| Experience with North Creek Speakers Own North Creek Catamounts (Revelator Signature) with Lee Taylor cabinets. Cost about $4,200 shipped and compare, in my experience, to high-end two-ways in the 8-12k range. The Scanspeak Revelator drivers are superb; same for the crossovers parts.... | |
| Aktiv Keltiks or Aktiv Espeks - Which are Better? I owned a an active set of 5140s (upgraded with Espek drivers; only real difference at that point was absence of Espek cabinet modifications)run with three LK100s (and before that active Keilidhs with same amps). Also have listended extensively to... | |
| Maybe too detailed So get this--I just put my old Placette passive volume control back in (instead of using digital volume control on Tact 2.2XP) and it took enough of the edge off to make things enjoyable again. Still incredibly detailed and transparent. Would stil... | |
| Maybe too detailed Agree with Photon46--all reports are that the CEC transport has a softer presentation than most, which is why I bought it. That attribute is apparently being overcome by something else, perhaps the jitter scenario described by Audioengr, which is ... | |
| LINN Majik vs Classik vs Wakonda vs Kairn I used to own a Wakonda in a mid-level Linn active system. As part of a new system, I purchased a Placette passive volume control and put it in the Linn system for comparison. It was surpisingly more transparent; it made me appreciate how much the... | |
| Tube Amp Recommendation Thanks for the many informed responses.Doug, I purchased the Catamounts with the Scanspeak Revelator tweeters and mid-woofers, which I hope will result in a refined and revealing two-way that supposedly reaches into the mid-40hz range without a pr... | |
| Linn K 600 cables? Any thoughts? I doubt that K600 will improve speaker performance when run passive (as opposed to a single strand); but if you know you're going to need it in one year when you go active, might as well make the investment now, as opposed to buying another cable ... | |
| Linn AV 5140 active ? I used to run these speakers passive and am now doing so active with 3 LK100s (discontinued Linn amp). Run active, they have much more punch, more clarity, and better sound and image seperation. I do not know why, but they are louder now (I do not... | |
| Linn av5140 feedback? I have a set that are tri-amped (older LK100s)with active cross-overs in the amps. Good mid-level speaker, especially run active (I thought they were a little flat and lifeless run passive). Very quick with a strong, deep punch in active mode. Lin... |
