| Not manufactured any more. [@cycles2] @decooney Thanks for all the pics of the ESS speakers. I never realized they made so many models. I used to own the AMT-1B’s which I believe was basically an AMT-1A but added a rear facing 12" passive radiator. A friend of mine also ow... | |
| Spatial X5 speakers Same type questions as @hilde45 to Spatial owners or those doing demos. SS: Why are some of the Spatial owners here feeling compelled to run big 150w Pass Labs and big 300w PSA BHK solid state amps with these 97db speakers? TUBE: How about some ... | |
| Tube Preamp with Solid State Amp? Yes. It’s a great appetizer. Gets you there part of the way in hybrid fashion if you love the sound of tubes. For me, it was not quite the full coarse meal. While I enjoyed running my 6SN7 triode based preamplifier with my class A/AB solid state ... | |
| Ascend Acoustics Sierra Towers with tube or lower watt amps A few good responses from this A’gon Nov ’21 thread, same related Ascend Tower with the larger RAAL tweeter.

| Spatial X5 speakers @jaymark by chance did you happen to see the post on AC about Don Sachs, tube amplification, and talk about 100+ hours of burn in on the X5s? Not just the woofer drivers, but AMTs will change too with time https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?top... | |

| Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story? OR pick up a low cost second-hand Class-D or smaller SS A/B amp for 3 months out of the year. Keep the PL for cooler darker months when you are inside listening anyhow. Read up on summer amps. More than a few do this in order to keep their big ... | |
