| Sonus Faber EA II There is wisdom in recognition and appreciation of what you have.Charles | |
| Sonus Faber EA II Roxy54,I understand, I have this same tweeter in my Coincident Total Eclipse II speakers and it's superb. That's my point the Revelator and Esotar are each capable of stellar sound quality in the right hands. Charles | |
| Sonus Faber EA II If you’re referring to the Scanspeak Revelator tweeter some feel it was better than the Esotar. There’s no consensus favoring either. Unquestionably it is a matter of how each is implemented, matched with the other speaker drivers,crossover consi... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hello Joe, Without exception each account where someone has heard or owned both models they unequivocally say that as good as the Double Impact is the SE is the superior speaker. If you can comfortably afford the SE I’d suggest going that route. D... | |
| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers DF (Damping Factor) desirable level really depends on the speaker in question. Some speakers definitely require more than others, some speakers require very little DF. Too much DF can be detrimental to sound quality. There’s no such thing as the m... | |
| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers 30 watts was a minimal recommendation to provide moderate/reasonable listening levels. All 30 watt amplifiers aren’t created equally. There is a hierarchy of quality that definitely exists. For example I would be confident that the VAC Renaissance... | |
| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers Hi Al, Thanks for the additional specifications, I was relying on information from the Polk website. "If" the tube amplifier has good quality transformers and power supply (PS) I feel the same as atmasphere. This type of tube amplifier using it... | |
| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers Amojan, It was atmasphere who made the positive comment regarding tube amplifiers in his post yesterday. Did you not see this? I personally believe that the key issue here is amplifier "quality " be it tube or transistor. People suggesting just ge... | |
| PS Audio CD Memory Transport?? Yes Or NO Hello TH, It sure seems as though you unfortunately got a defective PWT. I have one of their earlier units and it has been excellent and trouble free for well over 6 years of nearly daily use. I've had none of the problems described by you. Let... | |
| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers MoskaudioAtmasphere mentioned tube amplifiers in his reply to you. You Polk is rated at 88 db sensitivity and an 8 ohm load. It would be very informative to listen to your speakers driven by a good quality push pull tube amplifier of suitable powe... | |
| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers Moskaudio (OP) didn’t say the Rotel played louder. What was pointed out is that the Rotel played at lower volume levels was "clearer"`(and better bass) sounding than the Yamaha at similar lower volume. This would suggest that the intelligibility ... | |
| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers Apparently it is the Yamaha. The OP just posted above that lower volume sound quality improved significantly when the Rotel replaced the Yamaha component. OP, I would heed the considerable knowledge/wisdom of atmasphere. He’s absolutely right in t... | |
| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers Agree with the sentiment of pursuing higher "quality" amplifier (true for all audio products make quality the priority ) rather than higher power. | |
| Efficient Speakers with SS Powered Subwoofers for SET amps? Chrisallen, Voxativ offers the Zeth B and the 9.87 system which both include a powdered subwoofer. I’m quite certain that these are more expensive than the Rethm alternatives. If I weren’t so happy with my current system I would acquire the LM 508... | |
| Efficient Speakers with SS Powered Subwoofers for SET amps? Hi chrisallen,Good idea regarding the LM 518ia. I would give serious consideration to the LM 508ia amplifier. For not much more money it is a 48 Watt SET so operation is pure class A (as are all SETs). What’s very unique is it uses the 300b as the... |
