| Krell FPB 300cx vs Pass X250.5 Does anyone have anything new to add on this comparison?Also, I am curious as to the Pass's ability to deliver current (amperage) too.I must admit that I do not understand how manufacturers come up with this number for their spec sheets.- Pass say... | |
| Legacy 20/20 and Tubes I have tried several very well regarded speakers, and listened to tons in different stores. I even listened to some amazing speakers that had something like 60 tweeters and 30 mids or something crazy like that. I cannot remember who made them but ... | |
| Legacy 20/20 and Tubes BTW-adding "enjoy what you like" after such a high volume of negative written words is a poor cop-out disclaimer. | |
| Legacy 20/20 and Tubes I agree with Chadnliz as well as other happy owners.Frankly I find it peculiar as well as disappointing that Sean has spent so much time and effort bashing Legacy. It is a shame that we are not able to have any sort of discussion on Legacy without... | |
| Legacy 20/20 and Tubes I agree with Nickcal. My system with the Focus 20/20 is very sensitive to any changes in gear and cables. And with all SS pieces, I have an incredibly realistic musical presentation with a high, wide, and deep soundstage. They thrive on current an... | |
| Theta Dreadnaught as a two channel amp I am not getting rid of the Dread I anytime soon. The mids are too sweet. My mains have two 12" bass drivers plus a 12" mid-bass driver, but they need external power. The bottom end is there, I just need an amp to bring it out. I have heard what y... | |
| Theta Dreadnaught as a two channel amp Bigtee, I am using the Dreadnaught I, how much more bottom end do you think the Dread II would deliver? | |
| Has anyone tried out new Mapleshade speaker wires They seem to be somewhat similar to the Speltz Anti-cables...at least from the info provided on the website. However, the Mapleshade wire is silver plated copper. For some reason I was under the impression that plating copper with silver was for o... | |
| Theta Dreadnaught as a two channel amp Bigtee, yes perhaps I shouldn't draw conclusions on matters of which I know little about. And also yes, the dread's midrange was super pure and liquid. The amp seems to not struggle with the sound at all, it sort of emerged, but also it was as if ... | |
| Theta Dreadnaught as a two channel amp Michael,What other amps have you tried? And, are your speakers hard to drive?My speakers [Legacy Focus 20/20] are very efficient, but demand a lot of current. Nominal rating is 4 ohms, but they dip below 2 ohms.The Dreadnaught I is incredible soun... | |
| Theta Dreadnaught as a two channel amp I recently bought a Dreadnaught I three channel here on AgoN. Although I originally wanted it for all my surrounds and center, I am going to try to demo some nice big high-end two channel amps to compare. Build quality seems top notch, and it woul... | |
| Processor hunt....does this animal exist?? I currently use the Krell HTS 7.1. Not a popular piece here at AudiogoN, but I tried a MX119 and returned it. It was not even close. I was very disappointed because the "touch/feel" of the McIntosh gear is so much nicer than the industrial look an... | |
| Has anyone tried out new Mapleshade speaker wires I want to bump this back onto the screen since I too am interested in Mapleshade's speaker cables. In particular, I am wondering about their Golden Parallel for my rears since they will need to be 45-50 feet long. | |
| Very long cable run question I have discovered that my cables are not the culprit. It is something else for sure.Nevertheless, I'd like to hear what people are using for very long runs to the rear speakers. I am looking at about 45-50 feet. | |
| Very long cable run question OzFly, They are definitely not blown, but your suggestion of moving the speakers closer for a test is so simple and obvious, I am embarrassed that I didn't think of it myself.Thanks for the tip on the Canare Tgrisham. I will keep it in mind once I... |
