| HELP Amp for Revel M20? Mark Levinson monoblocks are about what you need. Tons of clean tight power. On a budget, find something with at least 300 wpc. I love Mac but think it's too soft for these. | |
| advice on replacing a sub woofer Get it fixed? Contact athena.Little yamahas and energys are great replacements. | |
| Electro-Voice Ev-6 They might look cool but, many newer bookshelf speakers will sound better. No highs above 12-15khz and not much speed-IN MY OPINION. | |
| ARC LS22 and pre tubes You need the manual or schematics usually. AR will help if you call them. You need a pair of tubes for the gain stage (Most likely the pair closest to the outputs) and a pair for each input. The sockets should be labeled in some way such as v1, v2... | |
| Can I Use One Channel Of A Stereo Power Amp? A mac 7106 is 100 wpc into 6 channels or bridged to 375 watts for 3 channels. Beat that? Cost is around $1250-$1500. | |
| ARC LS22 and pre tubes Are you sure all 8 are bad? Usually you only use 1 main pair and 1 or 2 inputs? Save you a few tubes that way. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers? I love triumphs but sorry Celtic66, they are 2 way speakers. I'm looking at mine right now. Originally, Coincident had played with a concentric/coax single driver way before the triumph. I also have Conquests and Mini Triumphs. If you don't need m... | |
| $1200... What would you buy? Uru975 has some nice ideas. However, I wouldn't go cheaper to start. Buy something like a Sota with an ok arm and a decent cartridge. The table can last forever. If you really like it, you can always move up to a nicer arm or nicer cartridge. With... | |
| Cheap receiver + amp vs Expensive receiver Can I make a comment on "prosumer". I totally disagree. Consumer gear like HK gives you as many features as possible for the buck. Pro gear like QSC gives you a bulletproof design and reliability for the buck. Both have made huge compromises to ge... | |
| Newsed int amp - Creek, Music Hall, Linn? Music Hall Mambo: It's class A which should sound a bit warmer than the 25.2Have you considered tubes or a hybrid? | |
| Amplifier Power Ratings & Speaker Sensitivity Power isn't everything. 30 watts from a Pass Labs may be sound louder than 60 watts from a cheap yamaha receiver. It's quality vs quantity.Keep in mind that your 80 watts will be hard to beat without going to a massive amp. 80 watts to 160 will on... | |
| Audible illusions Modulus 3A or Klyne 6L I despise dual volume controls... | |
| Cheap receiver + amp vs Expensive receiver To keep it simple: A $400 receiver with a sunfire amp will not be anywhere nearly as good as a sunfire pre/pro with the same amp. Better DAC's, better video processing, better crossover systems, better binding posts, bigger power supply, nicer rem... | |
| What is tube rolling? check out sonicfrontiers.com Go to the anthem side of the site and search for "A Taste of Tubes". It will teach you a lot of basics. | |
| difficulty finding CD player match for Magneplanar I don't get it? CD players don't have the power, "Power amps" do. A 60wpc older Adcom was never a good match for those speakers. Newer cd players should sound better, maybe just a little less gain than you are used to.In my opinion, go look at som... |
