| McIntosh & Klipsck RF-7's They are 99 db or 100 db I believe, and Mac is the best for any Klipsch speaker, I have first hand on this, Also owned RF7's and were very difficult to get balanced sound, the horns always took over the low frequency.. but anyway this will be fair... | |
| Help set up phono stage resistance with dip switch Well its the Audio mirror preamp built in phono... Don't really think that will help, cause basically it has to do with what mixture of Resistance will equal what from my understanding. I do not know if they are parallel or series, but understand ... | |
| Cartridge selection & output “mV” MM vs. MC Help I think I am in business guys, I picked up the Ortofon Kontrapunkt A, which is to be a killer rock phono cart. with beyond acceptable bass..

| Dali, Amphion, Zu Don't Know about Druids, but ZU will be flavor of the Decade if they keep going, cause they blow everything out of the water between 1500.00 & 10000.00 | |
| Accuphase A-30 or P-3000 for Klipschorns? Bipolar always sounds better and is used in all the very hi-end amps over 3-5000.00 if you look and part of this is opinion and part is fact,, But I would absolutly suggest MCINTOSH amps vs. Anything with Klipsch, but accuphase is very close in th... | |
| Can anyone comment on the Audio Mirror Pp1 Preamp? Definatly incredible phono, the line is as good as it gets for about 5 times the price as well, but beware Good cryo tubes needed for complete dead silent background, and Vladmir sometimes ships very cheap 12AU7's(Ecc82?) in the unit and these hav... | |
| room size for Zu Definitions Honestly to get the optimum would be something up into the 800-1000 square ft room... no joke, a good 18ft - 24 ft wide by 30ft -40 ft deep... this is where they would open up for real and be like walking into a theater... but with the small room ... | |

| How long do speakers last? The older a speaker is that much better it will sound, but Capacitors and surrounds will deteriorate in time, if they are good rubber surrounds on the woof's this will not be a problem really, but would still suggest replacing caps for another lev... | |
| CLASS A AMPLIFIERS Much of the newer A/B designs will run up to nearly 25% of the output in pure class A and switch to AB for cooler operation and lower power draw.. and many of the newer A/B designs today rival and beat many of the older Straight Class A in my opin... | |

| Best undiscovered speakers on the market today ? Zu Definitions, but mainly they are just too new I think, forget it nothing close in the price range, Dual full range, no crossovers, powered array of 4 more 10's down to 16 hz... the Reimers as suggested above are somewhat close, so are VMPS... b... | |
| Are Zu Druids really good HE speakers? Gotta say, Zu's definatly(Druid and Definition) need some type of tube in the line to react their best... at least the preamp or possible a very good tube CD and Phono stage. |
