| Best Value Line Stage Tube Preamps? Used Croft Acoustics preamps typically go pretty cheaply, good value, great sound. I find them very good, and even like their rather spartan, utility looks. By the way, new, Gene Rubin is your man now for all Croft, and I believe he can order abou... | |
| Square living room--12x12 Ohm Walsh 2’s are made to be placed around a foot or so off the wall, out in open space, they can sound okay, but certainly not the best or as intended. Probably the best thing you can do is simply experiment, see what works and sounds best for yo... | |
| ... Anyone familiar with the Neat Iota Alpha floorstander... I would second bar’s comments above. Great little speaker. Sounds/plays much bigger than its tiny proportions. I also owned the Larsen 4 that was also mentioned above for over five years. Another great speaker worth a listen, might sound odd at fi... | |
| Ohm MicroWalsh Short speakers I would venture to say, for the same foot print as a short on stands, and for the similar money, the Micro Walsh Tall would be an all around better choice. Obviously I don’t know your total requirements, or even maybe it is a visual thing, just my... | |
| What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why? I would pretty much have to say that I have had enormous fun from just about every single pair of speakers that I have had, regardless of price or make. It should be fun! If one isn't getting some fun out of it, time to pack it up and be done. I t... | |
| Cable choices for Cairn, Naim & Vandersteen Maybe check out Mogami right here on the Gon. Very reasonable and will work quite well with what you have. | |
| Is anyone thinking about building Walsh drivers? Jerry, maybe you should try a couple sets of Madonna’s cone bras, never know, they might just work quite incredibly as Omni cones! Trust all is well with you down south! | |
| any Rethm owners out there? One of the distributors for Rethm has run the Bhaava with The German made Linnenberg Allegro mono amplifiers with great success. I believe even Jacob George commented on them at the show, saying he felt like they were one of the best sounding SS a... | |
| Good match for Spectral DMC-20 and DMA-180 Wilson Sasha, Watt/Puppies, have heard them both with Spectral, liked it. You may not though! You have to make a good shortlist and get out and here them, preferably with as much of your own gear as possible. Recommending speakers or almost anythi... | |
| Levinson 5805 Keep us all posted as you get info. It sucks, but things do happen like this from time to time, hopefully, ML will take good care of you, and sounds like your dealer is too, which is a huge benefit. Nice integrated for sure! | |
| Ohm Super Sound Cylinder SSC-4900 initial thoughts kinda review Jerry, well put! I agree. Happy New Year too! | |
| connecting B&W 683s1 to amp? help please? Or some paper clips straightened out will do in a pinch if long enough.... | |
| Wilson Audio for a 1600 sq ft space First off, congrats for having the means to be able to consider Wilson’s or the likes to fill such a space! My biggest recommendation is this, seek out and find a good dealer, regardless of if you go with Wilson or not, but one that can help make ... | |
| Time to move UP, speaker-wise... Dropped dead? What does that mean, really? My initial thought when I first read the thread, other than maybe wanting something different/new, why not fix what you have if you have enjoyed them for so long, certainly more than likely, a cheaper opt... | |
| New upper trim level Corvette or seven year old used amps? I just bought a classic Vette myself, yes sir! A 1986 Chevette. If I say it fast enough though, some might only pick up on the Vette part! Sigh...Its all good... |
