| What is the best OTL out there? Einstein is another good one. | |
| Quicksilver amps an appropriate match for Wilson Sophia? Bombaywalla- the Sophia 3 was measured by JA at 88.3dbs, actually higher than its specified 87dbs. Its impedance curve doesn't look particularly demanding either.I ran my old Sophias with a BAT-VK75SE and it was a superb combo. I've never heard a ... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Chakster- I would just wait and save for a true Druid V. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup interesting, Spirit. i'm considering the Event 2s with speakon connectors currently. why do you consider it the weak link? i would think the opposit. | |
| 2-Way Advice: Magico S1,YG Carmal,Diablo Utopia since Andrew Jones has left TAD, I wouldn't be inclined to purchase a pair unless signficantly discounted, used. | |
| Magico S5 review I think people's opinion of "driving" a speaker differs dramatically.After hearing the S5s several times (including Vac 450s in a large room), the most successful pairing was on Constellation Centaur- which is 500w into 4ohms. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup I don't have a sub amp upgrade on order, sorry Spirit. I would reach out to Gerrit though. | |
| Tell us your worst audio dealer or mfr. experience. Andy Singer proclaming he had the best ears in the world at the Krell Evo 1 introduction back in 2006. | |
| Isolation Transformers -- Equitech or Torus? Torus is a much easier company to deal with. | |
| DeVore Orangutan 96 an upgrade over DeVore 9? I'm waiting for the Gibbon X to ship so I can finally demo it locally. I would wait to audition both it and the Orangutan.If you only want to use SET amplification, the Orangutan is probably a better fit. | |
| Ayre AX-5 Integrated Amplifier Hegel and Ayre are both no feedback designs, yes? | |
| JC1 upgrade to Lamm M2.2 or dartzeel 108B or Ayre? I've had the Ayre VX-5 and Dart CTH-8550 in my room and the 8550 was simply a better amp as it was more organic/3D. The Ayre had wonderful flow like the Dart and a very natural top end. But it just seemed like 2D images in a 3D landscape if that m... | |
| What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock? Atmasphere- while I tend to agree, many speakers or combos don't exactly rock out.I heard Leben with Harbeth for example at a show that put me to sleep! | |
| Low heat alternative to FIRSTWATT J2 ? Just a small correction- the J2 does have negative feedback.OP: Ayre and DarTZeel are the two A/B amps (cooler) that don't use negative feedback. The latter has a new integrated with built-in DAC which might interest you. | |
| Dartzeel CTH 8550 experience I'm a big fan of the CTH as well. While expensive, I have not felt a need to upgrade in a year of ownership! I preferred it to many tube alternatives as well. |
