| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Jkull, As I wrote above both tubes are terrific. I’d go for the best price in your situation. Either should be excellent as a driver tube in your amplifier. The standard KR would seem an excellent tube driving the 845 tube., in this function I'm ... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Jkull,The upscale Czech 300bs are excellent all around tubes. I used a pair of the KR XLS loaned from a friend. I'd say that in my amplifier the EML XLS is a "bit" more open/airy and the KR XLS slightly darker (but not dark if you know what I mea... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Hi jkull, I've had the sheer pleasure of owning the Elrog, Takatsuki and EML XLS 300b tubes. These are simply top-tier tubes that sound superb yet each has its unique character. The EML XLS is admirably natural and transparent I can’t say that ... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Jkull, I haven’t commented extensively on the 300b options because I’m only familiar with it as an output tube and not as a driver. It’s certainly possible that the brand characteristics remain consistent regardless of duty they provide in the amp... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Walter,Thanks for your reply. I was just curious given the sensitivity of the Double Impacts. I suspect at moderate listening levels you may rarely exceed the 1st watt of power.Charles | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Hi jkull,I appreciate your update post. You did make a pretty drastic change in the direction of your audio system (mega watt solid state driving demanding speakers). I’m happy for you that you took a chance with a near polar opposite approach and... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Waler, Hello, I must say that I am not surprised your amplifier and the DI are such a fine match. Given your typical listening levels what is the power range/watts your amplifier meters are displaying?Charles | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Jond,"Manhattan Moods " Pianist McCoy Tyner and vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson recorded in 1994. Beautiful jazz.Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hello Eric,The Ulfbehrt is larger than the DI and has increased internal volume. Does it have a higher sensitivity than the DI and will it be available as a 4 and 8 ohm version ? Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Bill, (Grannyring),I agree with your assessment regarding the visual/aesthetic impact of these speakers. My wife and I suspect many women will find them overbearing and physically unattractive. They are not going to be an acceptable addition into ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Jonathan,Your Art Audio Diavolo 300b SET has earned a reputation for beautiful sound quality and aesthetics as well. I’m glad it has mated so wonderfully with your pair of the Tekton DI. Given yours and other recent commentary on this thread it do... | |
| Decware and Zu. A pairing made in heaven I'll join the chorus here as well. Higher efficiency easy load impedance speakers paired with lower power (but good quality) amplifiers I prefer to brute power amplifiers driving demanding current/power hungry speakers. Charles | |
| Vac 200 IQ vs Ayon orthosII Jafant makes a very good point about particular music genre preferences. Electronica , Hip hop, pop and rock, actually any music emphasizing electronic bass may with certain speakers be better served with high current transistor amplifiers. Ideall... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Teajay, Well I must confess, no tattoos. However I do have large photographs of Bird, Dizzy, Miles and Monk on the walls of my listening room 😂😂I understand the analogy you used to describe your 2 different audio systen’s character, I know just... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Mac,Thanks I appreciate that offer. My speakers are the Coincident Total Eclipse II. These were a simpler design than the Total Victory II and probable easier to drive.Charles |
