| Amp with best bass control Yea. Plus you need to buy his speaker cables to soften the stab to the ears. | |
| Does Avalon speakers have a house sound? I hear that you have to match them with cables twice their price. | |
| Will high SPL subwoofers damage planar speakers? Agree 100% w Rrog's comments. My 989s went into protection mode everytime I play orchestral pieces with cymbals eg. Rach II 3rd mvt. Whether your run a crossover to move the bass to a sub is irrelevant. Want to play loud? get Wilsons. | |
| Amp with best bass control Tube Research Labs Samson (they are solid state). Your ears wont bleed from the steely highs you get from the "K" brand. | |
| Zero Negative Feedback Amps with High Power My VAC Phi 70 monos (300B PP no feedback) and Counterpoint are of zero NFB design.Transient control is a bit of an issue with them.They sound very "open" and "airy" when playing simple passages.

| No bass in the Proac Response 3 It's amp matching. Use a tube amp that normally might sound thick and flabby and bass will come back. I have heard response 3s before and bass is quite lean. | |
| What might cause LOUD hum in a Conrad Johnson pv6 One RCA socket lost ground from the cable yanking. Love the tube dampers. Add heat and cause users to buy lots of replacement tubes:) | |
| Best way to warm up the sound I hope this thread doesn't go the direction of "buy $10k or more worth of cables" | |
| Tara Labs The One SC and Avalon Speaker cables cost more than speakers, reality check. | |
| Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio Regarding Avalons it's the mid driver. There is a measurable peak at 1.8 - 1.9khz with the Accuton ceramic mid. Add to it the dispersion characteristics of the drivers makes it VERY susceptible to early reflections. Ceiling treatment is a must and... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Next thing you know the fake ones sound better than the real thing :) | |
| Cables more hype than value? $14950 a meter. Wonder how many Chinese knock off artists are reading this. Time to stop the line of Aodiqwests :) |
