| Tube Amps With Good Bass Qualities @mijosyn,From what I read, I did not find Ralph extolling his amps, but only providing an overview about what happens and why.Even with the smiley emoji, I think it not fair. Especially so when there are other dealers on Audiogon who would be much... | |
| Bose 301 modifications I concur with the other posters. Don't bother with trying to make those speakers something they aren't.Unless you have lots of time and money to burn, there are better ways at getting sound quality-Like building your own speakers from scratch.Perh... | |
| Have you ever been blocked by an E seller here? @stereo5 .I wouldn't care if I got blacklisted. Hifi Shark is your friend in these cases.Thankfully, the internet has balanced the power such dealers try to command.@uberwaltz,I concur.Bob | |
| Vandersteen 2WQ Subs and ARC Power amp @scottwsmith , Good info.When I separate the subs from the speakers, yes, I hear a very faint sound from the subs. So, I suspect they are working. Moving to a lower impedance should provide an increase in bass response- at least it does for me.Wha... | |
| Sonus Faber peeling leather @OP,That is a sad way to be introduced to a new speaker.I think the advice tablejockey gave is appropriate.If Sonus Faber is reluctant, I would get my money back.Bob | |
| Bose 301 modifications The 301's were in a room of a dorm mate in the 70's.They were pretty nice for the time. If anything, I would just add a subwoofer to the system. Bose were always bass shy.What are you using with them?Bob | |
| Different systems playing same music simultaneously Bluesound is probably what you want. A set of Nodes- and they don't have to be the latest edition, will give you what you want as a very competitive price.It is what I am using as I write...Bob | |
| Which amp for Vandersteen 3As? Vandy's are not a difficult load for most amps.McCormack is a good choice.Belles is also highly recommended.If you want the best, then Ayre is the way to go.I only post this because I tried them all.One thing I will point out is that Vandy's seem ... | |
| Vandersteen 2WQ Subs and ARC Power amp @stringreen Excellent point.@mr_m ,My subs have never been loud or boomy, in fact very subtle. I can only 'hear' them if I disconnect the speakers and play the subs separately.@scottwsmith ,Though mr_m gave you a caution, I would be hesitant with ... | |
| Ayre Codex vs. Lampizator Amber II I was at Audioconnection a week ago and Johnny had an Aurender connected to the Codex (after running the Bluesound Node with the Codex).In short, I was amazed at how much cleaner the sound (esp. Bass), was.I contacted Aurender to find if I can hoo... | |
| Vandersteen 2WQ Subs and ARC Power amp Another thought...Which taps are you using with the ARC?Bob | |

| Vandersteen 2WQ Subs and ARC Power amp Vandy subs are very subtle in performance.When you plug them in, do you hear a 'Thump'. If so, good! They are working.150K crossovers should be giving you noticeable bass, considering the amps 300K impedance, but perhaps your room needs a bit mor... | |
| Have you ever been blocked by an E seller here? I just recalled a listing with a 'Make offer', which I did- $1000 less than the listed price. (Originally, $8,500).The seller offered the original price in response.When I asked, ' Why offer a 'Make offer', if you want only your asking price, he/s... |
