| High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps? Thanks, Mike . . . State College is a doable trip and after a few googles that seems like a helluva deal on them, but still a "tad" over my budget, and from what I read, they are "big room speakers"? | |
| One answer to an oft-asked question. I used to listen a lot to a public radio station, 91.3 WYEP, out of Pittsburgh, and they used to play a lot of great stuff and artists that were off of the beaten track. I don't listen to music very much in my vehicle anymore, but when I do find... | |
| Listening Room Thanks indeed. Your behaviour here seems to almost return back to respect of others... @mahgister , did I ever begin a post by referring to someone as a "coward liar" or an "idiot" or accuse them of "hatred"? I can only think of one such thre... | |
| Listening Room I pointed to your repeated insinuation here (2 times) about the OP identity instead of genuine interest in the thread matter Again, Saint @mahgister , when I saw the similar screen name I was genuinely curious, so I asked, and since I thought ... | |
| High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps? Thank you for the input, @avanti1960 , I did a quick google and the Pure Audio Project Duet 15 is a bit out of budget right now. I am not quite as excited about the Fortes as I was last night (last night I was thinking that in the morning, or on... | |
| Marantz SA10 sacd player Ismmatthew more likely pick stereo rehab to install it. @jayctoy , where is Stereo Rehab located? | |
| Listening Room This dude always aimed at character it seems ... Sorry you found the question I asked the OP (of this thread) to be offensive, Saint @mahgister , I am genuinely curious as to whether the OP is @jerryg123 . Quite a similar screen name he pic... | |
| High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps? . . . back to power cords and speakers, @mrdecibel , a power cord upgrade is an easier component to entertain playing around with than a speaker upgrade is. Even on the level of a one thousand dollar power cord (although I would have to think har... | |
| High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps? @mrdecibel , well, "nauseous" was hyperbole. As is "nails on a chalkboard." What I would say, in all honesty, is that I find poorly mastered and/or recorded CDs to be lifeless and un-engaging with a very flat sound stage. Often I find them to sou... | |
| High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps? I am very sorry if my words are taken hurtfully. Not at all, @mrdecibel . I value your input! As far as my questions regarding power cords and my interest in speakers: back when I bought the SA10 the salesman from MD told me that it would re... | |
| High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps? @jc4659 , I actually wasn’t worried about not enough power, I was worried that too much power might not be compatible with a sensitivity of 99? My ancient B&Ws are listed as being 87, and my Cary has no problem at all driving them in 50 wpc t... | |
| High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps? Thanks @hilde45 , I think that one of the sites that I did a quick pass through was the Klipsch forum and I am not sure what the original thread topic I clicked on was, but I remember a bit of an argument about whether the Forte IV would be too m... | |
| High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps? @oddiofyl , what catches my interest is their small foot-print. It’s almost as small as the B&Ws I am currently running. They are actually lower than the B&Ws. I don’t think that they would overwhelm the room. I guess what I was initiall... | |
| Listening Room @jgjg123 , JerryG123, is that really you???? Hello to all, I think this is a situation many audiophiles find themselves in: That being your listening room is NOT a dedicated room that your expensive audio system resides in. You do NOT have a c... | |
| Surge protector @jea48 , I continue to follow this thread with interest. I did go to Lowe’s site and find their listing for the Siemens FirstSurge 140-kA Indoor and Outdoor Surge Protective Device. After reading the second to last post you made, it got me wonde... |
