| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Mapman, I have come to the conclusion that I too, am a dual system person. My struggle between my love of tube gear and B&W speakers has caused my OCD to go into overdrive. Just today, I bought a SS Plinius Hautago amp (200 watts) suitable for... | |
| Getting the Upgrade Bug Again Siox - yes, this thread has "morphed" into a speaker-related one. It certainly wasn't by design! | |
| Getting the Upgrade Bug Again Thanks for the suggestions! Keep them coming. I will be trying Totem Element Earth and Reference 3A Grand Veena BE's on home trial basis next week. | |
| Getting the Upgrade Bug Again Thanks Roscoeiii. On the surface my approach may look a bit backwards but I should have left well alone. I know that I am extremely happy with my PrimaLuna integrated amp. am also happy with my sources and interconnects. The "updgrade" to B&W ... | |
| Getting the Upgrade Bug Again After listening to the Luxman for a few weeks, I have decided that while there is an improvement, the B&W's still don't sound right. Luxman sent back and B&W's sold this morning. On a new quest for a more compatible speaker for my beloved ... | |
| Prima luna Owners - What Speakers are you using After a few weeks of trying out the B&W 803 Diamonds, I found out that the PL did not have enough power to drive them to their full potential. I can't say they are a good match for the PL. | |
| Getting the Upgrade Bug Again Abrew19 - to coin a phrase "you don't know, what you don't know", that would describe my experience with the B&W's. The Luxman has made a huge difference. I will be keeping my PrimaLuna integrated and will be on the lookout for a pair of speak... | |
| Getting the Upgrade Bug Again I have been running the Luxman for a few hours now. It is showing some promise. I now understand what you guys were saying about the B&Ws needing more power. They sound very different. I can't wait to hear what these speakers will sound like w... | |
| Getting the Upgrade Bug Again I just ordered a Luxman 505ux. We shall see how it performs. With a 60 day return policy from Music Direct,I have nothing to lose. | |
| Thoughts on the Rogers EHF-100? Just heard it today. Compared it to McIntosh gear in the same room. Sounded way better than Mac gear. Interesting perspective from the retailer. People come in with the specific purpose of buying another brand and they go with Rogers. It's on my s... | |
| Getting the Upgrade Bug Again Tls49 Thanks for the input. Yes - I am currently running the B&W 803 Diamonds on the 4 ohm tap. I'm going to try some KT 120's in the interim. | |
| Getting the Upgrade Bug Again Zd542 -Thanks so much for all the great info. There is plenty to ponder for sure! I can audition the CJ gear at home with my speakers. I will also do some investigation on the recommended components. | |
| Getting the Upgrade Bug Again Xti16 - still running stock EL 34's. Not sure who PrimaLuna sources them from but probably Chinese. | |
| Getting the Upgrade Bug Again Zd542 - The PrimaLuna has plenty of power for my speakers. I don't think I would need more power. Xti16 - Stock tubes right now with about 150 hours on them. Swapping tubes is an excellent suggestion.Thanks! | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Good advice Don. I can't got to my dealer without buying something. My wife calls it the "crack house"! |
