| Tube Match question for Tekton Speaker & Dennis Had Inspire Firebottle The Moabs in my place are not bi-ampable. I keep thinking I'm just lucky because for my musical focus I rarely break 10 on the preamp dial. Things pump up into the 90db range very quickly, even on 9 watts, and I want to be listening to music in te... | |
| Tube Match question for Tekton Speaker & Dennis Had Inspire Firebottle The "Firebottle" only has one 'tap.' Dennis claims the unit can drive speakers from 2 to 20 ohms. This amp runs low wattage: KT88's push 11 wpc; KT77's push 9wpc.I assume this could prolong tube life. Also, the Moabs are known to be easy to drive,... | |
| MHDT Orchid TUBE ROLLING My Orchid should arrive in the next week or so... I've purchased the Bendix 2C51, which has arrived. I see 2C51 printed on the side. Is there any reason to believe this will perform differently than those marked with 6385, and can anyone comment o... | |
| Musical Paradise MP-D2 MK3 DAC @jjss49 I appreciate the comparison to MHDT DACs and this is my precise position, looking toward these two entities and their products. Clearly, these two companies are building gear that surpasses such notables as the Schiit Bifrost and the Denaf... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts There's some utility in that statement. I've found this phenomenon, even in the political. If it makes you feel good or powerful, OR others made to seem weak, dangerous or pathetic, you will stick with it.what if you determine it hurts others - th... | |
| Calling for recommendations: Speakers for a very lively room Oh! Another I'm interested in:The Airmotiv B1+ by Emotiva | |
| Calling for recommendations: Speakers for a very lively room @russ69 I have thought about the LRS, but I understand they need to be out about 3-4' from the wall. Also, they are power-hungry, no? Would 75 wpc using a Nuforce STA200 do the job? I don't think so... not from what I've heard of Maggies. I will n... | |
| Calling for recommendations: Speakers for a very lively room @speakermaster What do you suggest? I'm timid about old used equipment. I've done well with new used. Bought the fire bottle a year ago and saved a few hundred, but it was only months old... | |
| Calling for recommendations: Speakers for a very lively room Hello, everyone... I appreciate the thoughts. I'm reading critique of horns and I wonder if this extends to the narrow dispersion characteristics found in the Klipsch 500/600M's. Soft dome actually makes sense... Again, thinking under $1300, what ... | |
| An untamed room and a vivid speaker... @djones51 I appreciate the push. I'm there. I've done everything I can with what I have. Not interested in spending hundreds on professional treatments and the like. The Klipsch bookshelf speakers have never sounded so good in comparison to the he... | |
| An untamed room and a vivid speaker... I worked with the speakers for several hours this weekend. I aimed them to cross in front of me, padded the floor, tipped them back a bit. Adjusted them back out a bit, back in, back out, back in, you know how it goes...Improvement was seemingly i... | |
| VTL's and KT88's? Where are you all sourcing your Shuguang WE-KT88 plus tubes? Thank you. | |
| In my comparison experiment, go Lore or Lore Reference, or something else, for the same $ @cat_doorman Thanks for the alert!Very interesting to see his "decision" and I will be greatly interested to hear what the Zu DW mk II has to offer, after it enters my home in about a month. I've opted for a cap upgrade, to the Jupiters, which is ... | |
| In my comparison experiment, go Lore or Lore Reference, or something else, for the same $ Rockport Atria II: 150lbs each 43.5" high and $26,500. Please read the original post, ebm. | |
| In my comparison experiment, go Lore or Lore Reference, or something else, for the same $ Hi Mofo. Feel free to hang out. Do you have a favorite speaker in the price range? |
