| What To Replace A Pair Of Lamm Ml2 Monoblocks With? Need More Power Jadis JA80Mk2 or JA200Mk2 would be a good match to Vandy 5's. | |
| Magnapan Model MG 1 compare to model ...MG 1 " IMPROVED" I have very fond memories of when I owned the Maggie MG1 improved back in the day. I replaced them with Acoustat 3's...which while being more expensive, larger and all electrostatic...really were not as great sounding! If I remember correctly, and... | |
| KT 170 My amps use KT150's...the new KT170's look interesting. Problem is they are so wide that I doubt I can fit them in the space allotted to the tubes on my amps...which I suspect will be a common problem with these new tubes for a lot of folks! | |
| REL subs with Acoustat 1+1s? REL has a somewhat unique stance, they believe ( as do I) that taking the signal off the amp terminals and not off the preamp allows the subwoofer to see exactly the same signal as the main speakers. This is where I think their subs are able to so... | |
| Do Mono Block amps provide better sound ?? I run both a stereo amp and mono blocks, not at the same time. The stereo amp is excellent and offers the following advantages...a single amp stand, a single power cord and the ability to hook up one subwoofer with no issues. It also takes up less... | |
| REL subs with Acoustat 1+1s? @audiorusty Thanks, that makes sense. I am not sure why you would want to route the signal through the sub x-over and then to the mains vs. off the amp terminals to the sub, and thereby not impacting the main speaker signal...to the Acoustat 1+1’s... | |
| REL subs with Acoustat 1+1s? @james633 Please explain this..the REL will not limit the signal to the mains. Just the sub???? What are you talking about? If you buy a REL, it comes with the ability to adjust the x-over point. | |
| REL subs with Acoustat 1+1s? Lot of folk have not heard the new REL subs. The new models are able to keep up with almost all speakers, including stats. The smaller models are IME even better than the larger models, but all will work well with 1+1's. Using the high level conne... | |
| MOBILE FIDELITY ONE STEP VINYL Question is whether 'Better Records' really are better records. To their ears maybe, but does that apply to your ears? One thing is certain, you will pay dearly to find out. Presumably they have a liberal return policy?? If not, then i would keep ... | |
| REL subs with Acoustat 1+1s? REL subs use a high level connection at your amp and take the signal off the amp terminal. That is then adjusted at the sub with the x-over on the sub amp controls. You do have the option of using a lo level signal, but the preferred method is the... | |
| Best cost no object tube phono Lagonda, your are lucky that your above post has not been 'sanitized'...i certainly believe it should be. Both Raul and I have the same opinion -- you clearly have a high level of frustration, distress and anger...that doesn't belong here. | |
| Wilson Alexx V @geof3 Indeed with the right set up i have heard big Wilsons sound very good in less than enormous rooms. Although like any large speakers, they will still limit you to the room size, albeit less than a lot of other very large systems. | |
| Wilson Alexx V @rauliruegas Another thing to add to your post, would be to attempt to listen in the room that the speaker is actually going to be placed in. IME the room makes such a huge difference, that anyone who is contemplating buyer a speaker at these pri... | |
| Best stands so baby doesn't knock speaker over The other day, i was reaching for an album in my record storage and as I was moving back, momentarily lost my balance and shoved up against my left speaker! This nearly resulted in the speaker falling off the stand and doing God knows how much dam... | |
| Wilson Alexx V @geof3 The new Alexx V is going to be a real contender, because the old model Alexx was a serious step up over the likes of the Alex 2 and XLF, IME. I would think it will need a big room as well, although MF seems to be pleased with the old model ... |
