| Tenor 75 Wi OTL A bit off topic, but can anyone imagine the heat put off by the Joule VZN-300 Destiny monoblocks w/ sixteen 6C33C-B's a channel?Either your room would have to be cavernous, nonstop AC running, or you place the monos in your fireplace with a fan in... | |
| Have 300b MB want a killer pair of Hi-Eff speakers I don't know if this still holds true, but back in March Renmeister said he had"an $8k budget for speakers give or take a thousand". But, he has an interesting criterion in that ...speaker that will do justice down to 38hz (AND) must work 5+ feet ... | |
| Have 300b MB want a killer pair of Hi-Eff speakers Looking to fill a 12'X25' room with a speaker that will do justice down to 38hz. minus what dB? How big? and how much money do you have to spend?Because that is going to take a huge cabinet and/or horn to accomplish with any meaning output. | |
| Tenor 75 Wi OTL 05-27-11: Charles1dadDarkmoebius,If there`s one thing thats been demostrated often in high end audio, higher cost does`nt mean better sound. Of course, I was being slightly sarcastic with my remark.With the very efficient Zu speakers the additiona... | |
| Tenor 75 Wi OTL 05-26-11: GloryThe Tenor is mind boggling. Far above my AS S30 in every area. Bass has texture and vocals are 3D and real sounding. Duke Ellington's band sounds so natural and organic in the brass section. That is an area I never heard sound so ri... | |
| Amp for Vandersteens 2ce sig 2's Vandersteens and Audio Research have long been a successful pairing, especially models of that vintage. I personally feel Vandy's need to power/current to strut their stuff. A great combination would be a used ARC 100.2 ss amp, one of the company'... | |
| Speakers under $3-4,000? 05-04-11 - Climbmadone Have MC2500, need some speakers and don't have an unlimited budget. Used of course. Have a big sub I can use if necessary. If you want usable suggestions, please supply us with a description of the rest of your system, espec... | |
| Need Recommendations for SS amp for 2 ohm load 05-03-11: GeraldedisonI once had the old Innersound ESL amp, and I felt it was rather bright and had more of the SS edge for my taste.....Roger did offer me a trial period to take the analogue crossover if I change my mind. That is the great thing... | |
| Need Recommendations for SS amp for 2 ohm load Why not use Roger Sander's own ESL amps specifically designed to drive difficult electrostatic loads? This amplifier will deliver more than 2000 volt-amps per channel into an ESL, and when driving magnetic speakers, the ESL amplifier will deliver ... | |
| used SET amp under $1500 suggestion 05-01-11: ViridianCharles and Dark there's more to DHT land than 45, 2A3 and 300B. Give the 46 a try and if you can really live with low, low power, the 71A is unparalleled, and of course, the 6B4G is a nice DHT as well, more or less, a 6V 2A3. Al... | |
| used SET amp under $1500 suggestion 05-01-11: ViridianPersonally, I would skip the pentodes and tetrodes hooked up as triodes and move right to directly heated triodes. IMHO, this is where the magic lives. The Elekit 2A3 is a good example: While I agree with you 100% for experienced... | |
| used SET amp under $1500 suggestion This is just my opinion, but if you are going to go the SET route - do it right. Don't dip a toe half in, then declare it's not for you without truly giving it a try.What does that mean? SET "musical presentation" is significantly different from o... | |
| Denon DL-103R cartridge update 04-09-11: MofimadnessI have (2) Denon DL103D's and I am going to send them to SoundSmith for a retip and then onto Zu to have them potted and put into one of their bodies... I also have a pristine 103D. It would be interesting to hear about a comp... | |
| 801A Tube Amp for Horn Loaded Speakers Have you looked into Thomas Mayer's 801A amps? | |
| Nearfield Acoustics Pipedreams Thanks Rkochies, I was leaning that way simply because of the amp demands that larger Apogees place on a system. Not to mention, w/ two 70lb playful dogs, the danger of a toy or one of them damaging a panel is fairly high. |
