| amplifier with volume control Many thanks. I'm going to try an amp with the volume control built in (my tech has an amp for sale with this). This is a passive configuration and I would hope that, all things being equal, that having the attenuator built into the amp would be a... | |
| amplifier with volume control many thanks to all. I appreciate the advice regarding an active preamp, but for now I have decided to eliminate the active preamp - I have tried several and have found a direct connection better - but that does not mean I will not try one in the ... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity My tech disconnected the tweeters and placed the speakers with the tweeters facing the outside - they sound and image much better. | |
| Economical full-range floor-standing speaker options? Along the lines of Fritz, Salk and Tekton in terms of value, you may want to check out Bache audio from Brooklyn. | |
| tower placement thanks Erik but sorry - I meant the desktop computer tower - not the speakers - | |
| PSB - Stratus Gold(i) vs Totem Acoustic - Sky towers Thanks. Are you familiar with my speakers - the eminent technology LFT8bs? If do purchase these I hope they are an improvement over those. I was also considering perhaps speakers such as Salk or Fritz. Since I would be purchasing them without h... | |
| PSB - Stratus Gold(i) vs Totem Acoustic - Sky towers If you don't mind me jumping in here, I am the owner of Eminent Technology LFT8bs. Great speaker but they are incompatible with my quicksilver M60 amps. My tech whose opinion I greatly respect swears by the Golds and told me to seek out a pair a... | |

| change amps or speakers Thank you. Looks like I will need an active preamp no matter what avenue I decide to take so I will try that. Any suggestions? I can start with the quicksilver line stage - others I see on the gon that are highly touted is Don Sachs and Backert... | |

| change amps or speakers Actually I have never heard them at their best - I purchased them upon the recommendation of a tech - a local guy that works out of his house and would come to my home. Issue is I put some serious $ with that tech into modding the quicksilvers - a... | |
| change amps or speakers Thank you for your input. Before I make a decision to purchase the KT88s for use with the ETs, does anyone any thoughts regarding how a newer speaker such as Fritz or Salk would compare to the ETs? (my room is 20X14) And does anyone have any expe... | |
| change amps or speakers Most of you confirmed my instinct: replace the speakers with more efficient ones that will work with the quicksilvers. Any recommendations in the 3,000 range new or used? |
