| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? @clhs04 Thanks so much for your post. I have some lower priced Klipsch RP 600M's and they are so easy to drive. I don't think these speakers are right for my listening area — they're kicking butt in my home theater, but their mids and highs leave ... | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? Thanks. The only Audio Physic speaker near is Audio Physic Tempo, used for about $1k. | |
| Best CD player under $2000 @mozartfan Are you listening to the Cayin’s 17 year old DAC or using the Cayin as a transport? | |
| Best CD player under $2000 +1 on separate transport. I recently approached just this question and got a Cambridge CXC and an MHDT Orchid DAC. The CXC is solid (there are other solid transports, of course) and my DAC is great.I may be repeating things you've read, but here i... | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? @atmasphere re Thanks for correcting VTL. I'm surprised they're out there with such false information. I'm grateful to bury the damping thing. Clearly, it refuses to die, generally.There may be different senses of what 'Tight bass' means. One way ... | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? @mammothguy I’m not so sure you’re not on to something, as well as the others. This was an interesting article (1967!) which helps tamp down on whatever big debates were happening about DF back then. (Are the same debates happening today?)It seems... | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? @ieales The more I think about it the more I agree. I think this would be an experiment if I cannot figure out anything else to try that is different. | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? “Studiously ignored” is the perfect way of capturing what I experienced, with one additional fact: I have spent money there already! | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? I might have a chance to try tektons, thanks. I am returning the Focals and will try something else. I'm not changing amps. | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? Hi Audite, I’ve done some tube rolling. I have KT88s in my Monos. Not sure why a tube roll would change the fundamentals, here. | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? @almarg Thanks. I didn’t think it was all that low, in comparison to other tube amps and QS has a good reputation for driving a lot of speakers. Thanks for adding some quality information for context.@audiokinesis I didn’t follow the technical det... | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? @mammothguy No bubble burst; I knew their on-paper damping factor but reports about their abilities were pretty positive. And they do a very good job, but I’m totally experimenting with speaker choices here and it cost me nothing to learn somethin... | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? Thanks J. Chip. I could hear some locally. Not the Triton 2s? | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? @fuzztoneI'd call Mike first see what he thinks.I wrote him. Only had a couple things for me — advises a 4 ohm tap and to get sensitive speakers.@iealesI figured my amps would have the power to drive towers. I have heard the ML Motion 60's are eas... | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? From the link above [ https://www.dhtrob.com/overige/tubefriendly_lsp_en.php ] this seems helpful:"[F] the purposes of determining tube-friendliness, sensitivity is essentially meaningless. Many tube gurus insist that one must use speakers with se... |
