| What is wrong with a sub? I'm too new and inexperienced to take a side. But as I posted - I like tube amps. I like how they sound. As such at reasonable price range tube amps there are no ribbon speakers I can use. The subs having their own amps move the air fine. I a... | |
| What is wrong with a sub? @mkgus, thanks for that. My one REL i7 I rarely hear. Sometimes I do mess with the volume on it and pump it up beyond the music levels, but normally just because I want to wake everyone up. Got me thinking if 2 and 4 are better, is there any re... | |
| What is wrong with a sub? @mcreyn - that was a bit Greek to me. What I have now:300B SET (CAD-300SEI) with Watkins Gen 4 speakers on each side of my desk 8" high stands, REL i7(? small one) sub under desk to my left. The sub hooks to the amp speaker posts. I'm pretty sat... | |
| What is wrong with a sub? The comments seem to be supporting what I thought.Taking this to the $2,000-$25,000 speaker range for music that has lower bass in it, for the same about of cash...Equivalent or better sound will likely come at a lower cost with speakers and a sub... | |
| What is wrong with a sub? @sgordon1 thanks for the support. To answer the first part, I do not have the time, or the money to test every combo. In cases where I do have the money, I’d like to know what others think hoping to put it all together and do it right. I have a se... | |
| I lied to my wife about the price of Stax 009S headphone I kept the information from my wife on my modest Cary SET an integrated tube amp ~$5K. She thinks it looks real cool and wants me to buy one for the living room and two more for the other house. She didn't ask the cost. Then, she makes the big ... | |

| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. If you are not going to move, the electrostatic Martin Logans have a small and musical sweet spot.I have some Watkins Generation Four. They work great in a small space. I bought them on trial planning to return them. I immediately knew that was... | |
| 2000-2500 USD budget for an integrated amplifier. Do amplifiers sound the same? :) Last month I went to pickup speakers I bought. We tried 3 sets of speakers on 3 maps (9 permutations).Two tube amps, 1 SS.There was a clear difference in each one. Each speaker had a fav amp. | |
| Magnepan for Background Listening @elizabeth How much tube power to drive a Magnepan 20.7 45dB to 80dB? | |
| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? I don't think "liking" or monetary status has much to do with it.
