| How important is component “aesthetics” to you? Speaking of topless components, a friend of mine used to leave off the top of his Krell KSA-250 claiming it helped with cooling but he was really showing off the jumbo coffee can size transformer. This practice stopped promptly when a guest left h... | |
| Wilsons are the best speakers in the world To accommodate their 2100 lbs weight, placement can become an important consideration if you place them anywhere except solid concrete slab. | |
| Is it possible to buy a decent tube amplifier in the $2000-3000 range? ’I would think that you would need a powerful tube amp (100-200 wpc) to drive these speakers"Not a tube but there’s a steal of a deal Krell KSA-300s listed for sale right now for $3K and that should drive your speakers with some serious gusto. A 1... | |
| Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp I see a good deal of action on the Tekton DI thread about Aric's amplifiers and makes me glad to see folks continue to support these small one-man operations. Just wanted to share some feedback after having used my Unlimited preamp for over a mont... | |
| Amplifier Starvation "It's obvious that the system needs a connection cleanup every 6 months."Could you please elaborate what this process entails? | |
| Buying used/vintage Martin Logan speakers It sounds like you were just unlucky with your ML experience. I currently have a pair of Aerius i speakers that I bought used from an local original owner, made circa 1998, and they sound excellent top to bottom. I'm thinking even if they serve me... | |
| Is it the beer or do speakers/electronics really need some extended warm-up period? My cat can tell me when my pream/amp has reached its optimal temperature for best sonic performance. He has this look on his face as soon as that point is reached. My ears are too old to tell the difference. | |
| Amplifier matching with omega super Alnico Monitors. Myron, I’m following your feedback with great interest since I’ve been lusting over the Omega’s for a while, particularly their multi-driver (1.5 way) towers. My brother in law lives about 10 minutes away from their workshop in Norwalk Connecticut... | |
| Will preamp manufacturers tell you if the model is phase inverse? Why not switch the input leads at the amplifier instead of the speakers? Is there anything wrong with this approach? | |
| Pioneer HPM-40 Vintage Speakers Those were the first pair of "decent" loudspeakers I bought back in college and had them stored in my basement until a year ago. Came home from work one day and the dear wife (with help from our cleaning lady) decided to clean the basement and the... | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers It looks like some people are simply obsessed with bashing Tekton speakers on every speaker thread regardless of the topic... its just incredibly juvenile. | |
| Don Sach's pre amp I think he’s comparing his newly acquired DS model 2 with the VTA and Candela and saying its got much better sound and build quality.One lingering question; did DS also build the VTA-SP14 preamp before making his own brand? I'm still getting the r... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! I have close friends who have owned a PL preamp with a PL amp in one system and PL integrated in another for several years and have had no issues whatsoever with any of them. I visit them regularly and love the sound they make. So with all due res... | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - owners - heard them! I think your ear/brain will be going through a very steep leaning curve when transitioning from highly efficient single driver full range speakers to any multi-driver large box speaker. I've only heard a couple of single driver models from Charney... | |
| Why is good, deep bass so difficult? - Myths and their Busters "the woofers in his Rythmik subs are servo-feedback controlled"Exactly, because to maintain accuracy and to stay in pace with the "lighter" drivers in the mains, you need a near realtime (servo) feedback mechanism to modulate the movement of the h... |
