| cost no object integrated amps Yeesh, that’s awful.50%! so what’s the latest top dog in SS super integrateds? | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Did anyone find out the price of the O/Twenty? Looks like production was delayed. | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers One thing I'll say is John's finishes always look better in person. As far as light wood speakers go, Dyn and Verity look spectacular in them. Much better than the rosewood alternatives of each. | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? I used to think "super" integrateds were the best value, but now believe a TVC + stereo amp are much better and cost the same. TVC doesn't use a power cord of course, so its just a set of interconnects. | |
| Warm, rich, smooth, 3d tube integrated amp, budget $6000 Jadis is a really good option for this sound and makes great integrateds with much better transformers than most | |
| Mcintosh MC462 versus Luxman M10X If McIntosh was brittle and gritty must have been a system issue. I’ve owned both 601s and the m900. A single Lux isn’t enough in the bass for inefficient speakers like Magico. | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 Look for a 6SN7 preamp- will have much bigger tone | |
| looking to match a new speaker to ARC REF75se Devore is a great match | |
| Wywires Silver to Platinum interconnects. How big an upgrade would that be ? I’d love to hear the difference between Audience au24 and WyWires. Agree that WW are open, natural cables. | |
| Anyone own Linear Tube Audio Amps? LTA is tonally richer, with better flow and dimensionality than Pass. The Pass is slightly warmer, but much less musical. I’ve owned the XA25 and X350.8; heard the X260.8 monos in another setting on my speakers. I’ve also owned the Ref75SE whic... | |
| Anyone own Linear Tube Audio Amps? I own Ultralinear amps on Fyne (modern Tannoy) and it’s a superb match. I had the XA25 before and it did not have superior bass. | |
| Transmission line speakers! Meadowlark used to be the big TL speaker back in the day | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? @fleschler Im in the valley as well | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? You need to find out if cupped hands coloration effects you - I hear it on many horns like Volti. | |
| High Sensitivity, high / flat impedance Speaker Shopping Brad, I run LTA separates with Fyne F1 series and the synergy is exceptional. I came from Zu Def/Devore X. I searched out Verity but had trouble finding a west coast dealer. They also have tricky bass implementation. |
