| Buy tubes from Audio Research or not I took a chance and just bought 6 new Groove Tube 12AX7s for my sp16 from Guitar Center.They cost $120 ($20 each) and I was able to walk in and buy them.The tubes from ARC would have cost $200 + shipping, etc.It worked out fine. I do not hear any ... | |
| Music that really stirs your emotions Mahler is gut wrenching.Symphony # 3 in particular bends me out of shape whenever I listen.I would guess that the musical Les Miserable has an effect on most. | |
| Is speaker accuracy important for a rock speaker? Let me know if you ever decide to sell the OHM Is.....Those are speakers with balls that I would bet lend themselves exceptionally to rock.I've had a pair of their little brothers, OHM Ls, for over 30 years.

| Is speaker accuracy important for a rock speaker?

| What is Musicality? Tvad,You cannot not convince me that you are not an audiophile!Dump your system and go with an Ipod and then we can talk. | |
| Why not horns? My understanding is the Unicorn is GPs attempt to make a full range speaker using only their DDD Walsh driver. They accomplish it via horn loading the driver to provide the low end that would otherwise not be there in lieu of a separate driver.I'v... | |
| Why not horns? The cabinet is a rear loaded horn I believe. It is used to extend the low end output of the DDD driver I believe. A Walsh driver, including the ddd, transmits sound through wave bending for higher frequencies and operates pistonically for low freq... | |
| how does current work in an amplifier? Specs done well are useful for helping determine up front how well components might work together. I definitely recommend using specs for this purpose to get where you want to be faster rather than putting pieces together blindly and hoping for op... | |
