| What speaker cables for vintage equipment Thanks so far for the suggestions. Cutting off the existing spades is not an option, I need the cables for another amp that works well with these.Does anyone know of a company that makes a spade or ? that will fit thebarrier strips and that will a... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage and Single Ended Triod Cary 805 AE's will probably be a GREAT match for the GH's. Please post your findings once you have a chance to hear them. | |
| Power requirements for Acoustat 2+2s I used to own Acoustat 3's with the c mods and drove them fine with a Hafler 220, which if I remember was 100 watts per channel. The Hafler wasn't a great amp IMHO but it drove the stats to any level I desired. | |
| Bi amping using ss amp and tube amp.. Hi Rodman99999 and Ngjockey. Thanks for your replies; this is what I was wandering about. Given a x-over is required,I probably will simply use the tube amp as a stand alone and the ss as the same for now. | |
| Anyone using KT88's in D series ARC gear? Hi Lostbears and Rrog, Thanks for the info. I think it is wise not to modify the amp after what you have said. I too believe the amp is truly a classic and I agree with what you are saying.I may send it to ARC for the repairs, although they are ve... | |
| Anyone using KT88's in D series ARC gear? Hi Lostbears, Thanks for the input. I think the two large Caps may need replacement as they are all original. The speaker strips seem designed for bare wire or? Anyhow, like you say they are a real problem. I will probably have someone replace tho... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage and Single Ended Triod Well guys, i have decided to try a vintage ARC D-70 with the GH's.Not sure on how this combo will play out, but will soon find out.Will also try a 300B amp as well, if I can get my hands on one. | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage and Single Ended Triod Poorguy, do you have any idea how efficient the B&W S805 is?The Sonus Faber GH's are pretty inefficient, on the order of 84- 86db I believe.I would suspect that any speaker below 89db efficiency may not be a very good match for low powered sin... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage and Single Ended Triod I wander if anyone else has any experience driving relatively inefficient speakers with low powered 300B amps? Thoughts? | |
| What cables to replace Highwire's with? Clio09, While I totally agree with you, I doubt any audio writer for any of the well known audio mags would agree with you. You don't prescribe to theiropinions? ..:0) | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage and Single Ended Triod Hi Onemug, I see what you are saying about the level required for the 10th ofa watt. However, I am not so sure that on bass transients etc. that the speakerdoesn't draw more juice ( Possibly a lot more). Currently, I use a 250 watt/ch amp and amaz... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage and Single Ended Triod Onemug, please tell us what amps you are referring to when you say 'a couple of300 b SET's'?Are you using one 300b amp per channel? Not sure what you mean.In my very small room, I listen at low volume levels generally anyway, somaybe a 300b might ... | |
| What cables to replace Highwire's with? Thanks for the Skywire suggestion. I think that they may be a little toolike what I already have. I would like to see if there are any cables that aretruly a BIG step-up from the Highwire's. Thinking maybe Kubala'sor Siltech or? Haven't heard thes... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage and Single Ended Triod Hi Rchan,I would be interested in the Jadis 300b amps and probablythe Air Tight 845's ( single ended but not 300B's) and the Air Tight 300's.Like you say the Wavac's and the Cary's are contenders as well. BUT, likeI said, I doubt any of them would... | |
| Speakers this way, or that, with cathedral ceiling Hodu, I am currently using a room that is very small (10X11) and with avault ceiling going up to 15ft. The speakers sound best firing towards the high point of the room. I agree with the other posters who say that otherwiseyou would be creating a ... |
