| Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup @jijoh123 do you have any local chapter audio folks around you within an hour or so from your city, town? I ask because I've taken a few of my former amps over to other people's houses and try them, to help them get an idea on their speakers in t... | |
| Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup Thanks @paradisecom I had an SLI-80 Signature with upgrades five years ago, reluctantly sold it to try some different SET amps, and a pair of ultralinear monoblock amps with more power with my speakers. Similar to the OP @jijoh123 I am reconside... | |
| Other High End Audio Forums @ghdprentice are you paying the membership fee on AA now? I was a long time member there, then specialized sub-forums came for vendors and then they started charging as a pay-site. Membership shrunk a lot, a small list of the same regulars start... | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. @elliottbnewcombjr yeah that is the opposite direction, the Sanders 10E site shows they like to pair them up with a powerhouse 500w-900w Magtec Class AB amplifier. Power (Stereo Version) 500 watts continuous per channel into an 8... | |
| Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup "@paradisecom You can also look at the Conrad Johnson CAV45 S2 or a used McIntosh MA2275 for other options." By chance did you have a chance to try and compare either of these to your former Cary SLI-80 - If so, what did you like more about ... | |
| MusicDirect,, Good to know, I've always enjoyed looking over their catalogue and the'yve been fair in the past about a reasonable return policy. Have bought some new and formerly returned items from them too as a result of their practice. Will be on the lookou... | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. Hey @mesch is there anything else about the next pair of speakers you'd like to try or venture into that you've not tried prior? i.e. baffle size, driver configuration, etc. For example one of our members here has demoed (narrow baffle) small b... | |
| What is Moving From Solid State to Quicksilver Mid Monos Like? @fastcat95 "...(.75" tweeter, and dual V.C. 6.5" bass mids). 89 dB sensitivity; impedance probably drops to 4-6 ohms" "...what do you think???" My friend has a similar speaker configuration and spec, slightly more sensitive than yours, simil... | |
| What is Moving From Solid State to Quicksilver Mid Monos Like? Good to know @yogiboy and thanks for responding. I'm thinking most of Mike's QS amps seem to respond and sound, dare I say, more musical with higher impedance speakers, 8ohm and above. | |
| What is Moving From Solid State to Quicksilver Mid Monos Like? @yogiboy which 83db speakers were you using with Mid-Monos? Are they 4 or 8ohm? At my 55year-in-business local dealer who sells AudioNote and Quicksilver, I've also heard low power 10w amps playing 83db speakers there which are 8-ohm. Sure the a... | |
| What is Moving From Solid State to Quicksilver Mid Monos Like? @fastcat95 ..." Can anyone out there who has made a move from good SS equipment to the mid monos tell me what they gained that made them happier with the sound?"... Some of what you might "gain" or even "miss" may also have a direct depende... | |
| Help with Krell KSA 50-S versus Krell KSA 200-S In a similar situation, on a secondary system setup - my Pass/Forte' amp was configured in two ways, either Class A/B 180w or full Class A 50w, constant on. While all of my former amps were Class A/B 200w SS, and used them to drive my former Tot... | |
| Shrink Totem 1's? I had Totem Model One Signatures, Center, and the standard Model Ones for rear channel with alloy tweeters vs soft domes, and used them for a decade. They are not good for this. They are designed for 2ch audio, inefficient, and dont radiate as we... | |
| Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup @jijoh123 I recalled this same recurring question about "which amplifier" to use with versions of the Tekton Moab in 2020. Impedance was the overarching concern. Link is below for your reference. The Moab owner determined his Moab speakers were ... | |
| Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup @dekay I stopped in reply, restarted, and missed your prior post, only saw the MA352 post above yours. Good to know - for crying out loud. We read ya, LOL :) ------------------- @jijoh123 Long story, have a 50yr audiophile buddy who’s been thro... |
