| Tube Integrated with deep bass KR Audio Kronzilla SXi. Goes down deep and never loses its grip. Not too shabby over the rest of the spectrom as well. Really shines with Duke's Audiokinesis Jazz Modules. | |
| With 15W tube amp, which speakers to use? Duke's Audiokinesis Jazz Modules should work well with your amp -- 92 db and 12 ohm impedance, price new is just within your range -- there is a sale through AudioCircle. I just got a pair this week, and I am a happy camper! The dynamics are amazi... | |
| Ayon CD Players: CD-1 and CD-3 I've had a bit of time to listen to my Ayon CD-1 and I have been delighted. Just to add that I took the CD-1 to a friends last week and compared it to his heavily modded Sony SACD. He has a nice set up with Wilson Watt Puppy 7's and Pass amp/pream... | |
| Do any speakers image/sound-stage close to walls? Should distance of speaker from wall behind be measured as distance from back of speakers (more relevant for rear ported designs??) or front of speakers (for front ported or sealed designs??)? | |
| Ayon CD Players: CD-1 and CD-3 Sally and Darealjaydee,The unit I purchased was the review unit from the recent Dagogo review, so Doug Schroeder did the hard work of breaking it in. I bought the unit from USA Tube Audio. I have enjoyed working with them and previously bought my ... | |
| Ayon CD Players: CD-1 and CD-3 Sally, my new Ayon CD-1 arrives tomorrow. I'll let you know how it compares to my Consonance 2.2 once I've had a chance to listen. The distributor has a money back offer, so if it doesn't live up to expectations, you can send it back. | |
| Looking for Almost Full Range Speakers One speaker that I am seriously considering is Duke's Audiokinesis Jazz Modules, although they are just outside your budget at $4500. If sold retail they would easily cost twice as much. I hope to audition them in the near future, but I have heard... | |
| speakers for 15' by 12' listening room? I have a room almost the exact same size. I am currently trying a pair of Usher Be-718's on loan from a local dealer. These are wonderful speakers in many ways and have very good bass for standmounts. The berylium (sp?) tweeter provide lots of det... | |
| Cary 805, deHavilland or Atma-Sphere? Anyone cares Another option for more bass is KR Audio amps. I have the Kronzilla SXI and bass control is wonderful (among other things). I like to use Bela Fleck's Flight of the Cosmic Hippo as a bass reference and the Kronzilla really graps the bass by the se... | |
| Alternative to Kondo with Living Voice There was a recent thread about this if you do a search on Living Voice speakers. I think member Garyralph has had a New Audio Frontiers Living Voice combo. There is a NAF amp for sale now (as well as Living Voice speakers). I'd jump on the NAF if... | |
| speaker to big? I have a room that is on the small side (13x15) and found the same thing -- at louder levels the room really got overloaded. But I got a RealTraps kit and the situation improved dramatically. I can play music as loud as I want now without problems... | |
| Tube amps with BALLS in the low end registrer ??? I second Kaicable's response re: Kronzilla DX. I have the KRonzilla SXi with half the power of the DX (50 watts/channel) using 90db sensitive speakers and the way the Kronzilla grabs hold of the low end and still remains extremely musical is astou... | |
| Anyone recommend a neutral tube amp? The KR Audio tube amps with their reverse hybrid design are very neutral ranging in power from 20-100 watts/channel (actually one version at 200W). | |
| Cost no Object but Small Room I have a small room too and recently contacted John DeVore at DeVore Fidelity about his line of speakers, particularly the Silverbacks. He claims that they would work well in rooms about the size of yours. Don't know if you have any dealers in HK,... | |
| What tube amp to drive Guarneri's? Following up on Gregm's recommendation, I recently got the KR Audio Kronzilla SXI integrated. It is extremely transparent and has AMAZING bass -- not just deep but it really takes control of the woofers, well beyond the more powerful solid state a... |
