| Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs I happen to own them both and neither one obliterates the other. They are different paths to the same goal. | |
| Recommendation for a modern Duntech Sovereign 2001 replacement Also worth a look is Verity Audio including the new Otello introduced at Axpona. | |
| McIntosh MC611and MC1.25KW-how do they sound compared to 601's and 1.2KW I have a friend that had them less than a month and even after running them 24/7 with a signal for weeks he found them unlistenable at anything above low levels on both Strad's and Studio 2's. He had previously owned 303, 452, 601's and 1.2kw's i... | |
| Mono Blocks on a Budget, is it possible? There is a pair of recently upgraded Odyssey Khartago Extreme Monoblocks for sale on Audio Circle for $1200. A hard deal to pass up if you have to have Monos. | |
| vandersteen 2w subwoofer The Vandie subs don't care how you achieve the high pass as long as the main amps are crossed at 80hz. | |
| Amp for Odyssey Lorelei Speakers? As an owner of the same type of upgraded Lorelei's as stereo5 I would agree that Odyssey amps would be the first choice but if you are determined to look at the all in one integrated amps I would look at the Nuprime IDA-16. | |
| Linear Tube Audio MZ2 Preamp - has anyone compared it to....... TerryDid Mark give any reason for why they have balanced input but no balanced output even if it was just "convenience" pair? | |
| Inexpensive Tube Integrated Amp (Hybrid) To Use With Coincident Speakers Coincident in fact makes an integrated amp for $1499. You should talk to Israel and see if that is enough power for your needs as well as inputs.http://www.coincidentspeaker.com/review-dynamo34se-mkii-jun2017.htmlhttp://www.coincidentspeaker.com/... | |
| Subwoofer for Ayre AX-7e? As someone who has ownand used a pair of Vandersteen 2WQ's for many years I don't think either they or the new Vandersteen subs would ever work with the speakers you have now that have a minimal bass response in the 50's hz range.That is not the t... | |
| Recommendation for a modern Duntech Sovereign 2001 replacement Since your in the NYC area you might want to reach out to Carl at Nola in Brooklyn and see if you can visit the factory and look at the speakers from the KO Series 2 on up. There should also be dealers in the immediate area. Also the Devore Gibb... | |
| Stand mounts for VAC 160i? (Nola Boxers?) Nola Contenders would also be a good match unless you want to stick with monitors. Carl's speakers are voiced and shown with VAC and ARC tube amps. | |
| Amps for Vandersteen 3a Sigs The McCormack should be a great match but if he feels the need to change for more power the Odyssey Kismets are a great match with Vandersteen as is the PS Audio BHK 250. Dave Clark of PFO is running the Quatro Wood CT with the BHK. I ran Odyssey... | |
| Anthony Gallo Ref 3 - Bass Solutions with Tube Amp Why wouldn't something like this work just as well, and it has individual channel level controls. http://www.soundcity.com/page.php?pg=product&id1=547&id3=11&mcat=HOMEAUDIO&product_id=539 | |
| Tube amp for JMR Trentes? BudrewThe standard recommendations for the Reynauds are the Audiomat's and Audion's. The Trente's don't need that much power and you are right they do prefer tubes. Good choices might be the "highly regarded Cayin TA-30 or the ASL 1003-DT. Both ar... | |
| Trelja's new tube amplifiers - Granite 860.1 TreljaI agree with you whole heartedly,not only about the amps, but about Don. I have owned the 860.1's for almost three years and during that time have had dozens of conversations with Don about the amps and ways to tweak the performance. He is a... |
