| Watts and power Instead of starting a new thread, I thought I would drop in a question on these same issues: I've been running a Nuforce STA200 with two 8ohm speakers, horn loaded, so the sound emerges with little effort and the amp runs cool. However, now I'm bu... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @oorelli I'm working with a Schiit Saga, inclusive of both SS and Tube options; a modi DAC; a Cambridge transport; the NuForce STA200. If necessary, I can use my Marantz SR5013, which is how I work the HT. I talked to Eric about the amplifier and ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I'm receiving quite a bit of assistance here, so thank you. @jcarcopo (or others) What is the "good way" of projecting vocals? How would this contrast with a horn? How would it contrast with other designs that you have experienced? What would you... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Ok, so here's my question... please center your mind on my room. It's 12' by 14.6'. The ceiling, at the far lengths drops to nine feet and then rises at the mid-mark of the room (6' in) to a high points of 11'. It's something of a cathedral style.... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @jcarcopo Thanks for the reflections... Perhaps in white they will blend in with the walls, as they will end up forming a significant portion of the wall at 69" and width. MOABs sound like a riveting option. I have a question, as I haven't heard a... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I do mainly listen to acoustic music. Take Cassandra Wilson's "New Moon Daughter" and you have a template for my musical path in recent months. Mainly, I go with unplugged fare, and I love Jazz. Classical has been big for me, but not so much in re... | |
| Time to move UP, speaker-wise... The newer Vandersteens are highly attractive, but the Treo, new, comes in around $9000.00. That's quite a jump, from my $3000 limit. I have always been able to do amazingly well in the lower price ranges, and as I don't have buckets of cash and no... | |
| Time to move UP, speaker-wise... Four drivers were found dead, across the two Vandersteen 2CI's. I could have had them repaired but I doubted that the investment would return the sound to its former glory. I did send them in to the local shop and the cost of repairs would have be... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts So, I've been joyfully researching and mulling the possibilities (of Tekton and other speakers - mostly Vandersteen) for a few weeks - you know how it goes. I have an important question with respect to how this plays out... room size... I have onl... | |
| Time to move UP, speaker-wise... Hello all who are contributors of this thread... I've studied the speakers, but only in text form, associated with each recommendation. Some of the stand-mounts seem to reach into the lower registers, although the Vandersteen stand mounts would in... | |
| Time to move UP, speaker-wise... I appreciate the responses, thus far... I've looked back into the Vandy scene, and the price of the new Vandy Treo CT at $9000 and the Quattro at $15,500 is prohibitive. I love Vandersteen, but I'm going to need to draw the line at around $3,000'i... | |
| CD player/transport options, for your analysis The Sony does not have a digital out. The back-panel is bare, with the exception of the out-going power cable and RCA nubs.My budget for a CD/transport is under $750. I'm going into a Schiit Saga (tube & ss). Then I hop into a NuForce STA200.... | |
| How to stream with a pre-amp It works, beautifully. I thought the added unit would cloud the signal, but not so. Thanks again. | |
| How to stream with a pre-amp Thanks - that helps.In terms of service, mostly Spotify, running the 320kbps. The Marantz AVR houses everything - it streams. Here are a few notes about the Marantz: HEOS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and AirPlay 2 CapabilityDual antenna system lets you strea... | |
| How to stream with a pre-amp and YES, the AVR has a built in DAC. |
