SET for Orchestral , Big Band etc.
The magic one gets from SET amps is achieved usually with high-efficiency speakers that can generate high SPLs at low power inputs. What's the sensitivity of your new speakers?If you don't need ear-damaging peak levels, one can use a lower-sensiti... 
Cable auditions - Hard Work?
Mine too are hard work, and I too question whether I'm hearing a difference. Don't know if you've lost it or never had it. :-) I know I've never been a GEA; I have to work to hear differences in cable, electronics, etc.After conditioning it for da...

Power Handling - what's "unclipped programme"
It's music being driven thru the amp at a level BELOW its clipping level, that is, within its power capability.The only way I know of to determine what that is is to view the output waveform on an oscilloscope, not very practible.The speakers are ...

A few systems heard at the Rocky Mntn. audiofest
One way to eliminate one variable--an unfamiliar piece of music or recording--is to bring your own. That's what I did. The Rutter recording played in the Herron room sounded very nice, but I had NO idea what it sounds like on ANY other system.Beca...

A few systems heard at the Rocky Mntn. audiofest
Golden, I wasn't there to hear every system in every room. I was there to see and re-meet a couple manufacturers who have turned into friends over the years, to attend several seminars that looked (and were) worth my time, and to hear some systems... 
Preamp output voltage?
1. Preamp output Voltages are only loosely standardized. The Outlaw receiver may well have as much unclipped output as the Adcom.2. Preamps generally are rated by gain in deciBels. 20dB is 10 times Voltage. (Double or half Voltage is 6dB.) The lin...

Nrchy, no problem. :-)I think Bruce needs to increase his promotion efforts including bringing a full ET-based HT system to these shows.We'll see.The AvantGarde horn system still sounded WONDERFUL..

1. Greg, no, I'm not, even if I already have a pair of great amps (ASL 805s, 50-Watt SETs) to drive them. I'm VERY happy with my Eminent Technology 8s, biamped, with Quicksilver V4s on the MR/treble drivers.2. "They (sic) weren't even playing musi...

Surfgod: "You have to buy whats (sic) reliable & cheap on (sic) this market."Why do we have to do that?BTW I'm using Quicksilver V4s on the MR/treble of the rather insensitive Eminent Tech. 8s, and they (BOTH of them!) sound fabulous...best I'...
