| Woofers for Apogee centaures minors The 6 inch woofer is a VIFA P17WG-00-06 and can be found at "www.madisound.com" If no longer available, then the similar VIFA P17WJ-00-08 can be used, although you will then have to replace the woofers in both speakers, because these are a differe... | |
| What is a good amp that cost no more then 3500.00 Hi Brian:My suggestion is an Innersound ESL amplifier, rated at 300 watts per channel. It will drive just about anything excellently, and electrostats superbly. It weighs 40 lbs, runs cool, has XLR & RCA inputs, and compact size. Retail is $29... | |
| Has anyone heard the Innersound Electrostatic amp? I own two of the Innersound amps, and IMO they are wickedly good, at any price. I've used them with various Acoustats, Innersound Eros, Gallo Nucleus Reference, Martin-Logan CLS IIz, and bought the second amp to biamp Apogee Duetta Signatures with... | |
| sub 1000 used cdp with balanced outs? A used Sony XA7-ES CD player would be in your ballpark, and it's very solidly built, with 2 DACs per channel in a dual differential design with balanced outputs; it also has fixed and variable RCA outputs. | |
| Define high current amp? The two postings above are excellent, and I just want to bring an amp to your attention that would do very well with planars, ESLs, ribbons, or dynamic speakers. I own the Innersound "ESL" amplifier, and currently use it with Martin-Logan CLS IIz ... | |
| Where is NBS? You can get onto the NBS site by clicking on the "English" (American flag) icon on the opening page. ("www.nbscables.com/") | |
| Any Opinions about Innersound ESL amps? Hello HBrandt:I currently use the ESL amp for my CLSIIZ's, and can't imagine a better amp for them; it is such a great synergy. The ESL amp gets all of the smallest details, and is capable of greater dynamics than I've ever heard with CLS speakers... | |
| Mid-Fi Amp/Preamp for Martin Logans If it would fit your budget, I would recommend an Innersound ESL amplifier for Martin-Logans, or any electrostatic speaker. It is made specifically for the capacitive load of an ESL, and drives them with ease, providing control and great dynamics,... | |
| Preamp shootout: Joule, CJ, BAT I also own the Joule preamp, and I'll verify everything that Macinman wrote about it. I have never owned an active preamp that is so quiet; I can advance the gain to full, and at the speakers there is NO noise, hiss, or any sign that the system is... | |
| Outdoor speakers The absolute best outdoor speaker is made by N.E.A.R., and their website is "www.nearspeakers.com" very musical, and practically bombproof. | |
| tips for Vandersteen 3A sig You could hardly do better than to add one (ideally two) of the Vandersteen 2WQ subwoofers to your system; perfectly matched, phase coherent full range sound, and the functional equivalent of the Vandersteen Model 5, for thousands less. You will g... | |
| tube preamp with satisfying low end? I would also give serious consideration to the Joule-Electra LA-100 MkIII (w/remote); the bass response of this unit is exceptional, and the midrange is even better. A preamp for lovers of music. | |
| How do you ship heavy oversized speakers If you live near an airport served by Delta, I have had good experience with Delta Air Freight service, and they have done well with large & heavy audio items (amplifiers, and a set of Acoustat 2+2 speakers in wooden crates-(8 ft. in length). ... | |
| Goertz MI 2 bi wire problem Alpha Core cables are excellent, but I've had problems with 2 different solid state amps using this cable. One amp went into full power oscillation at 70khz, and quickly got so hot that I burned my hand on the top of the amp when I went to investi... | |
| Amp For Kinergetics SW800 s There is a review of the SW800 system in "The Absolute Sound"Issue #94 (Spring '94), with a very comprehensive look at their use with the CLS speakers. They recommended a solid state amp (they used Bryston 7B monoblocks), but other Bryston amps wo... |
