| What vintage speaker might you use today Douglas_Schroeder And it sounds like it's coming from an orchestra pit, the speaker is so lowered. If you do not like the balcony presentation all you have to do is put a 2 x 4 piece of wood under the rear leg. It will raise the presentation - as... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Banquo363 I conjecture that the cause is the lack of rigidity at the contact point between the base and the two levelng screws. This holds especially for arms that have had their base abused by owners who overtighten the leveling screws and leave ... | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today AlmargBut as might be expected given that its design pre-dates the introduction of solid state amps, it is considered to be a tube friendly speaker, and tubes are my preference when it comes to power amplification. yeah, the design predates moi, b... | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today Great thread - a couple comments from members stand out to me. Have me intrigued... AlmargI’ll say therefore that the only speakers from prior to ca. 1980 that come to mind as some that I might want to use would be the Quad ESL-57 (of course)@Al... | |
| What Sensitivity with Tube Components? Perhaps I will try a true bi-wire set up with the switch set to low. Worth a try.Hi wcc10 according to yamaha amp manual this is what has to happen to test that feature setting. Even Yamaha recognizes different speaker impedance's and it is the... | |
| What Sensitivity with Tube Components? It is unfortunate that today you can spend $2,000.00 on speakers and not be satisfied. Sure, in the total these are inexpensive speakers and maybe I expect too much?wcc010 - imo - Those are not inexpensive speakers. And they definitely will not r... | |
| What Sensitivity with Tube Components? briefly looked at the manual. So you are using pure direct mode, cd direct amp ?When I said the 4ohm setting earlier I was implying for the tube amp. but this is an interesting amp. I have not tried this setting in the "Low" (4 ohm) setting but... | |
| What Sensitivity with Tube Components? Those speakers are extra hard to drive - inefficient - due to the small box and B&W trying to make more bass with it. B&W Manual 88dB spl (2.83V, 1m) its not a straight 88db spl (1.00v, 1m) comparison. So they are actually worse. Do the... | |

| What Sensitivity with Tube Components? I've been told that my 89db (sensitivity) B&W speakers will not work all that well with tubes and that at best, speakers should have at least a 90-91db sensitivity to used with tubes. wcc10 - curious to know where you heard something like tha... | |

| B&W 'New' 800 Series Lastly, specifications and frequency plots tell you nothing about how they sound..same goes for other gear.Dave - If you add "in your room" after the word sound. I agreeOtherwise specs and frequency plots tell you the story from the manufacturers... | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series @mmeysarosh good info in your post. When u say. While I’m not really enamored by looks so much, this speakers measured performance and positive press are impressive. While certainly not inexpensive, their performance levels seem to be in line to t... | |
