| WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH WATTS? True power specs shouldn’t be a be all when shopping for an amplifier of course. But always very helpful indicators because no one likes leaving half of a steak sitting on a table. The drop in power could just mean the lesser still had adequate po... | |
| Budget amp for NS-1000. Rotel, march or parasound? Music Fidelity A3cr and A3.2cr are good valued amps. One might be the ticket to relaxing highs while tightening up bass with the Yamaha's. | |
| 2 subs in a small room? I agree and also an EQ will be more helpful the more problematic room acoustics are, room can make achieving a flat or close to response that much more of a challenge but not impossible and sometimes impossible without addressing problematic areas. | |
| Dual Differential / Balanced? There are separate case mono blocks and dual mono two channel designs that share a case but it should have two power supplies per channel, one per channel in the preamplifier section and per channel for each power amplifier section in order to be ... | |
| WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH WATTS? Its nice to use an amp with more than enough power to drive a given speaker past its limits. Of course you don’t want to push so far as to risk damaging your speakers. I like having more dynamic range on reserve for those bursts of sound that call... | |
| Pre Amp for $400 ?? Bryston 0.5 B is another preamp I will vouch for.Coincidentally upon looking there happens to be a SUMO that is available https://www.audiogon.com/listings/solid-state-sumo-athena-0620-preamplifier-2016-04-11-preamplifiers... | |
| Pre Amp for $400 ?? You will have a tough time finding a CP-60 for $400, even without phono. A CP-30 will be closer to the ballpark. Both of them are nice smooth transparent preamps.Be careful not to have any caps changed prematurely. I have much older gear that was ... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? Some Tetra 606 reason being because I love them http://www.tetraspeakers.com/high_end_speakers_pages/606.aspx | |
| Threshold 400A Amplifier and Conrad Jonson MF2500A Glad to hear you like it, those are butt kicking good. Looks and sound wise. I think any amp will sound at its best directly into the wall outlet and nothing breaking there communion. Reserve the filter plug ins for other sensitive electronics lik... | |
| Need Inexpensive Crossover Those paradigm x30 are handy and sound pretty good. At a point I had 2 of them. When they say mini they arent kidding. If you can find these used grab one, used in the neighborhood of $100 or less https://www.minidsp.com/products/minidsp-in-a-box/... | |
| Threshold 400A Amplifier and Conrad Jonson MF2500A I turn amps on a couple hours prior to listening. I dont find many hours necessary for getting them up to good running temperature. But as pointed out keeping amps on cuts back on the wear and tear.Keep in mind you while leaving amps on you also r... | |
| 2 subs in a small room? I had 5 subs in operation inside a sealed 10x14 room, I even went so far as to install a solid core door and duct tape any suspected leak points around floor and over the heating duct to keep room as air tight as possible. Not only did it sound gr... | |
| I have an uber awesome amp, why buy a speaker with a built in woofer sub-woofer amp Being more convenient having all in one bass unit is an attractive selling feature too. You might have trouble finding passive subs since most of them are plug as complete all in one units. Maybe its time to do-it-yourself subs and buy a pre cut b... | |
| Has anyone found Audio Nirvana? The VTL and SL700 combination sounds like a great place to start seeking it. My cherry was popped when I had Luxman and Harbeth together, Sudgen pre power combo. USA made McCormack amp and 3A speakers, with up to 5 8" subs, classe cd player. I fin... | |
