| Which 300B SET for SF Guarneri Homage? Hi Don, As a fellow owner of GH's, I have heard them with a number of different amps. IMHO, GH's don't really work well with Single ended low power amps. As you state, the GH's are 87db efficient, which is a bit of a tough deal for low power or fl... | |
| Tubelike SS Power amp Might want to consider some of the Jeff Rowland amps, like the model 8,9,10or 1.All are somewhat tube like in their presentation. | |
| The Hub: News, events, gossip - Sound by Singer to close Rx8man, and I are in agreement.Here is an interesting story that I heard about a few years ago at a 'high-end' appliance store. A disheveled man walked into the showroom and asked to speak to a salesperson. The salesperson came up to this man and ... | |
| The Hub: News, events, gossip - Sound by Singer to close MrTennis, what an interesting comment you say in #5..Try to avoid Andy.What a pathetic comment to have to make; Frankly, I would have thought the one person you would have been glad to see should have been Andy, and conversely the other way around... | |
| The Hub: News, events, gossip - Sound by Singer to close I have personally had no experience with Andy Singer.However, when you read all of the negative comments about him and his store, even if a small percentage are true, then it speaks volumes about his concern for the customer, or lack thereof.Many ... | |
| Is my room too small I have a dedicated room that is 10x11. In a room this size, I think you are forced to use a speaker that is small(ish) and that does not reproduce much bass below about 50hz. Trying to shoehorn a speaker that is too large for your room is probably... | |
| Cardas Golden Cross vs. Golden Hexlink 5C Rusvit, I own the Cardas Hexlink Golden 5C interconnect and owned the Golden Cross ic, I sold the Golden Cross and kept the Hexlink. IMHO, the Golden Cross is very bright and unnatural. The Hex Golden 5c is warm and a little slow, but it is a far ... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Milimetr, could you post the link to the review that you are referring towith the D28/2 information. | |
| Anyone using KT88's in D series ARC gear? Hi Esporma, I solved the barrier strip problem by using bi-wire pairs of Nordost Red Dawn. The Nordost factory terminated the amp end with a narrow spade that works well with the ARC. BTW, I still believe that these amps are a PHENOMBARGAIN at the... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Elviukai, I think that you may be confused regarding the tweeters that SF uses in its various products. SF has for many years had their various tweeters modified by the different manufacturers to SF's spec's. This scheme has been used by numerous ... | |
| Jeff Rowland 8T with Wilson Sasha w/p? Ebm, I discovered that one can get away with a smaller output tube amp if one has inefficient speakers. ( which is what it sounds like the Mini 2's are)and you have a small room. My GH's are also pretty inefficient, BUT my ARC with 60 watts/ch has... | |
| Jeff Rowland 8T with Wilson Sasha w/p? Ebm, I agree that the model 8 is a wonderful amp. Have you tried your Mini 2's with a tube amp? I think that a tube amp can give you a different 'presentation' if you will, that is very pleasing with speakers like the Minis. I love my 8 with my So... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Milimeter and Elviukai, it's true that SF did some minor changes to the GH's as time went by; I think mostly in the cabinet construction however.My pair are Anno2004, and were according to my dealer the last pair imported into the US, the Tweet do... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento To follow up my post, look here:http://www.hifisound.de/oxid/oxid.php/tpl//lang/1/cl/alist/cnid/eb642232681286cf0.79190334I think one can clearly see from the face of the driver that the tweet is the D330 Esotar and NOT the D28. | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento Milimetr, that's an interesting picture. For some reason my speakers don't have this sticker on the drivers; Today I took a flex mirror and looked at the tweet. Mine has nothing on it at all. Perhaps your picture is of a replacement driver that so... |
