| Which tubes? My amp can except El34, 6L6, KT88, an I can say that the Electro-Harmonix 6550 outperform both the Svetlana 6550 and Svet KT-88 in both my Rogue Tempest, and in the Cary SLI-80 Signature. They sounded cleaner top to bottom. The Svet KT88 had a bit more warmfuzzy in the mids, but you d... | |
| Best speaker new or used 2,000 for ROCK? You know, the Hales speakers are a great rock speaker. that are no longer manufactured, but parts are available.I owned a pair of Revelation 3s, and sold them about 6 months before Paul sold out.Anyway, they're great speakers, as many, many owners... | |
| Tube Pre-Amp Upgrade Advice for Young Audiophile My first TUbe PRe was a CJ PV-10AL.SInce you said you are looking for something that is more transparent, I would have to suggest that you NOT buy a CJ-PV10 model. They sound ravishing, but transparent is not a word I would use to describe them.Ma... | |
| know anything about the Unison Research Unico? I had an SR-1 Integrated, which is a cooler looking (and more expensive) Unico. (Check the website)There was great airgood on vocals (just a little SS bite, that while some prefer, I'm an all tube man)imaging and soundstaging were what impressed m... | |
| Any small speakers equal in sound to Hales Rev III Oh,I would have to disagree with hifiguy RE the 2.9 being a better speaker.true, it's got a nice bottom end, but it sounds less refined to my ears, with a high end that gets a bit tizzy at higher volumes.YMMV | |
| Any small speakers equal in sound to Hales Rev III I went from Rev 3s to B&W Nautilus 805.Yep. the bookshelf speaker.Now, OBVIOUSLY, the bass response is nowhere NEAR the Rev3.That is its greatest strength. I could never get them to image just right. I think the dispersion rings might be hurti... | |

| What do you think of rogue with B & W 805N? I'm using a Rogue Tempest integrated with B&W N805 speakers.There is NO problem with integration. There is enough power.As far as a Sub, the smart money is on REL, I believe the Strata III is the current model that matches best with the B&... | |
| Nautilus 805 setup question I also removed the tweeter grills.Sounds nice.I LISTEN TOTALLY GRILLE-LESS, AND i MUCH PREFER IT THAT WAYI have found that these speakers sound best(not sure why)in a roughly 6.5 foot equilateral triangle.I listen nearfield from the sweet spot, an... | |

| Differences between BW N804 and BW N805? I was talking about the Nautilus series, as I've never heard the Matrix series.Lthkeeper, did you hear the N804 vs the N805 side by side the same day/same system?And you can successfully Bi-amp the 805.IF you're saying that the $3500 804 are worth... | |
| VTL integrated? Rogue integrated? Or VTL pre? I compared the Cary to the Rogue.In my house, the Rogue won. But some may prefer the Cary.THe Cary is a Hell of a lot sexier, though. The Rogue can use 6550s or kt-88 or KT-90 (havent tried these).Mark(s) at Rogue are the best people that I have e... |
