| Acapella Triolon Excalibur speakers at RMAF 2007 I listened to both the Triolons and Campaniles on Friday and twice on Sunday. On Friday the Triolons sounded good, but not quite as impressive as when I heard them in a personal setup in Norway a few years ago. The tonality was very lifelike with ... | |
| avantgarde UNO nano seeking a matching amp I heard Avantgarde speakers on numerous occasions at different shows, dealers, and in owners' homes. Two of the best three setups were using the Audiopax Model 88 monoblocks and the third was based on the Lamm ML2's. The stereo Audiopax amp doesn'... | |
| Resolutions Audio Opus 21 VS. Cary 306 SACD The Cary is a giant killer! Very natural and harmonically rich midrange and tons of detail. It really sounds much more refined than its price tag would suggest. The digital input works great with my modified Squeezebox. Be sure you get the new ver... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Clipsal, what are the V-Cap values that Mick used in your Cab? | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Sychdeli, can the Acapella tweeter be run directly from a preamplifier?? It has a built in amp, however the input impedance is specified as only 600 ohms. Seems low, but then why would it have an RCA input rather than a pair of speaker binding pos... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Amfibius, Acapella never made a version with a powered woofer. There are three versions of the Violon: 1) Standard Violon, 2) Violon High, which has extra cabinet bracing, silver wire and premium crossover parts (I believe this version is no longe... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Amfibius, since your 805AE's are capable of putting out 70 wpc they may actually be OK. Are these Violons the "High" version with a single woofer or the more expensive "High Suboktav" version with two woofers?? The single woofer version is easier ... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde I agree with Docsavage. My experience with the Acapellas (High Violons) is that although they can be driven even by 20 - 30 watt SETs, they need a minimum of 80 - 100 watts to really come to life. If you don't feed them with enough current, they w... | |
| Best sub for Quad 988 The best way to describe the sound of TBIs is that you don't hear them at all. What I mean here is that there is simply no overhang, the notes stop as quickly as they begin, with excellent detail which is obscured and blended into one mush by most... | |
| Best sub for Quad 988 The little TBI Magellan VIIIsu subs are amazing little beasts. One would probably work fine with your Quads, but a stereo pair is really the way to go. These are the fastest subs I have ever heard, better than the REL Stentor III I owned before. T... | |
| Lansche Goa plasma tweeter speakers at CES 2007 Well, at the retail price of $45,000 they do not compare with the Acapellas at all. I visited the Lansche room three times and although I liked what I heard, I thought the price tag shouldn't have been higher than $20 - $25K. The Corona tweeter wa... | |
| Pass Labs vs. Cary The Cary 500MB's will drive your MLs beautifully. They have the most liquid, lush and natural midrange and treble I ever heard in a solid state amp (other than the Dartzeel). With 500 watts and high current on tap, you'll get lifelike dynamics - s... | |
| Best SS amps with sound similar to tube amps Cary Audio 500MB. Superb! Dennis Had voiced them to sound like his 211s and they shurely do. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Stiltskin, I am actually using the Bendix with Sylvania 6F6G's and I like the bass this combo produces, however even though the Sylvanias are quite sweet on top, in my system the treble is still a little too bright. I know it's the Bendix as I ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Other than the Bendix, which rectifiers did you find to produce the best bass in your Suprateks? I tried Mullard GZ34 (5AR4), GZ37, Tungsol and Sylvania 5V4s but the Bendix offered the tightest and best controlled bass of them all. What else shoul... |
