| From KEF 103.2 to Harbeth 30.1 and back....Your advice sought. As much as I’m a fan of the thin-walled, BBC style speakers from Harbeth and similar ilk, they don’t have hard hitting dynamics when compared to brands of more contemporary design. This is very obvious in side-by-side comparisons, but is also easy... | |
| Match of Hybrid Rogue Pharaoh and B&W 803D2 speaker It was at moderate volumes where I noticed these Rogue hybrids were rolling off the bass. At higher volumes it seemed to level out. Anyway, it’s a good amp overall. One could do a lot worse. You definitely don’t have to worry about clipping with a... | |
| Match of Hybrid Rogue Pharaoh and B&W 803D2 speaker I had a much different experience with the Pharaoh. Sure it had power, but completely cut off the lowest octaves of the music. It wasn’t apparent until I compared it with my old class AB amp.Once I got into full tube amps I realized these Rogue hy... | |
| Low-heat-output amp for Devore O/96 Yamaha A-S2100. It can sound as good as a class A amp but will barely get warm with high-efficiency speakers like your Devores. | |
| From KEF 103.2 to Harbeth 30.1 and back....Your advice sought. Epos might be your ticket for dynamic. and hard hitting bass that doesn't sacrifice the mids. They play well with all genres IME. ProAc may be another good option. | |
| Does It have to be loud? ^ and destroy voicecoils. | |
| Hello, my name is WisepreadPanic and I’m an addict So you moved your system to a carport and it sounds best when you're high on smack? Thanks for sharing. | |
| Critique my setup +1 twoleftears.Great systems require synergy between components and one's ears. In the end, only you can make that assessment. The benefit of ordering from a place like MD is you get to try the components in your home for a reasonable amount of ti... | |
| Throughly disappointed with my new Yamaha A-3000 Integrated....... Dave,That’s what occurred with the first example (A-S1100) I had in my system, however, it sounded and functioned just fine. I only returned it to try another amp. Ultimately, the Yamaha sound beckoned and I bought another. This one runs warm abov... | |
| Throughly disappointed with my new Yamaha A-3000 Integrated....... Dave,Unless you're using very demanding speakers, I wouldn't be surprised if your amp's bias has drifted, possibly due to shipping. The first A-S1100 I had in my possession ran very hot, my current one barely gets warm after a couple hours. My roo... | |
| Critique my setup @mattyjman,Here is the reply I received straight from VPI:"Hey helomech, yes there was a time we had essentially a "mini power supply" in the table. It won’t work with the Phoenix or SDS. The ADS was made while keeping in mind we had models out th... | |
| Critique my setup I’d say your speakers are definitely the weak link, but if going the tube route, you can do a lot better than Jolida. A lightly used Cayin or Line Magnetic amp can be had for about the same $$$.Normally I would put most of a budget toward speakers... | |
| ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict? So far it seems there’s a consensus that these require careful gear matching. I wonder if the Audio Alchemy amps would work well. Wasn’t this the pairing at last year’s shows? So far it sounds like they’re not the giant slayers that some might hop... | |
| Carbon fibre sleeve over existing cabling, incredible Teleport some over to me and I'll give it a try. | |
| Carbon fibre sleeve over existing cabling, incredible I wrapped my car's engine hoses with this stuff. Made it faster! Steering is tighter too! I’ve heard it can improve one’s sex life if applied in the right place. |
