| Help? Bi-Amping With A Pair of Roksan KA-1 Amplifiers I think I would call Roksan back, and ask to speak to a technician about bi-amping with their amps....sounds like you got someone who obviously didn’t know. You could also stop and visit with a dealer to get some input.Since you have the two amps ... | |
| Best way to measure an Amp's power capability Measurements generally give very few useful insights about how something sounds. Unless there’s some specific requirement that most amps can’t handle, I pay little to no attention to measurements because it’s too easy to set the measurements up to... | |
| For anyone who moved from tubes to solid state — a question I switched back to solid state because it produced better clarity. That’s important if you like large symphonic works with lots of subtle detail. Tubes smeared the detail It’s worth pointing out that the tubes "you" were using smeared the detail,... | |
| Are all Audiophiles masocists? You still have woodworking, photography, and boating to try! Lots of rabbit holes to go down with all of those! :-D | |
| Turned Off My Subwoofer ... And My Speakers Sound Great The only way I like my sub is at the lowest frequency crossover setting, and the gained turned down so that I rarely even know it’s on. I also much prefer the high level input from the amp vs the line input from the pre. | |

| nobsound el34 8 watt rms with vienna acoustics bach grand speakers 4ohm 90 db ?nobsound I used the Nobsound 6.8w with 89db, 4 ohm speakers as an interim fix for a while. It sounded surprisingly good, but didn’t have bottom end bigger amps have. It would play loud enough to annoy my wife, but could run out of steam if pushed hard. for... | |
| For anyone who moved from tubes to solid state — a question It seems like every time I hear the term "tube sound" as it relates to solid state, it only addresses a perceived softer tonal balance, but misses the "view" into the recording studio that I get from tubes, so it ends up kinda dull. Inversely, th... | |
| For anyone who moved from tubes to solid state — a question I’ve owned and heard a lot of SS over the years, some of them really well regarded amps in great systems. Once I re-tubed my stock Dynaco ST-70, my listening experience changed for the better. It was more than just better clarity...somehow the mus... | |
| What other hobby... woodworking | |
| Will floorstanders work in a small listening room? You’d have to try it to know for sure, and it depends floor treatment and other furniture in the room, but those B&Ws seem like a lot of speaker for a room that small. Placement will be critical. Small woofers in transmission lines or sea... | |
| ... Should I be concerned? Try it and see what you think. Just be conservative. You can always put it back if you don’t like it. | |
| What is ideal dimension size for a home listening room? 20' x' 24' x 9'. Textured ceiling, wall to wall carpet, one end opens to a dining room with a vaulted ceiling, lots of upholstered furniture. | |
| Tweeter life If they're working well, why replace them at all? | |
| What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1 +1 on the VTA amps by Bob Latino. They offer striking improvements in clarity, soundstage, and dynamics to an already very good stock Dynaco circuit. |
