| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? I'm pretty sure a single 15-inch SW will give me what I want. But being retired, cost is a consideration. In my smallish (12 X 13) room, I could use the tube SVS as a plant stand and it doesn't take up much room (as well as being affordable). Than... | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? I'm totally happy with what my single B&W sub is doing. I only wish it would go lower. Technically, it is producing sound in the lower, 20-ish, frequencies but probably down 5db or more. Its amp+cone just can't pump out the gusto. The 200 watt... | |
| Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best? Interesting. Any more opinions? | |
| have you ever bought stereo without listening first Never heard but they have a sterling reputation. You have to look at the design features (usually stated in reviews or maker’s website). The big elements with amps are: Class of operation e.g. Class-A, class-AB, class-d, etc.. Each class has posit... | |
| 6H30 tubes vs the others The military grade (DR NOS) 6H30 is a truly great tube. These were manufactured pre Y2K (year 2000) and are scarce and very expensive ($200 - $300 each). That said, the quality of current production is mediocre (sound and durability). There is a l... | |

| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music My thoughts: 1. The speakers can sound "punchier" at the dealer because they usually crank-them-up. Since a typical Magnolia room is larger than a normal home room, they can play a lot louder without overloading the room. Being placed close to the... | |
| ARC LS27 with 6H30P-DR tubes It's funny because the magazines at the time (10-15 years ago) said that Victor (owner of BAT at the time) had bought up all remaining stock of the DR tubes. Victor is from Russia and probably had connections there. Now, magically, there are more ... | |
| ARC LS27 with 6H30P-DR tubes I purchased some DR tubes from BAT ($300/ea) and, yes, they made a huge difference in my VK-300SE integrated. Tried to buy more but they were sold out. Mine were vintage 1992. What does it say on the tube base of yours? Would like to know where yo... | |

| Advice on amplifier and B&W speaker pairing I know you don't want this advice but... To get full pleasure from the magnificent B&Ws, Get monoblocks. | |
| "Odd" looking 845 tube The "CCCP" is used by our Rusky friends (remember seeing it on their fighter planes, etc.). That's all I've got. | |
| The System Percentages Thread This is embarrassing but I was referring to the post of three_easy_payments. Should have specified. My bad! |
