| Pass XA 30.5 with Revel F 208 ? Hi Kartikeyp,The Coincident Triumph Extreme would be an excellent choice in my opinion. It would mate well in a room of your dimensions . This speaker is very easy to drive( relatively flat 8 ohm load) and your Pass amplifier would simply coast, s... | |
| Best 845 tube out there? KR tubes are an enigma, they have a reputation for good sound yet have been plagued with reliability woes. | |
| Coincident Dragon MK I vs MK II Hi David,Hey I appreciate your passionate "rant" I can tell you're genuinely impressed with these new power cords.Again you're right as to my priorities, the areas you cite as improved, naturaness, organic character and harmonics are what grab my ... | |
| Best 845 tube out there? Given the quality and sucess of their 300b beauties I'm sure EML or Takatsuki could develop a superb 845 as I well.Charles, | |
| Pass XA 30.5 with Revel F 208 ? Tls49,I appreciate your kind comments very much. Charles, | |
| Best 845 tube out there? Valvulator,You're right, Absolare used the Elrog 845 for a while but have moved on from that tube. It seems to have developed a reputation for poor reliability despite its high price.Brf,I'll let Jwm speak for himself but he has exceptional nuance... | |
| Pass XA 30.5 with Revel F 208 ? Hi Tls49,I understand your point and priorities. I don't desire or seek those high peak levels, and I've heard systems capable of reaching 105-110db levels. That doesn't impress me and isn't an important personal criteria. But of course that's jus... | |
| Best 845 tube out there? Brf,This is a good example of individual impression variance. I've heard the Psvane W.E. Replica 845 in direct comparison to the RCA Nos 845 in Jwm's Absolare PSET amamplifier. The Psvane, marketing hype or not withstanding, was clearly superior i... | |
| Pass XA 30.5 with Revel F 208 ? Don c55,I share your opinion concerning the excessive high volumes and the real threat of potential hearing impairment (irreversible). But ultimately to each their own. I attended a jazz concert last night in a modest size venue and it was unampli... | |
| Pass XA 30.5 with Revel F 208 ? Hi Jmcgrogan2,I was responding to the post by Zavato written above my comment. I'm familiar with the specs of the highly regarded Pass XA30.5.Charles, | |
| Pass XA 30.5 with Revel F 208 ? If a speaker seems "light on octane" driven by a 300 watt amp, that's quite a very inefficient speaker that's wasting good quality power (Pass amp) IMO. Its never been clear to me why some speakers need to draw so much power to come alive, just a ... | |
| Looking for advice on these speakers With the vast reduction of B and M stores around now there's limited opportunity to hear speakers in a showroom anymore. Once you step outside the usual high end brands the pool of candidates to hear in dealer showroom are small be they high, mode... | |
| Looking for advice on these speakers Compromise at some level is expected when making decisions concerning audio components. It's true that opting for low power amplifiers does rule out the use of some speakers due to insufficient drive ability. On the flip side there are those who b... | |
| Looking for advice on these speakers Flexibility limitations can exist in both directions (inevitably). Low efficiency speakers lessen the choice of amplifiers that can drive them. Honestly either option can work out successfully. Fortunately there are enough fine high efficiency spe... | |
| Looking for advice on these speakers I'd suspect that a circuit that is reliant on a feedback loop(as Ralph described) is not in the direction of SET sound (generically speaking). One of the "major" attractions of SET amplifiers is their simplicity and lack of need for NFB. Now which... |
