| Which one to choose between two 80K$ tube amps? and those very high impedance speakers just don’t cut it when the music gets really complicated. the superb aspects of those speakers becomes just ok to good when things really start cranking and wild.Avantgarde Trios with basshorns can't do this?... | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 @georgehifi what would you recommend for YG Hailey 2.2s? Unfortunately not sure measurements available and they are more efficient than the Sonjas and older Haileys. | |
| Speaker Suggestion for Audio Research VSi75 Devore and ARC work really well. | |
| Tube Preamp with Solid State Amp? The tube amp is where the real magic is - actually a SS preamp with tube amp makes more electrical sense as well than the reverse. | |
| Lamm pre amp I’m worth I’m with thanasakis- MF baby reference has beaten 4-5 tube preamp’s in my system and isn’t cold or lean like a resistor passive. | |
| Jeff Rowland to what? @ricred1 any other amps you’ve compared JRDG with recently? I’d like to try a 625mk2 myself. | |
| Magico vs the world I own Hailey 2.2s actually, nice snarky comment.I've heard M, S, and Q all in dealer demos, auditions, and/or at shows. Numerous amps too (except Pass which a friend runs with apparent success). The best I've heard them was on was Gryphon. I was v... | |
| Magico vs the world Still haven’t heard a musically convincing Magico system in a decade. They are analytical, non-dynamic, and not particularly coherent. YG is a much better speaker in aluminum land. | |
| Opinions please - Rowland 625 S2 vs Luxman M900u ? Dave - had the exact same issues with the Lux in my system. If it’s just not a synergistic match, I’d move on vs playing with cords and stuff as tone controls. You’ll be trading one issue for another. Find the right amp, then settle on cables. | |
| Luxman m-900u owners - quick question No, the Hailey | |
| Luxman m-900u owners - quick question Tried a m900u on my YGs and while it had nice tone and texture, was kinda limp and non dynamic with no bass. My guess is I would have required monos for my tastes.beautiful unit though | |
| YG speakers: What do you like most and least about them? I find the best thing about them is the coherency - that's where they have a big edge on Wilson, Magico, etc. They also have an "aliveness" that some other sealed box speakers lack. The big negative is they really need 400 watts into 4 ohms to sna... | |
| Separates or Integrated? What makes more sense? Just make sure the integrated has a real preamp section, not just a volume control. Have owned a bunch, but the only integrated I will own in the future is a Viva Solista- as it’s a piece of art. Ive since moved to a Music First TVC with amp combo... | |
| Best speaker between 15K-35K Pulling a 15 year old thread back is sweet. | |
| Anyone experienced the Luxman MQ-300 or/and The Air Tight ATM-300R? MSRP is higher than $20k and used to be closer to $30k. And you can’t buy new Lux at 30 off no matter what price. Good luck trying though. |
