| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... It is funny to me that only insane audiophiles like us could get so bent out of shape over less than stellar bass with some pop music recordings. My system rules with that kind of sound. It would drive me nuts to lose the ability to deliver it pro... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Reb I am tempted to just send you my triangle Titus xl speakers. They might be all you need I your room the fit the bill in our sunroom as seen in my system pic. I have a vision of running them off a set or similar tube amp someday. Anyone ever he... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... The who comment resonated with me. Zu's I heard demoed similar to Tecton did not deliver with Rush on a set. The zu admitted the set was underpowered for the task after the fact. He was demoing with classical and jazz fair that was better suited a... | |
| vintage versus modern speakers This is an easy one. No. Technology has advanced and the products evolved. You are better off with newer speakers at all price points. Of course speakers from the 70s that are still around are old and not even as good as they were back then. I don... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... mik have you heard each Teuton model with a low power set? Some Teutons extend lower than others I read. I have no doubt those that extend only to 50hz or so would have much problem but I am less certain about those that extend into the 30 hz rang... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... My understanding is the audio notes rely on corner placement to reinforce the bass similar to a horn effect which makes them more amenable for tube amplification in general. I heard a pair bot sure how fancy at capital audio fest a few years back.... | |

| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... reb triangle speakers are worth the look. Similar design concept with the crossover to ref3a at least in some models similar to mine not expensive very refined and possibly efficient enough for real to get you over that hump | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... With subs its up to the buyer to do the integration to their satisfaction. It takes some time and discipline but is doable usually. Ive done it to my satisfaction in the past but it required a lot of focus and a clear goal it can be done by ear or... | |
| Where should I spend my $2000? None of the last three are probably great matches to the prima luna tube amp Maybe the sonus faber or revel not sure offhand but not the kefs or dynaudios. Ss amploficatipn only for those . I have noticed a pattern of those choosing non tube amp f... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... These kinds of problems is what makes this stuff fun as long as one has patience and proper financing. :^] | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Tube you are right of course. I recall going through the risks with reb beforehand. We were all hoping for the best but knew the risks. So no toap surprise i suspect. One just has to complete the journey. Often one big move calls for followups bef... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Not only resolve it but allow the set to do what it does best even better . Offload the power hungry lowest octave or so and you can have it all for reasonable cost. It's a no brainet for me to eliminate the problem and grt the most out of what he... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... i'd be willing to bet a sub or two would resolve the problem. | |
| Higher resolution Jazz It's not hard to play 78 rpm records. Just pick up any old ceramic cart table with 78 rpm speed and reversible stylus for 78s and connect to any line level input. No phono pre needed. They'll sound better than ever on your shiny modern system. Lot... |
