| Gemme Tanto V2- any thoughts? Not sure if the 3/30/11 question was directed at me, as I have the Katanas.I have come to the conslusion that the stated required power for the Gemme Katanas is really not all that fair. In speaking with Robert, he conveyed that they spend a lot o... | |
| Ayon Triton for Wilson Duettes? RGS, to me the beauty of the Duettes was their external cross-overs. The speakers are delivered with various resistors to tailor the sound to your likes, room, speaker location, etc. . . I don't recall if th tweeter was the same, but I think it is... | |
| Power amp help Then assuming your room is not too large and you listening volumes are reasonable, this is probably the minimum power you would want to go with (100 wpc @ 8 ohms). I've never listened to the Thiels with Bryston, but I am sure there are many other ... | |
| Power amp help Of those listed, I would go with the Bryston as well. Though I don't know the specs on the 3B. The 2.2s like a fair amount of power. I would not run them at anything less than 100 wpc into 8 ohms. I had the 2.2s some time ago and ran a Mark Levins... | |
| Gemme Tanto V2- any thoughts? Yakbob, one thing that I can confirm is Robert's responsiveness. I have had similar experiences with such a small group of other companies, and when it does happen it makes one recognize they are working with a special (aka caring) company.After s... | |
| Front Speaker Cable Lengths Actually, from a speaker cable manufacturing perspective, I would strongly state that all the cables in a surround sound system should be the same. Better yet, if you are ever going to contemplate adding speakers to another room, the cables in you... | |
| stupid question about sources, amps, and loudness I don't know the steps in volume control for the EAR CDP. But my question is when the EAR is running into the PLL preamp, why don't you have the EAR's volume/output set to fixed (is this not possible with the EAR?)?I have heard very good things ab... | |
| stupid question about sources, amps, and loudness Sounds like a gain issue. What is the gain rating on your current amp? I have several different amps with different gains each, having nothing to do with power rating. If amp X has more gain than amp Y then the speakers playing from amp X at a vol... | |
| Explain Amp classes & how effects sound? Mordante comments about class A marketed amps really falling to class A/B is important. IME there is a notable difference with many of these amps when they drop down into class A/B in terms of performance and sound characteristics. Personally, I a... | |
| Any gemme tanto v2 owners out there? ...tonight I moved the Watt/Puupies out from their location (and away from any sound impact areas) and listened further to the Gemme Katanas, including tweaking placement, etc. . . This is the best that they have sounded (they always sounded very ... | |
| Benfits of upgraded connectors I removed the connectors from my speaker cables and can tell you I was extremely dissapointed with the change in performance. Even my 10 year old daughter could her the difference. She immediately commented - Dad, where did the music go?I put the ... | |
| Self-powered speakers: any good? I'll jump on the ATC bandwagon. But also wonder if the dual squeezebox/Duet/Touch approach will be error proof. I have a Duet (one) and love it. But the idea that you will hook up a separate Touch to each speaker, via the built-in DAC and outputti... | |
| Ayon Triton for Wilson Duettes? Baj, I don't know the Ayon to comment. But I did own the Duettes for about a year. They are great speakers and truly wonderful if your room is moderate to smaller in size. I ran the Duettes with a variety of SS amps, but also with some BAT VK-60 a... | |
| Any gemme tanto v2 owners out there? Re: above JoeHernandez statement between the Pioneer and the older Fisher. Pioneer products IMO (I own one of their AVR surround receivers and other items in the past) are gimmicky over high performance or sound quality. The Fisher amp/receiver wo... | |
| Explain Amp classes & how effects sound? And in follow up to Atmasphere post, Class D is the class T amp the OP is referring to. |
