| Wilson Audio WATT/PUPPY or Gershman Grand Avant Garde? I bought Gershman Grande Avant Grade.I appears to be power hungry.To crank up, I need to turn the volume to over 12 o'clock on my 100w, 125w, and 150w amps.I don't have such wow feeling that I had with Wilson Watt/Puppy a long time ago at audio sh... | |
| Speakers that can reveal orchestral instruments' positions I would agree that the most important factor is the recording quality. From my collection, The Power of the Orchestra, Moussorgsky, A night ..., Pictures ... (LP, reissue) images much better than most. Definitely I can hear the depth. The problem ... | |
| Speakers that can reveal orchestral instruments' positions Thanks for all replies.Tvad, you are right. I don't get lucky most times to have a mid center seat in concerts. Newbee, you are right. I should just enjoy music, rather than thinking about instruments position.Mozartfan, I like my Tyler, and I had... | |
| Speaker recommendations 10 to 30k and no beryllium If you are close to Toronto, why don't you try Gershman speakers? | |
| $3000 stand mounted speakers? Tyler Linbrook signature system monitor. $3200 without stands. I have a full signature system powered by 40 watt EL34 int amp with no problem. | |
| Hunt for new floor standers Tyler Linbrook signature system. Used ones come at 2K or under. D2 and D20 will be upper 2k. | |
| Wilson Audio WATT/PUPPY or Gershman Grand Avant Garde? Great.Both Gershman AG and Wilson Watt/Puppy became available within driving range from where I live. I'll make a decision by the end of the week.Again, thanks for all input. | |
| Wilson Audio WATT/PUPPY or Gershman Grand Avant Garde? tvad and others,My room (basement) is 15 x 30 x 8. Would it be too small for Watt/Puppy? I am sure it is adequate for Gershman.I am leaning to Gershman, and one of the reasons is that Watt/Puppy may overwhelm my room. And also, it would be a bit h... | |
| Wilson Audio WATT/PUPPY or Gershman Grand Avant Garde? Many thanks.Glad to hear I won’t go wrong with either choice.I have two sets of amp/preamp. Plinius SA 102/Plinius M16P, and Audio Research 150M.2/PrimaLuna Dialogue Preamp. Hope both of them would work well with Gershman or Wilson. | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? I've had PrimaLuna Prologue and Dialougue, Rogue Audio Magnum 99, and BAT VK-30. I liked them all. If I am to pick the best sound, probably Rogue, but the only problem was it was a bit microphonic. Currently I use Dialougue, and I am quite happy ... | |
| Pure Class A SS vs Tube Amp $6K amp for Klipsch KLF-30 may be a bit of over kill.I've had Klipsh KLF-20 (and KLF-C7, KSP6) for over 20 years. Mine is not modified.I've tried a few different amps (NAD, Rotel, Nakamichi, Plinius), and AV receivers (Yamaha RXV-3000, retail $200... | |
| Smoke on my power amp The tech told me that he saw some power resistors got hot, but they were not burnt. According to him, other parts looked OK. | |
| Smoke on my power amp I brought it to service, and the service tech found a few components got hot, but nothing else. He said those components are not really burnt, and can function OK even after got hot and smoked.I brought it back home and tested, and indeed it works... | |
| Smoke on my power amp Thanks masaja415,I did not know about them.I contacted them yesterday. They seem to work on high end audio gears. It is pretty close to where I live. I will give a try.Huge saving for me if they can fix it. | |
| Smoke on my power amp Two hours north of Detroit.If the transistor can be easily replaced, I might try by myself.Thanks for your comments. |
