| Speakers: Anything really new under the sun? @holmz I think we’re missing each other due merely to semantics, and I’m happy to let it rest. What has been said in this very interesting thread has gone way beyond resonances and has included materials in cones/drivers, ribbon tweeters, and oth... | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 When you say "warm preamp" I don't follow. If you said, "warm tubes for preamp" I would follow better. But maybe there is such a thing as a "warm preamp" above and beyond the tubes put into it. If that is true, I'd appreciate folks teaching me t... | |
| Reasons not to freak out about tube supplies @kennyc Thanks. I have refrained from asking the question, "Well, it seems Russian tubes will not be running short, but should perhaps they be boycotted for ethical reasons?" because that would likely start a food fight/hissy fit/barroom brawl. (S... | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) @holmz Yes! We would also accept this: | |
| Speakers: Anything really new under the sun? @arion There are advances in materials all the time. Manufacturing process improvements help companies build products that are more consistent....We...have invested considerable resources to design, develop and manufacture our own AMT drivers. ... | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) @coltrane1 You really have the "Hey kids, get off my lawn!" vibe nailed. Atmasphere is now making Class D as are others with sterling reputations. So....they're all crazy or craven, eh? | |
| Speakers: Anything really new under the sun? @holmz Not sure what you're saying. Are saying something like, (a) "There was such a thing as "materials science" back then? That's too obvious a point for me to assume you're making. The other option is that you're implying something like, ... | |
| Commonly mentioned speaker brands? I have found myself gravitating not so much to the brands that get mentioned the most often, but the ones which get mentioned enough that I realized there was something of quality there. Add to that that there is very little debate about these les... | |
| Pass Labs INT-25 or equivalent in another brand I wonder if anyone has a list of A/B amps that stay in Class A for long enough to really erase the difference btw A and A/B? | |
| Speakers: Anything really new under the sun? Interesting discussion. I would have thought that the "materials science" factor, mentioned by a couple folks here, would have answered the question as "yes," but apparently this factor is just a minor one in the eyes of some. Hmmm. I guess I real... | |
| Speakers: Anything really new under the sun? I'm a bit new, myself. Are open baffle speakers with active woofers as with the Spatial X3 an old design? They seem new to me... | |

| Sad to say I need a new amp… +1 @rocray | |
| Reasons not to freak out about tube supplies @tksteingraber Understood. I guess I'm from a field where constant debate is normal so for me it is a standard M.O. to strip off my reactions to someone's tone of voice or style ("whiny" as you put it) in order to examine the reasons or claims the... | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… @bkeske Not sure where you are, but if you're along the Front Range, I have a tech I'd recommend to you. Wish Audiogon had a thread for hooking up customers with local techs. |
