| What is the best speaker for a smallish room? Thanks for the suggestions. I was also thinking about Thiel 2.4. They are not too small, but should be ok in a room like mine, don't you think? | |
| Avalon Indra vs Sonus Faber Cremona M I was recently talking to a friend, a Sonus Faber addicted. He loves the new Cremona, but still thinks there is some magic to the old Extremas that was rarely replicated in more recent SF speakers, Cremonas included. Sorry for going off-topic, but... | |
| Sonus Extrema: Amplifier and room size Well, Gregm, my dream would be to be able to build a system with the Quads for the midrange, a couple of serious woofers, and perhaps two great tweeters. That said, it's not going to be easy. First of all, most of the subwoofers that you see aroun... | |
| Sonus Extrema: Amplifier and room size Semi, maybe you're right that the Extrema are more of a nostalgic choice than anything else. On the other hand I have to say that despite technological changes, some of the best products are old -- I currently own a pair of Qaud ESL 57, and they a... | |
| Sonus Extrema: Amplifier and room size Kops, would you use a bi-amp solution? A powerful 200+200 SS for the low frequencies and a sweet tube like my EAR for the rest? | |
| Sonus Extrema: Amplifier and room size Thanks for the suggestions. My room is about 17x12, high ceiling...probably too small for them? | |
| Whats the best $1000 speakers I own a pair of Triangle Zerius 202, and find them stunningly good. I paid them $990 new. You can now find a pair of used Triangle Celius 202 on audiogon for $750. If they are in good conditions, that's a steal. These speakers are very sensitive a... | |
| The best mini monitors you have heard? In terms of price/quality ratio, I think the Triangle Titus are an amazing value. You can find them for around $500, and at that price I have yet to find anything even close to them. | |
| Amp for Quad ESL 57 Interesting suggestion. Thanks. Some people think the EAR ESL 834L is actually quite good and not that pricey. Someone suggested a Shindo Aurieges or any Shindo Lab preamplifier. | |
| Amp for Quad ESL 57 I just got an EAR 890 to drive my ESL 57, and I don't know which pre-amplifier to choose for it...I have a few ideas but I'd like to hear from more experienced folks. Thanks. | |
| Mac 275 questions........ Nsgarch,I just checked the tubes that I changed in my McIntosh Ma-2275, and they were the AT's...changing them made a big difference. Now, I'd like to see if changing the four 12AX7A can make a difference too. Telefunken never made 12AX7A. They us... | |
| Mac 275 questions........ Really?!? I didn't realize they are using EH! When did they start using them? My amplifier is 3 years old, and I was under the impression they used different ones. That's good to know. I have a 2275, and was about to replace stock tubes with a set... | |
| Mac 275 questions........ Nsgarch, I have read wonderful things about the EH KT-88. Have you ever tried them in the Mac 275 or 2275? Thanks. | |
| Amp for Quad ESL 57 I was actually about to sell my McIntosh MA-2275 for an integrate EAR V 20, when a friend of mine told me it would be a huge mistake. His suggestion was to change a couple of stock tubes for my Mac, and get Telefunken. I did that, and the sound ha... | |
| Amp for Quad ESL 57 That's very interesting. Is it possible to get Heathkits in good conditions? Where would you get them? For instance, do you know if Bill Thalman occasionally sells them? Tx. |
