| 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... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Always avoid clipping even if subtle. How hard it will be to find new speakers and how much will largely depend on how much bass extension is needed. If not full range it won't be hard or expensive. | |

| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? Al, makes sense. Thanks. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Knowledgeable DIY'ers can put bought high end audio to shame. I've seen and heard it with my own ears at Capital Audiofest a couple years back. I'm surprised they let those guys in. They made many the big ticket vendors look silly. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Charles I'll agree with that. Its hard to make exactly the same tasting soup when significantly different ingredients are used. But a good chef might get pretty close. And each chef will likely think their way is better. | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? Al, do you think what you describe might correlate to an amps ability to deliver "holographic imaging" as part of those more nebulous sonic artifacts? I tend to relate high performance as measured in things like bandwidth slew rate and rise time w... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Yep, that connection and sense of accomplishment would seem to be the irreplaceable part of the equation at this time.Lots of nice suitable fish er I mean speakers in the sea.... |
