| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? Interesting.It might be hard to quantify or even identify but it makes sense to me that higher performance in general enables design options that might not be viable otherwise. To what extent any of those are beneficial or not of course may still ... | |
| What speakers for 10k? Actually, seeing its only a 5.25" woofer, its a pretty safe bet not much is happening at 42hz. Also ribbon/folded ribbon tweets like that used are inherently directional as well I read. So the small size and seemingly directional design should hel... | |
| What speakers for 10k? The Grand Teton specs on teh website indicate frequency response down to 42hz but no indication of the roll off so it could well be way down at that point. Another generalized spec that may mean little that might play into a higher sensitivity rat... | |
| What speakers for 10k? Nothing unusual about vendors generalizing specifications as a marketing ploy.Its not hard to have 94DB speakers....assuming the lowest octave or so is excluded. Lots of "snakeoil" like this around. Nothing unique to see here really.Yes, if its sm... | |
| What's your latest album purchase? Mel Torme "Best of the Concord Years".I've never heard anyone resonate notes like this guy. When he does it, it sounds like the room might explode. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... One other thing that might be useful to know is the output impedance of the AN amp. I'm asuming it is fairly high being a SET but do not know for sure. The higher that is the greater the chance that impedance swings in the speaker, even if not pro... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Reb, I think you have all the relevant info available to decide. Some more detailed impedance/phase info on specific Tektons would be useful but not needed to save some money perhaps. Or go with what seems best on paper for more. Or try something ... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Mik.TEktons might well be the ticket. DEfinitely high value and a reasonable fit it would seem for most any case. Plus not much risk to try. I would consider those myself. On paper. the Coincident just seems to be designed specifically for the tas... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Mil I read a few things on the Tektons and lore specifically but did not see any impedance or phase charts. Can you provide a link? | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... It is harder to achieve quality on a larger scale than a small one no doubt. My system is designed around the speakers which require quality on a somewhat larger scale. I've found a good modern class d amp to be a game changer in regards to accomp... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Reb if it were me and I wanted to take my best shot to hit the bullseye now on paper I'd have to splurge for the co incidents. Screw the matching stands that's mostly aesthetics. They are designed to work with an amp like yours and should fit your... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Reb the coincident triumph extreme 2 monitors appear to be in your price range. Have you seen those? | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... The it's worth noting the beyond the clipping issue the high output impedance of a set makes it more susceptible to impedance swings. To get the best performance in terms of tonality you must have higher impedance speakers. Has anyone seen an impe... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Quality is more important but a quality amp alone cannot make any music. Lots of factors contribute to results including personal preferences which are usually what determines quality to that person. The numbers would seem to indicate that ss must... | |
| Have you heard the Ellington Masterpieces reissue? He liked it hey Mikey...that Mikey I'm guessing. Most Ellington recordings are top notch. |
