| Best 300B SET Hi Pani,I find the good 300b SET amps allow me to enjoy any genre of music. I'm primarily into jazz, big band and some classical music. However when I do play electronic Chicago blues or rock at home it is very satisfying and gets me very involved... | |
| Valve amplifiers Superted,I haven't heard the Mastersound 845 amplifier but it's has a good word of mouth reputation. There are numerous highly regarded 845 SET amplifiers available. They cover a fairly broad price range. Try to make an effort to hear others and g... | |
| Capitol Audio Fest Speakers? David12,Agree regarding the Daedalus. I don't understand why the frequent pairing with Mod Wright solid state amplifiers(business agreement? ). That match sounds decent but I've heard them sound noticeably better with tube amplifiers. Maybe Lou be... | |
| Capitol Audio Fest Speakers? Salectric and Larryi, I always look forward to comments by you two, as both of you gravitate to "natural" sounding products..Your different opinons of the Horning speaker caught my attention.This speaker interests me as it would seem the type(high... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE I agree that an open forum allows comments from all who desire to share their opinions, that's a good thing. Why get upset with someone who owned the Magico and found it disappointing? Obviously he finds the Tannoy a better speaker. Some agree wit... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Pkoegz,You should compare both SP and Star Sound products directly and then decide based on listening. This is superior to citing articles of someone's opinion. Contributors to this thread have actually compared and the majority have selected Star... | |
| Best 300B SET Hi Pani,In another thread you were considering other amplifiers for your Tannoys. If it came to a choice, would you,1.keep the Wavac and find another speaker that's more compatible, or2. Keep the Tannoy and replace the Wavac? Or has this issue bee... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Hi Marco,I appreciate your input on these two world class linestages. As you point out, you couldn't possibly go wrong with either fine choice. The CSL is roughly 1/2 the cost of the stellar Allnic. The CSL high baseline performance can be substan... | |
| Best 300B SET Edoit,Given the talent and track record of Ken Shindo I'd expect that amplifier to be wonderful sounding. With the other excellent choices mentioned here I find it very difficult to deem anyone of them "the top choice". How did/would you reach suc... | |
| Valve amplifiers Superted,You have to trust what you hear and your spontaneous reactions. No surprise that you'd be very much attracted to a good SET amplifier. They make beautiful and natural sounding music (isn't that what you want?). My SET is ultra simple to m... | |
| Cary 805 vs 211 amp Joey,I like your taste in amplifiers but ageee with the comments above. That speaker isn't the best choice for those amps. That speaker was most probably meant to be driven by high current type transistor amplification. | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Usermanual,if anything he's getting more true music resolution and realism with his SET and Tannoys than his prior Magico S5, he had both in his home and would know.If you're satisfied with your Magico speakers why worry concerning his conclusions... | |
| Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns? Rlb61, You're happy with your sound. If you read many posts on this site you'll realize some folks never seem to reach that point. Thus the constant and frustrating "upgrade" pathway.I'm not suggesting nothing can be improved upon, but what's bein... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE The components that keep you engaged and compel you to listen for longer periods are the ones to own. Emotional involvement is crucial for prolonged enjoyment. I suspect that the LM 219i SET 845 amplifier would be wonderful with your Tannoys. I'm ... | |
| Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns? Rlb61,You've gotten two very different perspectives from Jmcgrogan2 and Doug Schroder. You specifically state that your system sounds "great". If it does truly sound that satisfying for you then John's comments are more applicable in your situatio... |
