| Any reccomendations for amplifiers for my Quad 988 Your amplifier is fine with this type of speaker. My friend even uses the lower power Quickie Triodes with the 988 and it is sufficient as long as you don't ask the speaker to do things it wasn't meant to do. If you consistenly listen to orchestra... | |
| Avantgarde Trio replacing Dunlavy SC-V? I agree with Onhwy61 and they will like prescribe ASC tube traps to alleviate your bass problems.I've only heard the IV/A but those speakers when driven properly do have huge macrodynamics/bass that requires room management but on the other hand i... | |
| amp matches for cj premier 17ls I would try MF2500A (great used prices on Audiogon) or if you have a larger budget the Prem 350.Good Luck!*>) | |
| What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers? The top cone speakers today happen to be Spendor, Harbeth, ATC, PMC, Living Voice, Goldmund, Eggleston, JM Reynaud, JM Labs and yes it would include Avalon, Kharma, Vandersteen, Von Scheikwert, TAD, Thiel, Proac.I don't think it's silly to compare... | |
| YBA 2 Alpha preamp and general preamp questions Hi Demetris,I still remember to this day, circa 1995, how a salesman did a demo for me on a system consisting of YBA cd 3, YBA pre 2, YBA amp 2, Apogee Slant 6, monster cables using the Chesky Ultimate demo disk. The other amp cycled in was Simaud... | |
| What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers? Hi Photon46,I am also using box speakers now, Spendor S8e, and have no regrets moving from MG12/QR.The S8e is better in every catergory than the Maggie.I believe panels had their advantages back in the 80's ad 90's but top cone speakers have surpa... | |
| Spendor S8e, Dynaudio Focus 220, VA Grand Mozart Hi Aktchi,If you can find a vintage Klipsch LaScala with Bob Crites crossover that could do the trick or sticking with whats available today I would look into Harbeth M40, Spendor SP100, Living Voice Avatar OBX-R2 (they might have an internal cros... | |
| What's your system response on " Feels like home" I actually think it's a good recording and fuller sounding than "Come Fly Away With Me" which is also still a good recording too!*>) | |
| Sound traps/acoustic panels to improve the sound I tend to agree with the above that's why ASC tube traps are so good. They have a broad band absorption coefficient and you can tune for diffusion or absorption depending on how you position the tube trap in the room. RPG products are good too. Ca... | |
| Mccormack DNA125 or Belles 150A Hot Rod Sorry! Forget my post I misread your inquiry as looking for budget amps and did not realize you have already narrowed down our choices.Good Luck!*>) | |
| Trying out a tube preamp Try a used c-j 17LS2 there are some available used.Good Luck!*>) | |
| Mccormack DNA125 or Belles 150A Hot Rod I Just bought an Audio Refinement Multi-2 ($795 Spearit & Sound) as a back up and its a sweet performer with musical finesse. Now its got me thinking about their Passion 400 amp.Good Luck!*>) | |
| speaker recomendation Try Spendor S3/5 or S3/5e.Good Luck!*>) | |
| The most emotional amp out there? I just bought an Audio Refinement Multi-2 amp to use for the summer time. The presentation in the mids is still not human like which tubes can do better. But this little amp as finesse and for the first time I can hear the interplay of different h... | |
| Spendor S8e, Dynaudio Focus 220, VA Grand Mozart Hi Aktchi,I have never heard the Spendor SP1/2e. I started out with the S3/5 (which I still own). I was also tempted to go try the SP1/2e but didn't want to invest in the stands and the dealer didn't have that model in at the time. From what I am ... |
