| Question on preamp matching with Wright 3.5 2A3 am I know about the Wright but it has no remote. I got the pre yesterday, Rogue, and I cant get my current speakers to play any louder than low conversation type volume. They are B& W DM601's 88 db effec. I have to turn up the volume to over 75% ... | |
| what speakers for 4k or less new or used I have owned many speakers including Merlin VSM's, Silverline Sonata's, Gallo Nuc Ref 3's, Talon Khorus xII's and many others. Some of these cost up to $10,000 - $18,000 new. However, the speaker I have enjoyed the most is the Usher 6381. Very, ve... | |
| Smaller speaker to replace Khorus in Tact system I owned the Talon Khorus XII's and replaced them with the Usher 6381 speaker. The Usher is more musical to my ear. I gave up nothing , except some bass power, and actually gained in many areas! Dealer discount - $2800 or so.Good luck | |

| Talon Raven C Speakers I am the guy who owned the Bruce Moore and Talons. The Berning is more than enough power. Power will not be an issue. This is just my opinion, but I would not pick that amp to match with the Talon Khorus or Raven speakers. I have also owned the ZH... | |
| Better Amps For Talon Khorus CAT JL2 or Tenor 75? I have owned the Belles monoblocks in my system with the Khorus XII's , Opus 21 CD player and Tom Evans Vibe preamp.The bass was over-damped and almost muted. The highs were a little "steely". I now own Parasound JC-1 monoblocks and they easily be... | |
| Matching amp for Talon Khorus Best SS amp or amp I have owned on my Khorus XII's are Parasound JC-1 monoblocks. They are much better than even the Bruce Moore Dual 70 on these speakers. First time I have really heard my speakers! Just brought them alive.Grannyring | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Well, I have been comparing the Cortese(stock tubes) to the the Syrah (stock tubes). Thus far I am only listening the line stage with my Resolution Audio Opus 21 player. The Cortese is better by what I consider a small margin. More refined and and... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I now have a Cortese to A/B verses the Syrah. I am also lucky enough to have a CJ Premier 16LS MKII , on loan, to go head to head against the " highly praised" Supratek models.Thus far I wish the Syrah had more body, foundation and overall weight ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I have talked to Mick and the only area of change in the Syrah is the phono section. I only use the linestage and he told me that it has remained pretty much the same. Your right about the unit making noise as I have moved the power supply all aro... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century First, how many actually break or have a problem? One in 40, one in 70. Pretty small chance/risk. Second, paying full price is $2500, not $8000 like many of the preamps I have owned from Thor, Wavac and Audio Note. The Syrah bests all three of the... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I will try the Mullard GZ-30, WE350B's and the Ken Rad Black Glass VT231. First, what brand are the WE350's(Is that Western Electric?)Not sure where to buy these tubes on the net? Thanks to all for all of the wonderful help.Grannyring | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century AsaThe Parasound Halo JC1 is the onlu=y SS amp I have ver owned. I am a true blue tube man. But these SS mono's are the best amp I have heard on my speaker by a wide margin.If I xlosed my eyes I would have NEVER guessed it was a SS amp. Would have... | |
