| Please recommend some active speakers I owned the Active 20's and they rock (they are a little bit forward, but extremely clean). Try to get a Series II as the first version would have a problem with not shutting off the amps when it doesn't detect any music. | |
| VTL 450 or Parasound JC-1 I would agree with Sdcampbell suggestion time for a speaker upgrade..Another option...How about upgrading to the Vandy 4's with the built in powered sub and get a lower powered tube amp that is triode switchable and get the best of both worlds...I... | |
| Tube Research GT-100, GT-200, Lamm 1.2 for 4 ohm I keep trying other amps but nothing I've heard has outdone my Lamm M1.1s... on my Wilson Watt Puppy 7's which are a 4ohm load with a min of 3.6ohm. and this is the strongest 100watts of class A magic. There is a reason this combo has won some of ... | |
| What's The Best Blooming Tube Amp? ARC Classic 60 - Very warm and wonderful on vocal! lacking bass control (then again I was trying to drive 4ohm 84dB Magnepan IIIa's) | |
| Powercord to tame brightness and add musicality Consider a Tube Preamp to add that magic back into the equation, I don't believe a powercord or even power conditioning can relax Krell control (and the brightness I have found in my past listening experiences) A good balanced conditioner would ad... | |

| Review: Pass Labs X350.5 Amplifier Thanks for the review (the comparison to the original Alpha Series was key)! Awesome system synergy! The Placette Active is an amazingly overlooked component that is OUSTANDING! Wish I had the large room for 20.1's.. it was a hard decision before ... | |

| Upgrade in five channel amplifier I have a Sunfire 5 channel 225 watts on my audio system, and I replaced an EAD Powermaster 2000 to reduce the heat output and the rack requirements for that 125lb amp. The Sunfire amps don't do anything wrong with the way they sound (No major sins... | |
| Naim Cd Players I hastily stated "Servicing should be a problem", when I meant to post "servicing should NOT be a problem" they have good dealer support! Sorry for the confusion. | |
| Inverting and or non inverting amp? If you can't tell the difference in sound use a CD with vocals , to hear the difference. If you still can't your speakers aren't setup to image correctly. There are lots of threads on speaker setup to help you out. Also the bass will be kinda suck... | |
