| Question for tube aficionados Telefunkens and Amperex are no better than new tubes like the psvanes... has anyone compared all three side by side?I haven't tried the Psvane, but according to forum members it is a premium quality new production tube at a premium price. A 6SN7 c... | |
| Rookie Question, maybe I don't use the 4 or 8 ohm rating of the speaker to decide which tap to use. As a starting point, I check the impedance curve to see how demanding the load is. But that information isn't definitive.In the end I find that listening to both taps wil... | |
| Just confused about where to start Thanks, looks like a terrific speaker... 87dB, so not very efficient. But 8ohm is good, typically it’s an easier load to drive.Frequency Response down to 45Hz is very good for a bookshelf.This is a very good find. | |
| Just confused about where to start Where did you find the power rating of 100-300w ? | |
| Just confused about where to start Muffinhead, on which speakers did you make an offer?Would it be best if I match receivers to speakers based on wattage? My concern is not getting enough volume. When you select speakers, look at the specs; sensitivity (in dB), nominal impedance, r... | |
| Just confused about where to start and the amp you auditioned? | |
| Just confused about where to start Listened to the Kef LS50’s and thought they sounded like hot garbage. Dark, muddy, poor articulation. No way they’re worth $1000. I listened to a pair of Martin Logan Motion 15’s...sounded great. Almost as good as the more expensive B&W’s t... | |
| Question for tube aficionados I’ve owned the PV-11 for over 20yrs now. It was my main preamp for 10yrs but I have moved onto a AR SP-11 Mk 2. I still have the PV-11 in my collection of preamps. The tubes that sounded the best to me in the PV-11’s linestage is the Amperex 73... | |
| Just confused about where to start Used is a good way to go, but you need to research the speakers online and try to find a shop that carries that line of speakers. They may have newer models, but you can get a sense of the sonics for that brand.And there's no returning used speake... | |
| Just confused about where to start Lack of synergy may be the most common reason components are put up for sale. Auditions and a return policy are vital. | |
| Just confused about where to start @muffinhead,Yes, synergy is very important. Specs need to checked, but the amp and speakers need to compliment each other. ie, you may not want a detailed amp with highly resolving speakers. | |
| Just confused about where to start Amp and speakers have to work together. Consideration needs to be given to an amp that will be powerful enough to drive the speakers to their full potential. So matching is much more important than with headphones. | |
| PC or Line Conditioner OK, so no dedicated lines. Are you using any lighting dimmers on your first floor that introduce noise? I'm thinking that maybe you could move electrical devices from the shared line to a different breaker.In any event, another passive conditioner... | |
| Rogue RP 1 or Super Magnum 99 Glad you like it. Let the tube rolling begin. | |
| How much acoustic room treatment OK. Maybe the video didn't show that. I like the design of those panels, just not the adhesive procedure. |
