| Using tube preamp for a phono preamp Amen to the posters above and very astute advice. Any of the older CJ's[especially the premier series] and the counterpoint's,when operating to spec are in a whole higher league then the B&k. | |
| small room speakers Quadophile. I hear ya, I hope you didn't take that to heart..BUT at $6500.... they would be gone in a heart beat. | |
| Old Classic Receivers: A Mistake to Buy? Minty. A rather profound statement sir.... ya think? | |

| Refined 30-60 watt Tube amp A used pair Antique Sound labs 1009. Employs a pair of 845's at 60 watts/channel. | |
| Great Vintage Amps-which one for you? Hi Jkaway.Yes, A very nice sounding vintage amplifier even in stock form. I am certain Scott Frankland's work took it to a whole higher level. PS: RCA 5791's...must be a typo? I'm sure you meant to type 7591's. | |
| small room speakers Hey Quadphile. In my honest opinion....Chartwell's version of the LS3/5a was the better sounding example than all of the other 15 ohm itterations. I still cherish my rogers though.Mine are truly mint!Maybe you would like to trade? | |

| Do 1st Order XO's produce a smaller Dawgbyte. I do remember the original ESS Amt-1 from the mid 70's. I actually owned a pair for a brief period [3 or 4 months] and traded them in for the Dalquist DQ-10. I would hazard to guess the modern versions would surely be a substantial impro... | |
| Do 1st Order XO's produce a smaller Calantus... I concurr with your assessment of the MBL's. They through a huge stage act to be sure,but another design that requires giant sized amplification to energize. Now those Duevels are really intriuging... exotic wood options...with a real ... | |
| Do 1st Order XO's produce a smaller A very interesting thread here. Regarding the 360 degree dispersion speaker types....There is a gentlemen in Toronto Canada, that makes a modern version of the original Hegeman 1a. His name is Don Morrison and I believe the man now owns the patent... | |
