| Cary 805 vs 211 amp Joey, I hope you're able to actually hear this match and then decide. I'm bias in favor of tube power amps but some speakers are designed with the intention of SS amplifiers driving them.It seems the B&W is one of those speakers.Good Luck, | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Marco,Given your very high opinion of the CLS performance with the standard 101D tubes, it'd be interesting if you heard the premium Psvane W.E.tubes installed.Quite an upgrade for reasonable cost per feedback results.Charles, | |
| Best 300B SET Edoit,The Trenner-Friedl was designed based on a 8 watt amplifier (300b SET?) they had in their possession at the time. I'd email them for more insight and their thoughts. You have many wonderful choices given that you're starting from scratch. Th... | |
| Valve amplifiers In terms of information, search the audiogon archives. Gon member 213cobra has posted some very interesting threads on 845 SET amplifiers on this site. Also do a google search for reviews and discussion about these amplifiers. There's a lot of goo... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Now that I think about it I recall an Italian reviewer who used the CLS with the Viola Bravo amplifier and found the combination stunning. This review was a couple of years ago I believe. Charles, | |
| Best 300B SET There are many excellent choices and combinations available regarding SET amplifiers and appropriate efficient speakers. I love my Coincident system but I could replace it(although I won't) and start over and feel confident that other systems woul... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Marco,The CLS with a krell amplifier, that's an unusual but curious pairing, how did that sound? That Viola is a very expensive but well praised amplifier. I've never heard the CSL paired with SS amplifiers, interesting. Charles | |
| Best 300B SET Jet,Our experiences are similar regarding 300b amps.My prior amplifier was a very good 100 watt(60 watt triode mode which I preferred) push pull class AB 6550/KT88.I wondered if the 8 watt SET 300b might let me down in some areas while excelling i... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Al,Thanks and I much appreciate your very kind comments.Mel, we're all just guys sharing opinions on a topic of common interest.I'm just as entitled to a viewpoint as you(no more, no less). Tannoy lovefest? Because some listeners here prefer them ... | |
| Best 300B SET Discussions like this sometimes ignore the individuality of products. Which 845 or 300b amp? There's is a hierarchy and some will be better than others no doubt. What speaker is being driven? Another huge variable to factor in. It's difficult to g... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Bill that is the same sense I detect as well, motives questioned because he didn't like the Magico. Seems a bit childish in reality.Why so sensitive regarding the Magico? | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Jeff, Marco is discussing the line stage not the Frankenstein amp. | |
| Best 300B SET Jet, absolutely +1, same results! | |
| Capitol Audio Fest Speakers? Larry thanks much for your further detailed impressions. Excessively loud volume at shows is a recurrent pet peeve of mine, they just end up sounding worse.Charles, | |
| Valve amplifiers The world of tube amplifiers is vast, no argument on that point. Superted was captivated by the sound of the 845 SET amp he heard and I understand this and thus stayed on subject. I'd encourage people to listen to all types of amplifiers and expan... |
