| Looking to upgrade From my Odyssey Mono extremes His AV123 LS-6 speakers are ~90dB/8ohm, with vertical arrays of seven 6.5" woofers, so they are easy to drive. I can understand wanting extra power for dynamic headroom, but 200wpc is a little overkill. Actually, a lot of overkill.So, there are pl... | |
| Looking to upgrade From my Odyssey Mono extremes 10-22-09: Jeffb28451If by "glass ceiling", you mean you're going to have to go into seriously diminishing returns, you're right. Actually, I think the "Glass Ceiling" is the top upgrade/mod option that Klaus offers for the Odyssey Extremes. It's n... | |
| Newbie - Which USED Amp & Preamp for under $2500 I don't have space to place them out 2-3 feet from a wall Maybe some cornerhorns like classic Klipsch? They are big and rock hard. But get tucked into corners so they are out of the way. The only problem is that you would probably have to find so... | |
| Hooking up two Topaz Isolation trans. in series? Cford, I read on a post at audiogone were someone said they hooked two of these in series. I too was wondering about how the current would be increases by this as only so much current could go through the first topaz. Usually that is done for gre... | |
| Newbie - Which USED Amp & Preamp for under $2500 Mmrump, I actually owned the B&W 601 s2 about 5-7 years ago. They were a great value buy. A little shy in the lower mids & bass(as nearly all affordable small monitors are), a tad hard in the high freqs for my taste (I prefer soft dome twe... | |

| KT88 or EL34 based tube amp for Titus ES Srmax,If you are talking about about a runaway output tube, I had that happen with an Audion Sterling ETSE integrated EL34 tube and there was never any danger of damage to my speakers. Most well-built amps have a resistor or thermister, etc. to pr... | |
| KT88 or EL34 based tube amp for Titus ES If I could toss a seemingly odd suggestion, but it might be worth checking out the 18wpc Almarro A318B Single-Ended/Class A integrated that uses 6c33c output tubes. It is a phenomenal amp with power, tonal purity, and silken highs. It seriously eq... | |
| Best tube amp under 3000$? The 6Moons review states that these speakers were designed with low-power 300B SET amps in mind.(not that more power is ever a bad thing...)But, if more is needed, then quality low to moderate power PP tube amps(15-50wpc) should probably be more t... | |
| Best tube amp under 3000$? Weren't the Hyperions designed to work with 300B SET amp power levels?Coincident MP 300B Canary audio CA-308 (use the extra $500 to buy 300B tubes)Need more power? Canary CA 301 mk 2 ($2k)Manley Lab Neo-Classic SE/PP 300b mono's | |
| Why so few high end line arrays? Tbg,I've been researching line arrays for the last couple of weeks, but that only assures I have way more questions than answers or experience...But, the website which you refer seems to be only concerned with is only concerned with farfield sound... | |
| Why so few high end line arrays? 09-11-09: TbgIf you ever look at the frequency response of line arrays, you will see what looks like a comb. Each driver interferes with the others at a regular interval throughout the frequency range.Selah Audio Alexandrite - on-access Freq Respo... | |
| Next step: tube pre or tube power amp? Stevecuss, I owned the Rotel 980BX amp & RC990BX preamp a long while back w/ B&W speakers for a short time. Rotel delivers a lot for the money, but their gear is extremely lean compared to other manufacturers(B&W's didn't help). I just... | |
| Nice used tube amp under $1000 used In the under $1k range, you will likely have to go with older, classic, amps to get quality and dependability. But, there are a lot great older amps.Cary definitely lays the midrange on thick and velvety. There's a 35wpc SLA-70 Sig for sale at $75... | |
| Nice used tube amp under $1000 used Kind of a hard question to answer w/o knowing the the manufacturer & model, or at least efficency & impedence curve, of your speakers. Also would help to know what type of music you listen to, how large your listening room, and how loud yo... |
