| A Bright Pair of Watt Puppys If the puppy isn't working because a cable came loose (the tail), then the watt wouldn't work. The watt receives its signal from the cross over in the puppy.I don't know your cables very well, but cable matching is definately more apparent with a ... | |
| Good Amp/Preamp for "bright " Thiel 3.6 speakers ? Having owned Thiel speakers (2.2s not the 3.6s) my experience was that these speakers sounded very good with my Mark Levinson 331.5, this was with an Audio Aero Capitole running direct to the amp. I also found the Thiel speakers good with my Krell... | |
| Aero Capitole as a preamp? Having owned the Capitole and having run it in both direct and via separate preamp, my answer depends on the quality of your preamp.The Calypso is a pretty darn good preamp, so your results are not likely to improve, the question would be would th... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4JR Bi-Wire I had these same speakers and did in fact run the Analysis Plus sivlers biwire version. These cables start out as connected (all 2/4 cables) at the point that they connect to the amp but split immediately at this point so that you have no problem ... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole - 6021W subminiature tube ?? Having owned (currently still do sort of) a Capitole, I recently sent it to Arizona for new tubes to be installed - a fairly easy process and not too expensive. The company is Sedonix and are the official service center in USA for AA.Unfortunately... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole or GNS mod on Opus 21 TPK123 I think hits an important nail with his brief comparison of the AA and the Opus. He feels as though he is getting every detail with the Opus while the AA lacks some of the finest details, in particular at the highs and lows. They are very d... | |
| Krell Showcase versus Krell HTS 7.1 The newest HTS 7.1's biggest difference is in the stereo pre-amp portion. The preamp in the newest 7.1 is based on the KST preamp and is very good.The older HTS 7.1 units had some little annoying attributes to their operation. The newest 7.1 does ... | |
| Is anyone using Wilson Cubs with a Watch Dog? I have no experience with the Cubs/Watch Dog, but I do have experience with the following:Watt/Puppy (mains) with Watt alone for center channelDuettes (mains) with Watt alone for center channelBoth of these combinations I have found to be excellen... | |
| Mark Levinson Amplifier quesiton In general, the only answer to this requires the questions of Moemoney to be answered. I currently own the BAT VK 60 amplifiers in mono configuration, 120 watts per channel. I also own a Mark Levinson 331.5 which I believe is going to be fairly si... | |
| Preamp for Watt & Puppy 5.1 I run Wilson Duettes and have also run the Watt 3s and I like a tubed amp with these speakers personally. My experience was that a tubed amp is not as important with the Duettes, as they produce a terrific response and are less prone to glare or b... | |

| Tube Amp. Power ratings Atmasphere, you seem pretty knowledgeable on this topic. I am not throwing out a trap or anything of the sort. I have tubed power amps (BAT VK-60 running at 120 wpc in mono). My speakers are Wilson Duettes connected to the 4-ohm tap and running pr... | |
| Class-D amps - a different re view Colloms, my thoughts exactly. Having tried a small group of Class D amps, extended listening resulted in my dissatisfaction in several areas with all the amps. Of the group that I listened to, I owned the CI D200 amps the longest (several months) ... | |
| Best matching amp for Wilson W/P6, any sudgestions I think you should consider two sets of amps and two preamps. While I don't run the watt/puppies, I do run the Duettes. I too have found the Levinson to be a very good match with these speakers. In fact, I have usually run a Audio Aero Capitole di... | |
| music server Again, I think the Cambridge is a great unit for those that are not highly computer savvy. I also looked at the Olive units (did not listen though) and from what I recall reading, they too, are quite simple to use without requiring too much comput... |
