| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? I'm looking at some nice Salk monitors that get down far enough to perhaps make a sub unnecessary. Plus, very nice wood choices. http://www.salksound.com/type.php?format=Monitor | |
| Separates or Integrated? What makes more sense? As for sound differences, I suppose one question I'd have is this: In what circumstance could you do an blind A/B comparison with similarly high-quality equipment (i.e., the same manufacturer who offers both similarly priced separates and IA) in ... | |
| MHDT or Border Patrol Great to hear. Thank you! | |
| MHDT or Border Patrol Reading and looking based on this thread. QUESTION: How is MHDT as a company for communication and service? Where are they made? I'm not against any company, location wise, but if shipping, repairs, service or company longevity are an issue, it he... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? @atmasphere Thanks for relaying that. Knowing that someone has found synergy is highly motivating. I'll go take a look at the M-60. | |
| Cary integrated vs. Rogue Cronus Magnum Thanks so much. Somehow, I missed your reply, here. I'll go take a listen. There's also tube stuff by Dared (Saturn) and Black Ice Jolida FS35 which I can here, and also Octave V70 (more than I want to spend but there's a lower line one I could or... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? Thanks, Markus for the added suggestions, including Coda. The challenge for me (just a newbie) would be figuring out in the abstract not just whether the preamp/amp would work, but would they work well together and with my speakers. That implies m... | |

| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? Thanks for the extra info decooney.brotw -- i'll look into tekton, possibly. I'm going to try to really love those salks and match them with the right amp; I'll have about 30 days to get them in front of as much amplification as possible. will pro... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? Ok, then. I'll need to be clear about what I'm hearing in the store! | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? Thanks for the Ear suggestion!@markthenaimnut 450 sq feet. Retangular basement room; brick walls 3 ways around an bookshelves along a long wall. Small hallway leading off but can be curtained. About 15 x 30 460 sq ft. 7.5 ft ceilings. Not sure how... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? Also Dared Saturn is local option, too. | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? @tvad The speaker change was meant to open up options at commensurate or greater quality. I wasn’t trying to lower quality on the amp front! E.g., locally, I have choices between lower and higher powered QS, Rogue, Octave, Black Ice/Jolida, and mo... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? @bigby thanks, will take a look@decooney I hear you on not under-powering the speakers. Jim didn't say "minimum" of 30 wpc, he thought 30 wpc was comfortable. That said, there's not reason not to do at least 40 or perhaps 60. Above that, I may be ... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? @djones51 -- Thanks. That's a good idea. There's supposedly an MA252 at Listen Up. It will be helpful to try out the speaker with different amps, for sure. |
