| Room Layout and Acoustic Improvements on a Limited Budget @whart You need to control reflective surfaces...the fundamentals of your room, what position the speakers should be in given the equipment and room, where you are creating problems that you can solve by removing things or using common furnishin... | |
| Impedance and Sensitivity @ditusa Thanks, I have a lot to learn yet! | |
| Impedance and Sensitivity @ditusa I get the horn monos with an all horn speaker. I just worry that the amps would not drive the Forte's well given their 12 inch woofer and 15 inch passive radiator... Will have to give Quicksilver a call. | |
| Impedance and Sensitivity @atmasphere ...you might consider a passive volume control... Benjamin at Mojo Audio, who made my DAC (1.5 V), also suggested that a passive might be the way to go. I do have a Luminous Axiom passive that I can try. @ditusa I would go with Qu... | |
| Impedance and Sensitivity @atmasphere 26dB is a lot of gain in a preamp line stage these days. My CJ 17LS2 is probably twenty years old and has 26 dB gain with no switching to a lower gain. My CJ LP66S tube amp (50wpc) is also about twenty years old with 0.5 V input s... | |
| Impedance and Sensitivity Playing with Klipsch Forte iv's and Zu Soul Supremes right now. | |
| Best tube preamplifier for under $15k Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL is mentioned a lot in this thread. I would appreciate it if the owners could expound on why they like it. I own a Luminous Audio Axiom 2, a Don Sachs DS2, and a CJ 17LS2 and would really be interested in how the LTA so... | |
| Audio shops near Lafayette, Indiana? Plus 1 for Audio Solutions. Ovation is another place. You can hear Golden Ear, Klipsch, and Magnepan. They seem to like MacIntosh electronics. Audio Solutions seems to always have new B&W, Focal, Sonus, or similar running in different rooms... | |
| Conrad Johnson LP66s Problems Okay, the amp is back from Conrad Johnson and running beautifully. Talked with, I believe it was, Keith, who advised that I was using small tubes with too low a voltage. Not sure how to explain how this happened except to say operator error whil... | |
| Klipsch Speakers Hi All, FWIW, as an update, I've had my Forte iv's about nine months now and have been enjoying them with a First Watt F7. I recently retubed my CJ LP66S amp with Gold Lion 6992's and Electro Harmonix 6990's and reinserted it into my system. Bi... | |
| Monitors for 14 x 20 Room Thank you all for the suggestions. Really hard to narrow this down, especially with the WAF! | |
| RIP Christine McVie Wow. Gives me a feeling of emptiness. Rumours was released in '77, I married in '78 with no cares in the world, and in a flash forward, another icon of my generation has passed.... Be nice to someone today, you never know if it will be your las... | |
| When people upgrade from Thiel I had Thiel CS3.6's and then CS5i's and could never get a good soundstage and dynamics. Currently running Klipsch Forte iv's and Zu Audio Soul Sixes, both of which sound more live and dynamic to me. It is nice to not have to deal with heavy, hi... | |
| Klipsch Speakers I've had a pair of Forte iv's for about six months teamed with a Mojo Audio Evo DAC, PS Audio transport, Don Sachs pre, and First Watt F7. I do not think that they are bright with this setup. Klipsch speakers can provide a lot of dynamics and a "... | |
| Monitors for 14 x 20 Room Lots of good advice here. Thanks! Quite a few suggestions are about as large as Fritz speakers. Maybe, I need to just buy Fritz speakers and beg for forgiveness😊 @erik_squires What are sliced paper cones? Never heard of these before your po... |
