| What speakers for 300B S.E.T ?? In hooking up my 300B SET amps to my Silverline SR17 monitors (89 db) I've found they can play at very conservative volumes, but the limits of headroom approaches rapidly as you increase the volume to more engaging levels of listening (for me this... | |
| How do I keep my cats off my amplifier? Yet another good reason for a tube amplifier...one of the OTL designs oughta do it! If you just gotta keep the Integra, and you happen to live near Seattle, I'd be happy to bring Diesel (see my system pics) over for a few minutes . He'll take care... | |
| What speakers for 300B S.E.T ?? Any of the Klipsch Heritage series from the late 70's / Early 80's. In your price, LaScala for sure, Cornwall's, or Heresy's if wanting to keep the investment lower (though you will miss some bass authority here you should still get a very good se... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Ain't dead yet Quadophile. Still loving the 300B SET sound in THIS world for now. Don't know whether I trust the dude with the beard and and sun rays all around his head though...something about that tail and that damn pitchfork he carries around ... | |

| Room treatments without $$$ Go to Home Depot, or your local flavor of Hardware Warehouse store. Go to the concrete department. Look for the tubular cardboard concrete molds. At Home Depot I bought some in an 8-inch diameter for about $6 each I think. These are heavy cardboar... | |
| Madeline Peyroux/dreamland Funny, I got that CD back in 96 when it came out and I don't remember it being that way. I also don't recall it being HDCD though. I'll have to take another listen as I have not listened to it lately because I "overplayed" it back then. Her new CD... | |
| How do I let go...the “D” word Hey Rosstaman - Congratulations on a new start...sounds like some exciting and difficult transitions. I'm sorry for the difficult part and hope the good stuff makes it worth it. So my question is not at all about stereo gear, but rather your decis... | |
| Looking for an acoustic guitar recording.. A couple of great jazz guitar selections:Joe Pass, Viruoso (XRCD 20-Bit remastering) - fantastic recording - beautiful music.Marc Ducret, Detail (this one's more of an improv performance so don't go for it if you aren't into it...the recording is ... | |
| Music for the spirit and the soul Chipman, The Hillard Ensemble has done some great work with both Arvo Part and Gavin Bryars. If you enjoy Bach, try the disc Morimur for a creative take on that composer. Marco | |
| Music for the spirit and the soul Chipman - My route was more straightforward I suppose (I do enjoy Cocteau Twins, as well as Gerard and DCD - I saw Gerard perform here in Seattle - unforgettable!). I was approached by a good friend to help him upgrade his current system (this see... | |
| Music for the spirit and the soul Chipman - Les Voix Humaines is one of my most frequently played CD's of the past few months. Definitely a must...Magic! I agree also on Diaspora Sefardi as well. The collection of Marais and Sainte Columbe titled "Pieces de Viole" is also quite ou... | |
| Can tube amps play loudly? Chris- So then the answer to your question is an resolute "yes" tube amps can play "loudly" and be very satisfying at those volumes. My point was that it may not necessicarily be the information you were after as it really speaks nothing to the qu... | |
| Can tube amps play loudly? This may be a terrible stereotyping thing I'm doing here, but I might suggest merely by the content of your query that you may want to investigate your reasons for wanting to go in the directions of tubes more thoroughly than you are in this query... | |
| Music for the spirit and the soul Chipman - I'm green with envy that you Savall and Figueras in Paris. That must have been an unforgettable experience. I heard Savall play recently here in Seattle, and, though his wife was in attendance, she did not perform. His daughter was playi... |
