| Single ended Power amp recommendation I second the Berning Siegfried, tho I prefer the 811 version (slightly more power and less classic tube sound-more neutral to my ears). | |
| Legacy Audio I used to own the Focus and very much enjoyed them. They have two features which are critical for good sound. They need alot of room. They need to be placed well out into the room to sound right. They produce a prodigious amount of bass. They need... | |
| Question to Levinson DAC Owners I use an Audio Note CDT-2 with my Levinson 36S. I really like the combo. A touch more musical than the Levinson 37. Enjoy listening. | |
| Avantgarde Horns - amps you've tried and love? Check out the Berning Siegfried SET amp. I like the combo of The Duos and Siegfried very much. I have heard the Audiopax and was very impressed. I was not able to A/B compare the Siegfried and the Audiopax. The Siegfried was 1/2 the price of the A... | |
| Otl's with AvantGarde Duos? I am an OTL fan. I settled on the Berning Siegfried amp with my Duos. They sound wonderful together. The Siegfried 811 amp is a SET/OTL, 10 wt/ch. To my mind it combines the intimacy of SET with the speed and transparency of OTL's. Highly recommen... | |
| most analog sounding CDP celebrat, What's the list price of the Reimyo? I also have some questions about the rest of your system. Maybe I could email you if possible? | |
| Transport needed for Mark Levinson No. 36 Consider the Audio Note CDT-2. Sounds great with the Levinson 36S. Enjoy listening. | |
| Best speaker cable in the $2,500 range bombateam6, Almost 2 years ago I searched for new speaker cables. I compared Tara Labs,Omega Micro,Silversmith,Nordost,Purist cables. I liked the Silversmith the best. It had the best combination of detail,transparency,soundstaging,without any sib... | |
| Original Theta Data Transport I owned an original Thaeta transport. The laser burned out twice and then the transport mechanism died within 8 years. This was not fixable unless I acquired the mechanism myself. To be fair, Theta service was excellent: timely and helpful. My rec... | |
| Smooth sounding DAC? sean or audioengr. Would you comment on why nonoversanpling DAC's suffer from diminished dynamics and softened transients. I thought the "softening" of transients was due to lack of ringing of the brickwall filter which causes much of the "digitit... | |
| avantgarde loudspeakers Agree with tbg and topoxforddoc. I listen to my Duos about 12 ft. to the sweet spot. Listening distances < 8 ft. is not advisable. You need that extra distance for multiple driver integration which becomes seemless causing these large speakers ... | |
| Want to buy for a power conditioner? ligi, I've been thinking about the Exactpower conditioner. Did you compare it to any other conditioners? | |
| Leagcy Focus 20 vs Small Watt Tube Amp Bpaulovich, Heard an Air Tight 25 watt/ch tube amp with the Focus speakers. I was surprised how well and how loud the sound was. Very impressive. That said, the Focus impedance drops to 2.7 ohms in the mid bass. This would indicate the necessity o... | |
| avantgarde loudspeakers I think it's a little simplistic to say that DIY is a better way to go. For the vast majority of people it is not. You need three things to accomplish DIY successfully: Time (alot of it), knowledge, experience. To think that you just buy some vari... | |
| Cables for Tenor OTL rmaurin, I have owned the Omega Micro and Silversmith. Before I bought the Silversmith cables, I auditioned the Tara Lab model below The One (forgot the name,Decade?. My impressions with Avantgarde Duos,Berning Siegfried SET/OTL amp,Levinson digit... |
