| Mastersound Amps. Anything similar you'd recommend A SET amp needs to be matched to loudspeakers since most SETs are low power even the largest are only 40 watts or so sure a few very costly exceptions. SETS have trouble with low ohm loads and if loudspeaker impedance is too low reduced bass and t... | |
| Avantgarde Duos - right for me? Bass integration is not mute at 14ft maybe in your room or its just not a problem for you. But in my rooms distance didn't mater sit to far image suffers sit to close integrations worse. Duos design is a comprise and sometimes the performance show... | |
| Can good speakers take edge off digital? One problem is most loudspeakers cheap out on the tweeter. Toss in system mismatch, poor dac etc and you get harsh edgy sound. Tweeters are hard to build right and the ones that do sound good are costly. | |
| Mastersound Amps. Anything similar you'd recommend I own a master sound and it will not drive the PMC. If going with a SET amp purchase loudspeakers designed for such use. As far as low priced amps near the sound quality after owning over 30 SET amps I can not think of any. But wright 2a3 or 300b ... | |
| May go back to Tannoys, which Monitor Gold for Me? Tannoy dmt 215. Dual 15in same 15in concentric as Churchill but you get a extra 15in for much better bass. | |
| impedance vs sensitivity No, Low power is not enough for low ohm loads they need more power. Tube amps do not do well with low ohm loads unless designed for it. Your bass will suffer if loudspeakers below 4ohms and run on a low to med power tube amp. | |
| impedance vs sensitivity Yes it is possible. Desirable maybe not at least at 1ohm but possible. Would you like me to build you a loudspeaker with such specs? I have a loudspeaker in my office 92.5db 1 watt 4ohms. Sure many others available near this spec. | |
| Musical full-range in the $3-4K range used? KCS exotic new $3999 shipped | |
| Avantgarde Duos - right for me? I used 300b amps on my duo 2.2. All the SETs I tried worked well. AG is good but for the cash you can do better in front horns. You can set up a front horn in most any size room depends on design. They dont need as much room as most think but some... | |
| Emerald Physics: Same as the Quads in the fifties? Klangfilm and other companies made similar designs in the 40s 50s. Nothing at all revolutionary about this design. The only thing is using DSP to get bass out of the loudspeaker. Takes modern tech to do that but I prefer generating bass without DS... | |
| MDF versus Baltic Birch? I use a professional grade spray on adhesive. Only $250 for a recharge ouch. it also dampens cabinets. But I have used similar to tight bond which is good. | |
| high end jbl or horns or emerald physics c1 Look into Tannoy before you decide. I have owned most all vintage Klipsch am I altec JBL collector as well as other vintage loudspeakers. And a Tannoy monitors is a good step up in performance over the vintage kit. Some guys have near give away pr... | |
| MDF versus Baltic Birch? MDF is poor choice for loudspeaker cabs. Sure easy to work with and afordable but veneers don't hold as well to MDF as ply its easy to veneer MDF but venners will lift off MDF. MDF will absorb water like a sponge. MDF strores energy which colors s... |
