| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? The supposition is not the reported test bench measurements of two published reviews. My use of the term refers to reaching a conclusion based on those measurements without the benefit of any listening experiences with speaker and amplifier to co... | |
| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? "Life can be good" indeed.I believe that you will experience further improvement with insertion of the Cary SLP-5. 20 watt SET ? Are you considering parallel 300b SET or 845/211 tubes?Charles | |
| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? George, To be very clear I am not disputing the very daunting speaker impedance measurements you have cited. Those numbers are factual, no argument. However the person who designed these speakers and is obviously responsible for their subsequent l... | |
| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? Good point and perhaps Sandy Gross utilizes an 8 watt SET that has output transformers up to the task. After all these speakers are his creation. If anyone knows them it would be him. We do know that the Manley Stingray in triode mode (20 watts) h... | |
| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? Jperry,Thank you for your very kind comments. They are much appreciated. George,I don’t disagree with your comments, you do have to judge each speaker individually in its totality. All things considered load impedance and associated phase angles a... | |
| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? Jperry, Knowing that Sandy Gross and cakids are both very pleased with their respective tube amplifiers driving the G.E. Triton. I have no doubt whatsoever the Line Magnetic 805ia would sound "great" as you mentioned.300b as driver for the 805 o... | |
| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? Hi cakids, Thanks for posting your listening impressions. You can get dozens (Hundreds) of opinions on what will or won’t work based on this or that reason. Actually listening to the audio product in your own system is hands down the superior appr... | |
| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? cakids the designer of these speakers prefers 8 watt SET amps and this is obviously a reflection of his taste and how he hears/listens. Your listening biases may be similar to his or possibly quite different, who knows?You have a good quality el... | |
| should I buy this tube amp? By all accounts I’m aware of this is said to be a very good sounding 845 amplifier. Natural tonal richness, transparent and open sonic presentation. If you have a speaker that will do its 24 watts justice I’d give it a try. Seems to be a well impl... | |
| Focal 1028BE2's or Tekton Moab Towers Hearing audio components at shows and dealer showrooms are reasonable steps to take to get some idea of how a product sounds. I can say that I've heard some audio components that were not particularly impressive under show conditions but in ano... | |
| Focal 1028BE2's or Tekton Moab Towers mm1tt77, I've heard several Focal Audio speakers but not your specific model. I've heard the Tekton Double Impact (DI) and the DI SE model. These are solidly good sounding speakers. By all accounts the Moabs is a clear step upward in terms of sou... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Jcarcopo, Your comments /experience are a good example of quality compared to quantity in regard to amplifier power. The 700 watt Nord was not the sonic equal of your much lower power tube amplifiers (With your speakers). No surprise to me.If the ... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure On paper I don't see what would make the Gryphon Diablo a particularly good match with the Nenuphar given the specific design objective of this speaker. However as has been shown before there's no substitute for actually listening and judging.I do... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Hello Doug,Thank you for your informative reply. It is a true compliment that those inexpensive tube amplifiers worked so well with your two high caliber resolving speakers. Once again an example of the importance of a well chosen output transform... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions Hi sedond,I'm curious. Were the 3 other 4 watt amplifiers bigger/heavier than the 4 watt Decware amp? I suspect the more capable 4 watt amps had beefier power supplies as well as larger and better quality output transformers. Were these amps S... |
