| comparison between SS Spectral and LAMM tube amp Syntax,I can understand your Wilson speaker example(dificult load, crossover etc.). If the Kharma speaker has a relatively flat 8 ohm load( and assuming a simple crossover design) then it would seem the Lamm SET amp could work reasonably well with... | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? Sgr,I`m impressed by your exceptional patience and fortitude. Two years just to get a faulty amplifier repaired/replaced! That`s more than I could ever put up with. | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow Peterayer,I would agree a move in the direction of higher sensitivity is a smart one. The other consideration is easier ohm load(avoiding those low dips below 4 ohms) if this is indeed possible,depending on their philosophy. | |
| Graaf GM50, can it drive Tannoy Turnberry ? Pani,I honestly believe the Graaf amplifier would be an overall improvement driving your Rannoys.Best of Luck. | |
| Explain Class A amp to non audiophile friends Thanks Atmasphere,It would seem(at least in theory) that class A operation although much less efficient is a more pure and less 'altered' form of signal propagation.Implimentation probably has much to do with the final sound quality when comparing... | |
| Explain Class A amp to non audiophile friends Is the crossover distortion of class AB amplifiers actually audible? | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow It appears that Elberoth2 is using a Dartzeel amplifier to drive his Wilson speakers. Neither of these speakers would be considered an 'easy' load. | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? Tmsorrosk,The ML amp issues seem to center around the 300 series model(bad/poor quality capacitors). Your amplifiers are a different series/model and likely used better caps. I`m sure not 'every' 300 series amp owner had problems,but enough did to... | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? Roscoeiii, Good points,I also think it`s more than mere hearsay.There`s enough mentioned in the audiogon archives by former ML owners who would back missioncoonery`s statements. | |
| $$$Sensitive Speakers with $$Amps? Trelja, Very nice and interesting post!There are things that happen with audio that are just hard to explain(and sometimes hard for some to except)I was a happy owner of a very good PP tube amplifier(100 watt UL and 60 watt in triode). Along comes... | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? No one denies there are good sounding speakers that also measure well. The question is why do some speaker measure well yet sound poor.Why are there good sounding speakers that measure poorly. The debate lingers. | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? The Yamaha ns10 probably measures very well. | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? Nice,true and concise Atmasphere. | |
| $$$Sensitive Speakers with $$Amps? Hi Atmasphere,Wow ,you do listen at higher sound levels then most I`d imagine.Just purely out of curiosity do you have concerns about potential hearing loss at those listening levels?Last night I attended a jazz show featuring a quartet at our loc... | |
| $$$Sensitive Speakers with $$Amps? Atmasphere,Apparently the many who`ve heard the Horning-Tron 8 watt combo would disagree with you and your stated limitations. |
