| The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now Whatever good import in your collection (thus available) that you bought before the dollar became worthless and the Californians took advantage of the pent up demand for the 2001s. The term Meritage is now applied randomly to virtually any blend o... | |
| Tube power vs Solid state power, how much is enoug I have very high efficiency speakers and there is more to it than that. Tubes generally fair better with a higher resistance load and are less prone to distort (impedance matching). Secondly the dynamics of the music change the load as you play an... | |

| Speakers for loud listening. really loud... I have 2 systems for that very purpose. My Loud music speakers are in fact Klipsch La Scalas vintage 1979, powered by an old solid state Acoustic Research power amp. There is a myth that these speakers sound best with low power this is not the cas... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4,Jr. I didn't like the show demo anymore than TRELJA in terms of style, but thought the speaker was superb. The speaker played music not geopolitical diatribes. Fortunately a local dealer has them, allowing me to listen for good long while with less ex... | |

The only issue of concern is the EL34s midrange dominant character. It is also one reason people buy them. I have an EL34 output phase amp. Some argue th... | |
| Atma-Sphere with Gilmore on HE 2004 I was at the show as well and was less than impressed with the synergy. I have to agree that the amps are not able to wrestle with that many woofer motors, especially in that room. I echoe Trelja's comment that the combination was unable to resolv... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Sentimental speakers like my Father's 1959 JBL D-36's and my own 1977 Klipsch. I now have more modern speakers but could never part with speakers that have emotional ties. I still listen to them on a separate system. The sound could be better but ... | |
| Do old Fisher tube amps compare to modern ones? I cannot speak with authority on the topic- but I sure hope not. I wish to buy some vintage amplication for some vintage speakers I own. I want to re-create The older sound which had a much warmer tone to it as I remember it. Modern tube equipment... |
