| New monoblocs for Maxx II, which ones When doing my own research on a new amp, I ran across this review of the Kronzilla by Brad Morrical: http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue28/kronzilla.htmHe was quite impressed with the Kronzilla paired with Wilson X1. Anyway, something to consider. | |
| High End Integrated Choices I finally received a KR Audio Kronzilla SXI and have to add it as a high end integrated to consider. It is still breaking in, but I'm enjoying it very much. Bass control is amazing. Very high resolution with crystal clear highs and long decay. lot... | |
| New Audio Frontiers "Legend" integrated amplifier Jtinn, In what way is the NAF beautiful sounding? I have ordered a KR Audio Kronzilla SXI, but vacillated between that and the NAF 845 SE Special Edition Integrated. They are both carried by the same distributor, so it is possible to switch my ord... | |
| SET for 88 dB 4 ohm loadspeaker The KR Kronzilla DX monoblock has 2 T-1610 Kronzilla tubes in parallel for a total output of 100Watt SET. Here is a review: http://www.enjoythemusic.com/superioraudio/equipment/0506/kr_audio_dx_monoblock.htm The Kronzilla SX and SXI stereo version... | |
| SET for 88 dB 4 ohm loadspeaker oops, I meant Mastersound 845 Ref. As a banjo player, I think about the Gibson Mastertone whenever I write mastersound. | |
| SET for 88 dB 4 ohm loadspeaker KR Audio produces a number of higher power SETs, that output 20-100 Watts SET depending on model. I have their SXI integrated on order with 50W output from the Kronzilla tube. I currently have a Ming Da with an 805/300b combo that puts out about 4... | |
| Repair for Meixing amp? Is this a new amp? I had that problem when my Ming Da arrived a couple of years ago. The fuse was rated for 220V. For 110 V the fuse needed to be twice as high -- eg 6 amp instead of 3 amp. | |
| 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? |
