| Have ~$10-12k...what would you do? Just been thinking a bit about your situation. If you want to keep your current speakers, it pretty much rules SETs out because of their low power output. To go with those speakers means to get the best out of them on their own terms. Also, I agre... | |

| More 845 tubes Probably not me, facten. At least not yet. I’ve just put in an order for the new 845-Z, so I want to see how that works out first. | |
| Integrated amp upgrade If you were intent on getting an integrated amp, there's this ModWright which puts out 200 watts into 8 ohms and 400 into 4 ohms. Always a good sign when an amp can double up its power output when its impedance halves:https://www.audiogon.com/list... | |
| Integrated amp upgrade If you’re thinking of a pair of 7.2s, you can’t fiddle around with little amps. You need big power, so look to Threshold or Pass or Krell, etc. If you like the sound of the Classe, look to one of their bigger amps. With a volume control on the Heg... | |
| Looking to build a system for under $5k Because of the type of music you say you like to listen to, I thought I'd recommend something that is well suited to it, and offer something a little different from what others have suggested. It's hard to beat the Oppo for digital in its price ra... | |
| Suggest speaker cable for coincident super victory II You could try Jeff Day's current favourite, the Duelund DCA16GA; and it's affordable:http://www.partsconnexion.com/wire_hookup_duel_dca16.htmlsee Jeff's remarks: http://jeffsplace.me/wordpress/?p=9691&cpage=1#comment-30326 | |
| Budget Audiophile Looking For Amplifier Suggestions Simaudio Moon W-3; a great Canadian amp. Remember the Canadian dollar is only worth about $.75, so this should be within your budget:http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649319186-simaudio-moon-w3-amplifier/ | |

| Classic el34 tube amps versus current models Congratulations, good choice. I hope you enjoy it. | |
| Matching an Amplifier to my Proac Response 2.5s + CJ PV5 If you listen at low volumes you should be able to use an RM9. I owned the original back in the day and they’re lovely, lovely sounding amps. Or you cold go all CJ with something like this:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/tube-conrad-johnson-prem... | |
| Integrated Amp Suggestions for Dynaudio Contour 3.4LE To tell you the truth I’d be a little leery about putting a tubed amp with those speakers because both pair present a pretty tough load. IIRC, the Dynaudios are something like 84dB and 6ohms? Something like a Hegel ss integrated, I think, would be... | |
| Classic el34 tube amps versus current models I do remember some of that old CJ stuff. But for me, if I can truly remember that far back, it was just a little too warm. To me they had a pronounced mid-bass hump, and a little thin in the area of true bass. And as I recall they weren't the most... | |
| Classic el34 tube amps versus current models Thank you bdp24. Some very interesting details. | |
| Classic el34 tube amps versus current models Hello Meiatflask,I would agree with charles1dad that SET amps generally do all the things you said you want better than EL34 amps. Line Magnetic is getting amazing reviews for their amps, and there's one based on the 845 tube for sale within your ... |
