| Amplifier recommendations for 86 dB Sensitivity Speakers Thank you all for the information, it's very helpful. Indeed, these Technicns speakers seemed promising, but they might be too demanding for a 75 Watt per channel tube amplifier. Down the road, I will get a solid state or one of those nice Techni... | |
| Amplifier recommendations for 86 dB Sensitivity Speakers I knew tube amps perform differently when compared to SS, but I didn’t know there wasn’t any increase in the power output when using the 4 ohms tab. Haven’t heard these speakers but they look really well-built and seem to have the type of sound I... | |
| Amplifier recommendations for 86 dB Sensitivity Speakers Thanks everyone for your really helpful comments. Indeed, the Cayin A100T has 8 and 4 Ohm taps, and I’m sure it can drive 86 dB speakers, however, since I couldn’t find information regarding its 4 Ohm output, I am not sure if it would have enough... | |
| Tung-Sol EL-34B vs Genalex Gold Lion KT77 for Cayin A100T Integrated Tube Amplifier Thanks for the links, there is plenty of information on how small tubes sound!Well the manual is very brief (3 pages) and it only says that One 12Ax7, Two 12AU7 and Two 6CG7 are used in the pre-amp section.I'll have to do some more research to fin... | |
| Tung-Sol EL-34B vs Genalex Gold Lion KT77 for Cayin A100T Integrated Tube Amplifier Thank you all for the valued advise.Is anyone familiar with pre-amp tubes? I read somewhere that for this particular amp, only the 12AU7 will affect the sound quality, the rest (12AUX7 and 6CG7) are for pre-amp control only and are not affecting t... | |
| Tung-Sol EL-34B vs Genalex Gold Lion KT77 for Cayin A100T Integrated Tube Amplifier Thanks for the detailed information.Now I have a better idea of the current tubes' sound signature. Indeed, the Cayin tubes have the red-burgundy base.I am not very familiar with Variable or Autobias -I'll google it- but I am sure it's not autobia... | |
| Integrated tube amplifier for large speakers Thank you all for the valuable advise and detailed information. Just one last question. One of the speakers on my list (Sonus Faber Venere 3.0) is rated as a 6 ohms speaker. If I end up buying that one, should I connect it to the 4 ohms or 8 ohms ... | |
| Integrated tube amplifier for large speakers Thanks Lowrider. You are right, high power amps and large speakers are needed. However, my budget is only $4000 for new speakers and amplification, so it's not enough for more power and size. On the other hand, coming from the 705 monitors to a ne... | |
| 2 Channel Subwoofer connection Thanks for clarifying Danaroo, this is very helpful. | |
| 2 Channel Subwoofer connection Thanks. With the recommended set ups I would just need a passive sub. However, most subs are active. Does it make any difference to buy an active sub and use it as passive? Would the active sub be on all the time, thus generating unwanted interfer... | |
| 2 Channel Subwoofer connection Thank you all for the useful advice. I will certainly look into the RELs and the other brands.A couple of questions though. By keeping the main speakers connected to the amp and then running a second set of wires from the output taps to the sub, t... | |
| 2 Channel Subwoofer connection Hi Matt,Thank you so much for your advice. That's exactly the type of connection I was aiming for-as that's my only option- because I don't have a sub out on my amplifier.However, my main concern was if I will be degrading the sound quality by run... |
