| Pass Labs x250.8 vs tube amps My Viva "Solistino" is an 18W class A integrated amp. I usually turn it on for 10-15 minutes for warm up, it does sound a little better after 30 mins. And the IA runs very hot.....can't imagine a system that takes 5-6 hours to warm up. | |
| What's your favorite boutique speaker maker +2 for Daedalus, and add to it Selah Audio. | |
| Rel vs the world I am using a pair of JL Audio E-112 subs in my two channel rig, so far they are sounding very good, but still working on getting them integrated to my mains. Several years ago I was using a pair of Rythmik, F-12G which I found to be excellent... | |
| Viva Solistino Amp @charles1dad Again thank you for your kind reply and your spot on advice. As I originally stated, I had read many of your tube related posts and respect your insight.....@joeinid Thanks, I appreciate your coments. Yes my Viva is a keeper. | |
| Viva Solistino Amp Yes the D input is a direct connection for a preamp and S is for the sub should be self explanatory, but with no info from the OEM, it was trial and error. | |
| Viva Solistino Amp Well the Viva is still front and center in my system. I am still using the stock tubes that came with the amp, but I plan on replacing them early next year.The Viva mates very well with my Daedalus speakers, in its ability to drive them. The spea... | |
| unbeatable Class A integrated If you like tubes and have efficient speakers, then take a look at Viva Solistino IA. This IA has 18W pure class A, it's a very fine piece. | |
| Recommendations on a big 3 way bookshelf - new or vintage - speakers, have stands 17" high Selah Audio "Tempesta " is a fine 3 - way large monitor speaker. They are well designed and sound great. | |
| New integrated amp I had a KWI-200, Dan's products are first rate, very well made and exceptional customer support....If needed. At the time it easily beat my Bryston B-100, a fine IA in its own, the MW has greater grip, headroom and of course power. | |
| Are integrated amps technically better than separates? I agree seperates provide greater flexibility and separation, but I have always liked the convenience of a good IA. As such I have owned both, like many others, I moved back to an IA, Viva Solistino, and have no regrets....its a fine IA and if I... | |
| Lampizator to which dedicated music streamer? I am using an Aurender N-100 server. | |
| I need a good looking and good sounding speaker .... Another vote for Daedalus. ..I have the Argos great sounding speakers. | |
| ModWright 150 SE? Thoughts? Also had the MW 150SE + LS -100......great products, very well built. The amp has plenty of power (with head room). At the time , I was driving an 84dB, speaker with zero issues. MW seems to fly under the radar, but delivers the goods with first r... | |
| 2 way, which are the best designs? For something different, Selah Audio Tempesta, a three way monitor speaker . This speaker is very well designed, wonderful sounding and will work with any number of amps. The Tempesta is now a MK2 version. ...I had the original MK1 and have not h... | |
| Separates or Integrated? What makes more sense? There is no wrong way to go, it simply a matter of personal taste. It's also a choice of greater flexibility with seperates or a single box solution. I have had both setups over the years, but now have a IA with no plans of going back to separate... |
