| Calling all SET fans My Triangle Titus have been the bomb for several months now in my wife's 12X12 cathedral ceiling sunroom, running off the 500 w/ch Bal canto ref1000m Class D amps in the basement below (via in-wall speaker wires I had run when the house was built)... | |
| Calling all SET fans Now, I will wait to hear results with Triangles and SET or SEP, if you are still inclined to take things even further in that direction. The EE amp seems pretty sweet already. Its one I have considered as well from time to time. | |
| Calling all SET fans Schubert, you made my day.Glad to hear it seems to be working well. This may well accelerate my plunge towards a flea powered tube amp to use my Triangle Titus XS sooner rather than later.Just goes to show to always take specs with a grain of salt... | |
| Calling all SET fans If building around a particular SET amp, its only gonna pay to hear speakers with the chosen amp more so than ever. What speakers sound like with other amps will not mean much. Schu already has the Triangle Titus speakers to try with his current E... | |

Get a good one either way, use good quality wires if needed (need not cost much) and you should be golden either way.In normal cases, the DAC used in either case will largely determine how things sound. So you have more fl... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable My relatively cheapo wires by some standards sound fine to me. So maybe something trickled already. | |

| Shipping damage becoming a real issue What are the current restrictions other than communicating via Agon and not via direct email externally?I did a couple buys earlier this year and do not recall any restrictions on communicating otherwise. Some kind of agreement on how to safe ship... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable I'm hoping for some "Trickle Down Economics" on this topic as well. | |
| Wow .... €50K Headphones ... What next "Wow .... €50K Headphones ... What next "Trickle down economics maybe? | |
| Wow .... €50K Headphones ... What next Saudi royal family loves expensive toys and has plenty of money. I suppose they donate something to someone somewhere but who knows. They certainly do not have to answer to anybody. |
