| Legacy Speakers?? Look on Audiogon right now...a pair of Focus 20/20's for $3300 or the originals for $2400. That is a lot of speaker for the money. Just be sure your amps have the current to control the woofers. Even though they are very efficient, they need power... | |
| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? ESP Concert Grands and Genesis 350 SE (also really liked Coincident Total Eclipses). | |
| I am in the market for a $ 5-6 k monoblock amplif Get some Wolcotts (on used market)....killer on stats. Do some research on them. | |
| Will a Kinergetics KBA 75 amp power Dahlquist DQ10 I have owned the DQ10's on couple of occasions (in the 70's)...they need power (and current). I used the HK Citation 16 and GAS Ampzilla. If on a budget, a couple of suggestions....Odyssey Stratos or an Eagle 2 (or 2C -- or maybe even a Counterpoi... | |
| Best $3,000 speaker/amp combo? Legacy Sig III (or Classics..maybe even Focus if version 1) speakers and Odyssey amp / preamp (or even use a passive preamp to save some $$) -- maybe consider a Plinius integrated amp. Lively, big, dynamic, and exciting sound. In a room that big, ... | |
| Song covers that are better than the originals Sonic Youth --- Superstar | |
| Is the moscode 300 the Best $600 used amp? Moscode 300 will be a huge step up from the B&K. To me the biggest differences will be improved dimensionality, tonality and detail (w/o being over analytical). Just my opinion. I have owned both the 300 & 600 Moscodes (stock & modded)... | |
| Supratek or Rogue? I would buy a Dodd Battery preamp.... my experience is that it will sound better than both the Rogue & Supratek. I have owned all three at different times. Just my opinion. The Audio Valve Eklipse and Aesthetix Calypso are also superior in son... | |
| $3500 to spend on a tube preamp....ideas? Tube Research "Dude".....see threads on this unit. Or a used Audio Valve Eklipse (roll the tubes) or Aesthetix Calypso or used Wyetech Opal. IMO any of my suggestions would be sonically superior to the models listed above..again, just my opinion. | |
| Is speaker accuracy important for a rock speaker? I would consider Legacy speakers. They will rock with slam, good tonality and accuracy. Look for some Legacy 1 (also known as "Classics"). My experience is that they do "rock' better than Klipsch or JBL...plus they sound damned good on jazz and ot... | |
| Best used preamp for $1500? Dodd Battery preamp -- works great with solid state amps. There is one on Audiogon now. Highly recommend. | |
| solid state vs tubes My experience is that a good SS amp (tonally - not bright) with a good to great tube preamp will yield positive results. However, this is system dependent. I use very large, current hungry speakers and a SS amp makes them sing. One must also consi... | |
| Looking for a new tube preamp Buy a Dude....TRL. Others...Wyetech Opal (used), Eklipse, Calypso, Modwright, Dodd. All very good to great. | |

| best towers for $3000 ? There is a pair of Legacy Focus HD on this site right now for $3.5K.....that is the most speaker for the money IMHO. Yeah, a bit more than your $3k but if you can swing it, this is a very good speaker. This is also the most recent version and fixe... |
