| Many higher end preamps are dated and ugly, why is this? I don't care how preamps look, I don't care how speakers look. I mix black and silver components. I mix red back light with blue. All I care about is, how does it sound. I admit that glowing tubes in the evening can be somewhat intoxicating. | |
| Yep much to do about nothing. Fear brains. | |
| Anybody have a line on A Gallo CLS 10 or 12? https://reverb.com/item/22404538-gallo-acoustics-cls-10-subwoofer-black | |
| What amplifier should I get.... @jasonbourne52 If the first watt sucks, why bother? | |
| What amplifier should I get.... I believe that both have good speakers have good sensitivity, especially the GPA. I run some A-7, 500 Voice of the Theaters with a Decware integrated SE34I.5 and this has been a magical match. They are very helpful if you call, and can assist in... | |
| Suggestions for upgrading amps in my home theater system I know that with my set up I run in everything from 5.1 to 2.1 to just 2 channel. You will notice, based on the way things are recorded. I run a fair amount of turntable and cd on my mains and trying to run anything besides stereo mode, sounds w... | |
| Suggestions for upgrading amps in my home theater system How are your speakers set up? I have a 5.1 system for home theater and have been very happy. That said, with a 5.1 you have 2 main fronts, a center and 2 rears with a sub. If I had an amp that I loved the sound of I would put this on your mains... | |
| Altec Lansing 541B Speakers I'm not finding anything on line for a Altec Lansing 541B. This is a very documented brand, especially the old, really good stuff. I have some of the A7 500's that are not marked anywhere (that I have noticed) with the model number. It just say... | |
| Fedex and Ups Damage thread The key is to pick up and don't trust these people. They won't pay a claim, they simply suck. Also, insurance is no good unless they completely lose it. Was just in Vegas, found a great used place that will not ship anything (they have had too ... | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… I would buy anything but VanAlstine. I had a worse situation with them than scuba535 with Upscale. Granted this was over 20 years ago, but had a very much loved early ss amp of theirs. It went on the fritz, wouldn't power up. Called and was to... | |
| Amp suggestions for a pair of Audio Note AN-K/SP-e (part 2) Decware does a great job of running a pentode tube as a SET. Given your speaker efficiency, should sound wonderful. I have their integrated, but Decware also has monoblocks. I am amazed at how good 6 watts/channel can be. They run a el-34, but... | |
| A nice soulution pair It is truly a challenge of what is exact/precise verses what is music and best captures a recorded performance. I did have a similar love for hearing "everything" and had some Magnepan 3.5 R's. Loved the sound. Listening some of the Beatles rec... | |
| Speaker pairings for Sprout 100 for music listening in medium sized room One nice thing about the sprout is you can load it up and take it places. PS Audio recommends use with the Elac speakers and sell them together. That said, I gravitate to the good old stuff. Charlotte is the nearest big town, these are a coupl... | |
| My thoughts on my First Watt J2 Amplifier First Watt is on my list of things to buy. That said, I have a Nakamichi and a Threshold, both designed by Nelson Pass. Both very uniquely wonderful in what they do. Neither is best suited for my high efficiency speakers though. I'm sure they'... | |
| First Watt Sit-3 paired with Klipsch Cornwall lV? Pretty sure that Steve Guttenberg did a review at one point. Not sure if he has the Cornwall IV's or a earlier version. |
