| Anybody listen to Ohm Walsh speaker w/digital amp? I am these days. An extremely good match I would say. | |
| Good $10K systems C'mon, for $10K there are a gzillion different good systems you can put together, for most normal sized rooms.Pick a decent but not excessive tube pre-amp, a Class D power amp specifically designed to work with a tube pre-amp (like Wyred), and the... | |
| PSB Synchrony One owners - placement question? the synchronies i've heard had a very full and pleasing low end set up several feet fromthe rear wall and run off a rogue tube amp. i could see where it might need some taming in some setups. that's par for the course though for most speaks with a... | |
| What is the best Beatle Song I've been liking "I'll Be On My Way" of late mostly because its the last Lennon/McCartney composition performed by The Beatles that I have discovered. It's available only performed live I believe on the BBC Collection CD. | |
| High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more Thanks Ralph.I figured if anybody could identify a SET based combo that could deliver the goods, it was you!I may well test the waters of tube amps in my 2 channel A/V second system, where I run triangle Titus XS speakers and an old M&K sub of... | |
| Speaker cable between Pass 350.5 & MBL 121 mbls?Well, that's VERY different!The most impressive dealer system I have ever heard was running mbl 111s. They had 121s also but did not have a chance to listen.I've used Audioquest cv-6 speaker cables with the DBS gadgets with my OHMs and Dynaud... | |
| Select Your Less Than Ideal System My strategy is to get the amp/speaker/room combo optimized first, because that constitutes most of the battle and largely determines the general end cost. I think I've done a good job to date on that.After that, hell everything (other than ICs) is... | |
| Atma Sphere S30 amp Clio,That amp and your speakers looks like an AWESOME combo! | |
| An Advent Guy My OHM Ls (which were designed to compete with the Advents but in a smaller box), although I have custom tweaked mine.On my current system which far surpasses what I had when I bought the Ls in 1978 (I think), they sound a lot like what I believe ... | |
| Select Your Less Than Ideal System Al,That's certainly a reasonable strategy, but I wonder how much that option still ends up costing to get something that reasonably approaches ideal?Of course, no system is ideal in all ways, so its really always just a matter of what you are will... | |
| Atma Sphere S30 amp Glory,What kinds of music do you listen to?I'd be interested in your assessment on any particular CDs or albums that you might provide. | |
| Select Your Less Than Ideal System Pre-amp would be next for me after IC. | |
| High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more MMike84,Is it a safe assumption that you are looking for different speakers to go along with your tube gear? You aren't looking to replace the amp you have with a SET are you? That makes a big difference I would think on what speakers would work w... | |
| High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more If somebody can show me a SET based system that can deliver Radiohead's "In Rainbows" with the authority and rock solid iron grip in the low end that I hear currently in my system running the (not so) big Bel Canto Class Ds, in a typcial sized lis... | |
| High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more BTW, there is a good chance that if you are supplementing the low end of a SET based system with a high end powered subwoofer, that sub is using a Class D amplifier, not SET or even tubes in general. |
