| REL S510 or S812 I don't have experience, but I have REL and Rythmik, and for the money, I believe Rythmik is the better deal and very good at HT. | |
| my own experience with Tekton Design @stevebohnii I had the same desire to hear some Tektons and there were two guys in Denver. I went to the house of one of them and hear them. Very forward and bright for my ears. In the end, both Denver guys sold their speakers and replaced them, o... | |
| Tube amps under $7500 @hickamore I hear you on the multiple requirements. Good luck with your search. There are many good tube amps out there and I hope you update us with what fits the bill for you. If it were me, I might go for Linear Tube Audio stuff. They have warm... | |
| Tube amps under $7500 @hickamore There's a good thread about it, here. Point to point wiring and really good transformers. No money spent on advertising or marketing. Everything goes into the amps. Most agree that Quicksilver is an excellent value. | |
| Need a modern Class A monoblock, preferably half or compact chassis h45 I like your thinking, though I am not that guy, I appreciate the effort! rate and describe your experience As most here know, the "synergy" of a system is important. Ok, well what does "synergy" come to, in practical, experience-able terms... | |
| My Caladan Impressons each model Clayton has designed seems to be better than the previous model (I’ve heard some of the previous Spatial models). The Caladans are probably the best yet. Good to hear that each new design is better (rather than the same or worse) tha... | |
| Best SET Amplifier Ever Made? 6 Chassis Achilleas Legend Amp "turn the world on its head" Really? You underestimate how jaded audiophiles are -- they're heard it all, seen it all, and there's alway another "game changer." This kind of hyperbole doesn't really help -- it deadens. | |
| Need a modern Class A monoblock, preferably half or compact chassis I have four amps: Class A Pass XA25 Class A/B Akitika amp kit build Class D DIY Hypex based amp (a loaner) Tube monoblocks Quicksilver mono 60's. It is a LOT of fun switching between amps. It's not ambivalence, it's variety. Add in changes to... | |
| My Caladan Impressons Thanks for taking the time to write that. I wonder if these are just like the Spatials but now under a different name or if there has been some "leap" in approach or sound difference. OP, you may not have heard the Spatials, so perhaps anyone who... | |

| This sound-suppressing silk can create quiet spaces Some have commented it might be very expensive. Perhaps. But if it became standardized and developed as a building material, audiophiles would benefit the way we do when we make our own absorbers, now. | |
| This sound-suppressing silk can create quiet spaces @abnerjack You're most welcome. And if we, in audio, have not made the connection, it's hard to imagine others fully realizing it (other than the biologists). | |
| This sound-suppressing silk can create quiet spaces Thank you so much for posting. I've been kinda obsessed with how noise cancellation could graduate from earphones to bigger scales, but the best answers I've always gotten is that it would take too much energy or would be not feasible for other (p... | |
| Solid state amp vs tube amps I’m glad this topic finally came up! But seriously, I’d have to say that while high-quality equipment can definitely improve sound quality, I’ve found that room acoustics have an even greater impact. This includes differences between tube vs. sol... | |
