| “House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers @fleschlr--may I ask what preamplifiers and amplifiers you used with the MartinLogans? | |
| Concentric drivers “Doppler (intermodulation) distortion would show up as a reduction in clarity at high SPLs, particularly with bass-heavy, complex music.” @Duke—do you have any experience with this? | |
| Does measurements really matter? Brad--probably off-topic, but I've been meaning to listen to 40A and 50ASLT for a long time. I bet that within domestic reason, they sound similar (and great) from one room to another (as well as similar to each other except for bass and SPL). Wit... | |
| Are Harbeth the only warm and euphonic speakers in town ? 2nd Reynaud | |
| CJ PV14 or Audible Illusions Modulus 3A? I purchased an Audible Illusions (don't remember the model) and then a 3A (gave the first to my brother) from Audio Connections. Cannot recommend Johnny highly enough. No problem with either unit--haven't even had to replace tubes. You are probabl... | |
| MC2300 One of the all-time greats and possibly longest production super amp. They also hold their value: https://www.sothebys.com/buy/e6cc95bd-583c-41e6-8de8-b8290eb1fc0c/lots/5dc3cd3c-9c61-41d3-bef9-ae5bc71e8392 | |
| Tube Vs. SS Preamps Make sure that any tube preamp that you are considering has an output impedance compatible with your amplifiers. | |
| Conrad Johnson PV12 vs. Audible Illusions Modulus 3a Edit: those tubes sound great (not "find" great) | |
| Conrad Johnson PV12 vs. Audible Illusions Modulus 3a Have had an Audible Illusions 3A forever--not bleached/thin at all. Hard to characterize the sound as it does so much right. Perhaps its greatest strengths are its truth of timber and rich tonal colors. Weaknesses are its high line stage gain and ... | |
| ATC SCM150 (or JBL Synthesis) (or JBL vintage) (or new Klipsch Jubilee) ATC Active--but a smaller model (50 or 100) with a SWARM subwoofer system (http://www.audiokinesis.com/the-swarm-subwoofer-system-1.html) for better distribution of bass peaks and nulls. ATC SCA2 preamp or Benchmark LA4. | |
| You own a store, you sell 2 brands, which? Luxman and either Magnepan or Vandersteen. | |
| Perfect match for ATC speakers http://atcloudspeakers.co.uk/hi-fi/electronics/amplifiers/integrated/sia2-100/ or, if you only need a power amp, http://atcloudspeakers.co.uk/hi-fi/electronics/amplifiers/power/p1/ | |
| Drummers! Which amps do you use for best Timing & Dynamics? Add a Swarm: http://www.audiokinesis.com/the-swarm-subwoofer-system-1.html If it takes up too much space, audition the next two speakers up in the Neumann line—the 310 and 420. | |
| Any JBL 4367 owners or opinion? Following | |
| Quicksilver Preamps? Forgot to add—I went from Quicksilver 8417 amps to Silver 90s. Wish I had picked up a 190, 6C33C, and 120 monos—I obviously love Quicksilver amplifiers. They will drive anything within their power rating, seemingly immune to low impedance loudspea... |
