| That "tube sound" and power ratings Atmasphere, who out there today is making good quality 16 ohm speakers? With no impedance dips much below that I mean. A google search on 16 ohm speakers turns up little at least on teh fist page.WHat are some good ones at various price points? Wh... | |
| My New Large Advents Surprise, but I preferred OHM L or H to all those for all kinds of music. They sounded most like the Advents by design. L for similar performance in a smaller package and H for taking things a bit further. C2 was a bit on the bright side for me. E... | |
| My New Large Advents Those are classics. Enjoy! | |
| What makes Telefunken tubes sound better? I don't know that telefunken tubes are the best or not. Only that I trust the brand and would expect a good product option there whenever needed.This has nothing to do with how they "sound" or not. Only that I trust the brand to build a high quali... | |
| That "tube sound" and power ratings "Probably... A lot of what people like is the compression and fatness that occurs when an underpowered tube amp is over driven"That's a very good point and a great example of how the best technical performance in terms of accuracy does not always ... | |
| High End Audio Market Oppertunities I've been doing a lot of doodling with computer audio related things of late and have some good ideas to share.Will I be getting royalty checks if I do? :^) | |

| What makes Telefunken tubes sound better? TOmcy6 speaks the truth I suspect.Of course, protecting Germany was/is in teh US's best interest, so its not like we did it out of the goodness of our hearts. | |
| That "tube sound" and power ratings Hazy,I don't understand why you are tying this question to optimal power levels. I don't think it has anything to do with that. If it is the purest tube sound that you seek, that's probably the best tube amp design with the fewest tubes, like some... | |
| What makes Telefunken tubes sound better? "There are VERY few humans born as "slackers" they become so by the alienation caused by lack of jobs often leading TO drug and alcohol abuse ."Its a very competitive world these days no doubt. An extension of natural selection within humanity in ... | |
| What makes Telefunken tubes sound better? I suspect that most things GErmany does is done well, especially when it comes to applications of technology and engineering.But there are many other things not done in Germany at all.The US has always been more about opportunity and teh "frontier... | |
| What makes Telefunken tubes sound better? I suppose what is better is largely a matter of perspective.I doubt if the the most least privileged children born in the USA were born in Germany their fates would be any better. It's a pretty crowded place already, isn't it?Anyway, who cares or ... |
