| Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K I will always be running a tube preamp. It's a work of art. But would opt to run a SS power with a set of rock dedicated speakers. Recommendations for excellent ss power amps to compliment? Pass Labs was recommended... | |
| Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K I'm hearing some things here. A lot of Klipsch, Volti, JBL horn-type speakers. Also some suggestions to employ SS amps instead of tubes. Since I run separates, I'm not opposed to adding a SS power amp and running some rock-dedicated speakers i... | |
| Help with speaker selection Daedalus Audio Apollos. In an average room size, you will never regret them. Wolf Von Langa Son. Superb for jazz, blues, acoustics, vocals, etc. | |
| Advice or Experience with Tube Amps: 485's or KT170's? ozzy62 Thanks for that. I have been checking out Aric Audio and the Super 211 SET. It looks very good with the build I've been looking for. The review on 6Moons was thorough and inspiring. I have not wanted to have to buy a preamp, but the Ari... | |
| Advice or Experience with Tube Amps: 485's or KT170's? carlsbad2 Thanks Jerry. I know the tonal qualities of the 300b are the Holy Grail of tube amps. I would have to test a 300b SET with my speakers as 95db is not always the same from speaker to speaker. It sounds like you recommend an amp/preamp s... | |
| Advice or Experience with Tube Amps: 485's or KT170's? auroravengeance Thanks for the recommendation. The LAB12 Integre4 Mk2 Integrated Amplifier now comes outfitted with KT-170 valves and garners some great reviews. And the price is right. I have put it on my short list. I would still like to li... | |
| Advice or Experience with Tube Amps: 485's or KT170's? Currently have Daedalus Muse but also buying Wolf Von Longa Son Speakers that are 95db. I am set on not buying 330b's at this point, so I am looking for class A tubes that have more wattage than 8-10 w. I do not think most 300b's would be adequa... | |
| Speaker recommendation £2-10k range In that budget, I would highly recommend ordering a pair of Daedalus Muse speakers. I would take them over Harbeth, Spendor, KEF, or any others. They are custom-made, beautiful, and have a fabulous sound, They may take a bit of time as they are ... | |
| Major innovative break through: The new NSMT Loudspeakers reference speaker One issue with the NSMT speakers is the lack of availability to audition them. I called Erol (very nice). He said NSMT no longer has a listening room at their location (!). He added that there used to be quite a few places across the US where th... | |
| Lush and Romantic Tube Amps atmasphere Thanks for the answer. I've looked at your Atmasphere Class D. It looks nice. I would probably be looking for a single unit Class D stereo to pair with a nice tube preamp. Have you ever considered making one? 60-100 watts... would b... | |
| Lush and Romantic Tube Amps To atmasphere: Knowing your background of tube design, etc., would you recommend perhaps using a SS power amp with a tube preamplifier? Or perhaps a ss / tube hybrid integrated? Thanks. | |
| Best Tube Amp for High Sensitivity Speakers: 45, PX25, or 300B? clhs04: I believe there's some truth in that. I think most sound systems, environments, and demands do not fit the 300B ability. Perhaps for the 20k+ 300B amps, there is a window to perform better, but not the low-budget systems. | |
| Best Tube Amp for High Sensitivity Speakers: 45, PX25, or 300B? kennyc: Yes, I was looking for integrated at this stage of the game as it would probably be more within the current budget than separates, cables, etc. Also, space issues where I have my sound system located. My goal has been to learn from this... | |
| Best Tube Amp for High Sensitivity Speakers: 45, PX25, or 300B? liquidsound John: That BorderPatrol is a beautiful unit. Out of my current budget but could be a bucket list amp one day. Thanks for sharing. Markusthenaimnut: I think you are right. I failed to give proper disclosure from the beginning of ... | |

I know this website has its detractors but in my year of involvement, it has been a great source and I've meet some amazing people in this community. Since starting this thread,... |
