| Possible move from Hovland amps? You obviously have high regard for your Hovands and are quite pleased. Why not wait and see how well they mate with the new speakers? You may not wish/need to change anything.Different may not be better.Regards, | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Peterayer,You make some very good points. Atmasphere may reject the term "voicing" but clearly the desired outcome(sound quality) is subjective and in the end is determined by listening.I find it difficult to except one can absolutely 'know' the s... | |
| Can Music Reference MR9 drive Tannoy DMT 215 II Kinhoang,It`d be very interesting to know how your speakers sound driven by the 2A3 amplifier. This is such a different type of amplifier compared to the Music Reference MR9.Regards, | |
| Art Audio Carissa Signature 845 or 300 b amp? I really do enjoy open forum boards as there`s such a diversity of individual opinions and experiences discussed. I like the 45,2A3 and 300b tubes. Gordon Rankin(Wavelength Audio) has expressed his dislike of the 2A3 tube, he thinks it`s inferior ... | |
| Tannoy GLENAIR 15 vs DALI HELICON 800 MK2 ? The power rating of the Krell is less a factor than the sonic signature it has. Which speaker compliments and mates better in terms of sound quality is the true objective.Regards, | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Atmasphere,I understand your point, the circuit is the root or foundation for the sound quality. Is it fair to say that superior quality capacitors will allow more of the intrinsic character of the circuit to be appreciated(less signal degradation... | |
| Art Audio Carissa Signature 845 or 300 b amp? Jburidan,A high quality 300b PP amplifier such as VAC,Canary,NAF etc. would be fine with this speaker I believe. If they better the Jadis is a matter of personal choice.I`ve heard the VAC REN amps and like them very much (they have exceptional pow... | |
| Tannoy GLENAIR 15 vs DALI HELICON 800 MK2 ? Which of these two very different speakers will sound/match better to the Krell amplifiers is the question.This compatability is important to ultimate sonic sucess.Regards, | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Audiozen,You have figured it all out,congratulations. | |
| Can Music Reference MR9 drive Tannoy DMT 215 II Speaker tap preference is determined by listening to both. Your ears will solve that question.Regards, | |
| Art Audio Carissa Signature 845 or 300 b amp? Almarg makes a very good point.Mattzack2, as much as I admire my SET amplifier it`s not the 'ideal' choice for your Dali speaker. Al is right the Frankenstein does`nt have a 4 ohm transformer tap(8 and 16 ohms).The Frankenstein has an exceptionall... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Hifitime,Well said, there`s no better teacher than the experience of actually listening.He`s heard the Hegel and likes it,good. But relying on measurements is near worthless.Regards, | |
| Art Audio Carissa Signature 845 or 300 b amp? Mattzack2,You can`t go wrong with either amp type. So very much depends on which particular brand/model. Within the genre of 300b amps there`s quite a bit of variation in terms of performance due to implementation,part quality, power supply,transf... | |
| Where would you go after Wilson WP7? Audiooracle,"Can another speaker sound better given the smallish room"The above replies were appropriate given the OP`s question and concerns.I believe most are aware of the 'multiple' variables that impact one`s system.Regards, | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC Mrtennis,We all like what we like,nothing wrong with that. If you prefer the "classic tube sound"(what ever that may be to you) then SS just is`nt going to make you happy, simple as that. I generally prefer tube to SS for amplification(see my syst... |
