| MHDT Orchid or Audio Mirror/ pick one for me please @paulcreed Unfortunately I sold the exemplar and switched to streaming & computer audio in 2012, so I can't make any comparison. Every part of my system is different.And the AM takes 6922s, so you're all set for tube rolling with it too. It ha... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Audio Mirror/ pick one for me please @tonnesen The AM does not include a streaming input, so sq of streaming vs. cd will completely depend on the equipment that's providing input. That said, the only thing I miss about my cd player (which was an exemplar Denon 2900 8 years ago), is ... | |
| Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms? Sounds like a reasonable plan to me. Please do report back on the outcome. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Audio Mirror/ pick one for me please The AM is just so beautifully musical. Highly recommended. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Audio Mirror/ pick one for me please I love my AMT3se and know of another member who did a direct shootout between an upgraded Orchid and the AMT3se. He chose the AM.I chose mine over a Lampizator Amber 3, PS Audio Directstream, iFi DSD Pro, Matrix x-Sabre Pro, & Shiit Bifrost 2.... | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? Having watched some of the Townshend demo videos and experienced the benefits of iso acoustics pucks, I'm with @rixthetrick on the benefits of springs. Given the pure mechanical nature, I went with the Chinese solution on AliExpress: https://www.a... | |
| 300B vs. KT88 SET? I also highly recommend the eml xls 300bs. Bulletproof reliability (mine still tested good after 5 years of daily use and I bought them used), great extension on both ends of the frequency spectrum, and a more reasonable cost than most of the othe... | |
| 300B vs. KT88 SET? I had coincident Frankenstein 300b monos and they excelled at every genre on my coincident super eclipse iii speakers. Only sold because they didn’t have enough power to drive the coincident pres I upgraded to. I adored those amps and highly recom... | |
| Focal 1028BE2's or Tekton Moab Towers @glupson & @twoleftears Can you elaborate on your tekton return experience and what you did/did not like about the speakers when you demoed them? | |
| Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms? @n80 Have you contacted Aerial and asked for their recommendation?? They know more than anyone here about what might fit your use scenario and excel in doing so...https://aerialacoustics.com/contact-us/ | |
| Focal 1028BE2's or Tekton Moab Towers I've never heard the tektons, but I agree, the reviews and enthusiasm speak for themselves. People want to play like there's some conspiracy that makes all these people love their speakers...Honestly, I think you should give them a shot. If you ca... | |
| High-Efficiency Single Driver Speaker System You might also try posting your question over in the cube audio thread... https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/cube-audio-nenuphar-single-driver-speaker-10-inch-tqwt-enclos... | |

| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @rwpollock Wow, had seen the name in print, but didn't known anything about those amps. They look like a ton of fun. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @rwpollock Definitely. The idling board of the unused channel does (in my experience) still create a little extra distortion though, so if I settled on that solution, I'd eventually disconnect that board from the power supply. If a friend had a u... |
