| With 15W tube amp, which speakers to use? Triangle Titus are very transparent and natural sounding, go for a pittance these days and work very well with most any wattage. They are exceptional at low volumes but show no signs of stress when run at higher SPLs. They are small and front port... | |
| NAD C372 & Gallo Ref 3.1 The NAD is a good match.Listen to your own ears and go from there. | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? Actually in recollection, I misstated something above.The speakers I referenced that I had heard were large Avalons, not Dalis. The dealer sold both but I did not get a chance to audition any Dalis. I thought the design of the Dalis in Albert's sy... | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? In looking at Albert Porters System, I see that he has a one meter interconnect that costs more than my entire main system.I've never heard the Dali's in Albert's system, but have heard other large Dalis albeit in listening rooms that were too sma... | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? My system is clearly not high end if the measure is $$$$s spent compared to others.I listen to the best systems I can without regard to cost whenever I have an opportunity and use these to set my reference for what is possible. Then I decide how t... | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? If I had the budget, I'd probably end up spending more.But my system fits my current dwelling pretty well. The differences, if any, would be marginal or subjective, IMHO.If I had a larger house with larger rooms, I would probably be inclined to sc... | |
| Record you spin on a rainy Saturday w/ family gone No Quarter is a great and often overlooked album. Several better than original versions of Zeppelin classics + nice recording to boot. | |
| Weights on a preamp how about a clever little brick? | |
| A future city dweller's dilemma... Maggies are one of the best low volume speakers in my opinion.Match them up with a high current amp with damping factor of 50 or more into 8 ohm and they should really sing at typical condo listening levels.Also, check out the discussion with Atma... | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? Agree with Shadorne.I'd only add that the underpinnings of audio is science and engineering, but 98% of the end user experience results from the artistic aspect, which includes the recording process. | |
| speakers for classical music Its true that really good speakers, when matched properly to the rest of the system, will sound good with all genres of music and types of recordings.Classical, particularly large orchestral arrangements, and some would say piano, is generally one... | |
| In your opinion, what is Hi, Medium and Low end? You can achieve fairly high end sound for medium or low end cost if you match any decent speakers properly to a decent amp and focus on good speaker placement within the roomMost systems sound "high end" when speakers can be placed at least a few ... | |
| speakers for classical music Quad, Magneplanar, or Ohm. | |
| A future city dweller's dilemma... Keep the maggies if at all possible.USe the smaller mmgs if necessary and add a good subwoofer but only if you think it is needed.You might pick up a pair of Dynaudio monitors second hand for a bit more. I was able to live with these nicely as a r... | |
