| Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary That's right, MoFi is getting aggressive. They also paired this setup with a MoFi turntable and a nice cartridge that wasn't Lyra expensive. I think it made a statement. I was very impressed with the turntable too. Competition is really great... | |
| Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary @big_katydid , that's a very interesting point and it's where I am at too in some real ways. There were a couple of loudspeakers I heard at AXPONA that were amazing but for the most part I have 3-4 sets of speakers that compete really well with m... | |
| Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary I have heard the Denton 80th. I bought a pair for my father. The Linton is not harsh or shrill--at least with my gear, in my room. It sounds better than the Denton as it covers a broader frequency range. I haven't tried the Linton with solid st... | |
| Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary @big_katydid, like you I wondered the same thing—all my current speakers cost more than double to triple the cost of the Lintons. And now with the Lintons in the system they are sounding just as good. | |
| Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary I agree. I,too, heard them at Axpona. At the show they were fed by an all in one Quad lifestyle integrated, modestly priced. Wharfedale told me they wanted to show off what they could do with reasonably priced equipment. MoFi/Music Direct (the US ... | |
| Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary Thank you Eric!! | |
| Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary @erik_squires Thank you for the suggestion. I may open these up and roll in some high quality caps. I hope they have values on them!Oh, and you're right...Wharfedale soft dome tweeters are really excellent. They are so smooth sounding without los... | |
| Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary Great questions and points. I've had them for a few days only. I plugged them into my 300B amp first, knowing that they would be underpowered; the 300B was already hooked up. The 300B wasn't great at driving them. Sounded fine, but I knew they... | |
| Anthem has a sale next month Eric you are the man. | |
| Ahhh--Problem solved. Adding a REL sub-bass unit... @bstatmeister, I go by sound more than specs. I can tell you the T9i sounds musical and integrates well. I tune the REL by ear more than anything. I have software and a mic to tune it but I get to ideal integration by tuning by ear. I sometime... | |
| Spendor D9 vs. PSB T3 speakers. I haven't heard the Spendor D9s, but I would expect them to be glorious. I have, however, heard the PSB T3s. They are a wonderful speaker and worth every penny. I heard them with a Primaluna Dialogue integrated with stock tubes (so not much wat... | |
| Tubes or stick with S/S @OP, I own the Primaluna Dialogue HP integrated. It's great. I do, however, think, you might want to try a SET amp. You do not need much power to make those C-Walls sing. I should know. Why? Because I have Klipsch Forte IIIs (in addition to l... | |
| Preamp Question Millercabon, Your advice is smart and your post funny. Nice work. Modifying the Elekit is not going to work because there's limited room inside the chassis to tie in another set of RCA inputs. And, even if I did, it wouldn't give me a remote. I... | |
| Preamp Question Thanks for all the recommendations. I'm off to research. Others, please keep them coming! | |
| My system sounds better than ever.......Yet, I STILL bought another preamp!! @dweller, the forte iiis are one of severeL sets of loudspeakers I have. I run them off a 9 watt SET amp and also a 35 watt push pull. The are dynamic and sensitive to component changes. I love them. Never was a horn or Klipsch guy. You should ... |
