| would wyred 4 sound mono blocks be a good choice f Power wise yes it will work fine. Reports from the field however indicate that quality wise you may want to invest a little more (maybe a lot). Others who know high power SS will have to chip in. One amp used for panels is getting good reports is ... | |
| Devore fidelity gibbon 7.1 worth the money? Are you a home theater listener or a stereo listener? Obviously You should be able to get a 2 channel system to image well i.e. 3D sound stage, that no center should be needed. | |
| Levinson amp repair question Anything can usually be repaired unless this is an antique. You may have to replace the circuit board but that is a repair. Whether or not you think it worth the cost and effort, well that is a different story. I have seen 70s vintage integrated J... | |
| Thought you might like this.... His prides aren't crazy for audio/art pieces, I was kind of surprised by that although he isn't using real expensive audio to begin with. | |
| Anybody have an actively multi-amplified system? The problem is that it seems complicated for instance ensuring that all frequencies are actively divided and subsequently amplified to an appropriate level. Beyond that issue, there is expense of an amp for each segment of the sound spectrum, this... | |
| Preamps w/ polypropylene caps in power supply? I am just curious. Do you think think avoiding electrolytics with their usualy high capacitance is a good way to go.

| B&W matrix 801 s2 still a relavant speaker. I own a pair of 1959 JBL C36s with the 030 speaker and cossover set in it. They belonged to my father and they will always be relevant. Even after the Japanese passion for them dies down and dissapears. I hope my son keeps them the way I have. | |

| Wildly fluttering woofer It is almost certainly sub sonic feedback as mentioned before. I have seen this using test records on my own gear which can't produce a sound below 28 cycles but will wobble violently between 20 and 26 cycles. | |
| KT120 longevity I guess you will be the standard case to model future behavior on. | |
| Avantgarde Duo owners in NYC? They show a lot around the world and if you are in the Avante Garde circle of fans who can afford new you can find a demo spot. Just write to them. BTW how good a red are we talking 1st growth Bordeaux from a great year? or what? | |
| intermitant phono tube cut out? I collect 5751s and have some experience subbing them in for 12AX7s. If you want a softer edged fuller sound then go against the wave of opinion and get an older grey plated example. If you crave detail space and definition then get black plated t... | |
