| Basic question about sensitivity Try Tube Amp(s) now or some day? My friend is currently looking for a pair of 100 wpc tube mono blocks. Very limited, big, heavy, hot, big price @elliottbnewcombjr , I am presently running a Cary tube amp (EL 34s). Prior to the Cary I o... | |
| Peformance at price point for speakers manufactured in China? When it comes to being manufactured in China, the list would be shorter for what isn't. I have no problem with products assembled in China. I wonder how many negative posts and comments are made from an IPhone? Sorry @bigtwin , the point of ... | |
| Basic question about sensitivity @yoyoyaya , thanks, that's interesting (particularly since I am kicking around the idea of upgrading). Given that my 805s are going on 30 yeras old, and taking in account for inflation and technology, how far do you think I'd need to go to make ... | |
| Basic question about sensitivity The B&W 800 series are a good example of speakers that are relatively efficient but difficult to drive. @yoyoyaya , I am running an ancient (going on 30 years old) pair of B&W 805s; I just took a look at the literature that came with th... | |
| Basic question about sensitivity Thank you to all for the informative responses. | |
| Basic question about sensitivity 4. Specific Amplifier Requirements: Harbeth speakers have a nominal impedance of 6 ohms, which can be a challenge for some mainstream amplifiers. These amplifiers may not deliver enough current to drive the speakers to their full potential, poten... | |
| Basic question about sensitivity Higher efficiency = easier to drive. Higher sensitivity = more output at given voltage. When the speaker is 8 Ohms, efficiency and sensitivity are the same. @erik_squires , thank you. The Monitor Audio Gold 300 5G (sensitivity 90) minimum imp... | |
| What say you binding posts or direct wire? I wonder what no outlets or power cords would do for sonic effect? Instead of hooking the Romex to an outlet, continue the run straight to the equipment and then solder it in? | |
| Mobile Fidelity - SourcePoint 10 Bookshelf impressions? . . . maybe not. One listing for them on them from TMR says they are "SOLD", but then I found another listing for them on ebay from TMR and I assume it must be current because ebay was going to let me buy them and check out . . . maybe that listi... | |
| Mobile Fidelity - SourcePoint 10 Bookshelf impressions? . . . looks like TMR already sold that pair (sn 23 & 24). | |
| Mobile Fidelity - SourcePoint 10 Bookshelf impressions? Thanks, @soix , I was just now doing some searches and reading on the JA Prism. I am intrigued by what I have read. Have you bought from TMR before? Thanks again. | |
| Mobile Fidelity - SourcePoint 10 Bookshelf impressions? @kennyc , thank you for sharing your impressions. | |
| Mobile Fidelity - SourcePoint 10 Bookshelf impressions? 750 off for a openbox is not a bad deal and musicdirect has a 60 day SG return policy. If you don't like it, you can return/get your cash back. @deep_333 , I was thinking along those lines also. | |
| Mobile Fidelity - SourcePoint 10 Bookshelf impressions? @ozzy62 , yes, MD was pushing them pretty hard for a while, but it's been some time since I have got an email from them about those speakers being part of some kind of sale. @soix , thanks. Do you have personal experience with those speakers? ... | |
| Ideas for Pre/Power $9000? @lfromsalem , my next upgrade (if it ever happens) will be speakers, so I am always kind of interested in the impressions that others are getting from their speaker auditioning experiences. Do you think that the reason you were less than impress... |
