| Metal cabinet speakers I had a set of the Celestine SL600 with the honey comb cabinets and they did some things quite well. but huge power pigs. had an amazing midrange not so great in the extremes as modern speakers but very musical and engaging if I remember correctl... | |
| used Integrated tube amp under $1500 for Klipsch Cornwall III's? With that sensitivity it opens the doors to a whole lot of very nice sounding SET's. low power ones too. friend has Le Scala's hooked to some 2wpc 45 tube based SET's they sound amazing he paid less then 1500 for his mono amps and a Decware pre. ... | |
| turntable choice +vintage over new in your budget way more bang for the buck. | |
| Krell 400xi - Distortion in right channel ! If you've eliminated any other source of the sound then you may want to have a local tech take a look. parts that fail horribly can cause more damage on the way out. | |
| Brodmann FS speakers with SET tube amp I would not think about LS 3/5a’s with a SET amp the LS’s need lots of power as they are not very efficient.that seems, to me, a strange way to list spec's for those speakers. really wish manufacturers could stick to a standard spec measurements a... | |
| Phase Inversion, to flip polarity or not Not to mention the drivers in your speakers may not all be in the same polarity- phase. Some speaker designs change polarity for different drivers. | |

| I am down to 2 choices (PP or SET amp?) to run my JBL L100 (alnico) you will need more power then 8wpc, I have a SET 300b amp and it having a hard time with louder listening with 94db speakers let alone 91db. | |
| Only $800 to work with streamer/power for 3rd system Biggest question is why do you need 32bit support, is there any true 32bit software out there yet? I'm betting the highest you'll find is 24bit with any regularity and even that stuff most likely isn't true 24bit. Think up-sampling. I'm not trying... | |
| Preamps... understanding volume... Schitt Audio Fraya or Saga would let you see if you need the passive or active preamp as it can switch between both. $299-$899 | |
| Help looking for dynamic warm romantic sound with detail Tube integrated and some ProAc floor standers. I'm still amazed at the Proac response 2.5 and successors. had the 2.5's with some Cary SLM 100 (100wpc) tube amps that was a heavenly combo for some reason granted the later 2.5 variants are more det... | |
| Phono preamp question I have is the Sansui original? I'm asking because of the age and part start to drift and lose tolerances (Caps specially) some of the phono sections of those vintage receivers were actually quite good so you may want to consider some serv... | |
| Proac Tablette or B&W cdm7nt or Audio Physic Yara 2 Classic why not get 2 subs and properly integrate them in with your Proac's. Something about Proacs and the way they suck you into the music is hard to forget. I'd imagine you could sell the B&W's and buy the subs for similar money that will satisfy y... | |
| What system can adequately reproduce the sounds of a tanker being hit by torpedo ? Well I have actually heard a torpedo hit a US Navy Tanker during RIMPAC 2012 sink EX. I actually loaded the said torpedo, I was on board HMCA Victoria a Canadian Submarine we shot a US Navy Mk 48 torpedo. Anyway there’s no speaker in the wold that... | |
| Spade vs bare wire Both silver and copper wire will oxidize if using bare wire you should tin the wire ends but do not allow the solder to penetrate the insulation as that will contaminate the tinning. |
