading up for a pair of KG4s - very under-rated speakers |
