| SET Integrateds My speakers are 90-91 db sensitivity with nominal impedance of 8 ohms. So I think I'll be ok with 20 Watts. Glad you like the Viva -- the Italians are doing so nice stuff!By the way I meant to say Mastersound 845 in my original post, not Masterton... | |
| Speaker placement and Furniture -assitance needed You might want to consider a diagonal set up with the spearkers on each side of the corner if you want to use the 15x15 room. I have a basically square 17x17 room and I use this set up. It sounds pretty good with no acoustic treatment, although I ... | |
| advice on hiding cables When I had my speakers in the living room with equipment across the room about 18 feet from the speakers, I thought about going through the basement floor and up but realized this would take a lot of extra cable and a lot of extra work. I got some... | |
| Z Squared Python Model Power Cord I've got their Elite I power cords (2 of them), an Ultra cord, and the Topline interconnect. I really noticed an improvement in my system with the Elite I going from the wall to the power condition (from which CD and integrated amp play). I was co... | |
| Look Ma, No Speakers I'd like to try the AirScooter. | |
| Need 10 foot cable for Audio Magic Stealth XXX Surprisingly, I've had good success running a Z-squared Elite I from the wall to my Stealth Power conditioner, even though it is a relatively small gauge. I don't know if it is available in 10 foot runs. | |
| Z-squared Elite II's and Au/Au interconnects I just received an Elite I powercord this week and was very impressed. Bass had more impact and was very tight. More detail and resolution at the high end without brightness. I listened to Mark O'Connor Heroes and the last cut with the Indian viol... | |
| Integrated amp advice needed... Not to open a can of worms ... but have you thought about the DK Design VS-1? | |
| Goertz Bi-wire or something else Thanks for your feedback! I think I'll stick with the Goertz and do the bi-wire, plus I should have enough left to make an 8 foot spare pair for sale. I have the silver spades and they are quite nice. I'll be certain to get them on the rest of the... | |
| DK Design VS-1 versus 300b sound Jmcgrogan, I never posted anything about the Paradigm or Magnepan speakers. So I just have one stupid naive post. | |
| DK Design VS-1 versus 300b sound It is interesting that when someone posts a question involving a DK Design amp, they are jumped on as a shill for DK Design, even when they say nothing touting the virtues of the product. If my thread had been "Plinius 9200 versus 300b sound" I do... | |
| DK Design VS-1 versus 300b sound A pair of speakers built by a local speaker builder (Joe Berky) in Baltimore. They consist of separate monitor and subwoofer cabs. Monitors have an MTM design with a ScanSpeak Revelator tweeter between 2 Audax 5.25 inch carbon fiber midranges. Bas... | |
| DK Design VS-1 versus 300b sound BTW, I haven't sung the praises or advocated for the dk design at all. I just asked a question | |
| DK Design VS-1 versus 300b sound WEll I am admittedly a newbie that hasn't posted on Audiogon before, although I have posted several times at that other forum. Anyway, You can see that I have been a member for about a year, well before the Dk Design came out. Of course, the way s... | |
| DK Design VS-1 versus 300b sound Nothing shill about this. I have a small taste of the 300b sound from a Ming Da amp with 300b and 805 tubes. It sounded quite good to my ears, but has been a PITA with respect to reliability. I've read a lot of Audiogoners who have replaced tube s... |
