| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often @mrdecibel there are a few tube amps that can power the apogee scintilla and full range, most of them have 1ohm taps. There is a guy that used to post on the apogee forum that is powering his apogee full range with Tube Research Labs amps, four m... | |
| Big Krells Have Vanished From The Used Market Which service tech is it? A few of them charge more than krell does. | |
| Axpona 2023 I doubt that, I've heard plenty of all in one actives at AXPONA as a matter of fact, was never impressed. Not saying active is bad, just the all in one, I've heard a couple active systems that the owner picked his own amps and that was definitely ... | |
| Speakers and amplifiers show audiophiles are confused. @donavabdear I have been to AXPONA a few times, and I heard some expensive Focal speakers that sounded terrible the first time and very good the second time I heard them, so there are a number of factors that can cause this, not just the room or t... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often Why do some tube amps have the power to drive apogee scintilla and full range speakers, the specs certainly don't tell you this would work. | |

| Budget re-cabling @kraftwerkturbo actually the bigger the connector the more the losses, the connector is the weak point. | |
| DAC for second system Consider a Topping DAC. A friend of mine bought a Topping DAC, he's just getting into audio, he said the topping sounded the same as his CD player from the 80's, but he did say it made music from his computer sound better. | |
| Technical assistance and recommendations needed @kenjit tuning the room works better. | |
| DAC for second system I thought I the op wanted a DAC? | |
| Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade? @johnk I have noticed that the DIY crowd is the same, they just do it cheaper because they are building it themselves. The DIY forums are filled with I built this because it's better than my last build. | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often Technically Atmasphere is correct, they use the aluminum panel as the voice coil, and they still use magnets. I highly doubt that apogee's suffer from thermal compression, the area is much larger to dissipate heat. I listened to a pair of Diva's t... | |
| Is soundstage DEPTH a myth? @terraplane8bob +1 couldn't agree more with your analysis. |
