| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? @hilde45 I appreciate your vacation analogy. I enjoy the experience from trying different approaches to this audio hobby. Could not manage it in the past, however now have kids through college and have house paid off. | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room @captouch I use my Frirz speakers with a PP EL34 tube amp in triode mode (<20wpc) with no problem. I have also used 2x4' wall mounted acoustic absorption panels set diagonally across corners of the front wall. The space behind the panels ser... | |
| Which Schitt Audio Equalizer operates as a loudness switch for low level listening As a loudness control I would think the Loki Mini would be enough at $149. Now if you need full spectrum EQ.... | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out I love my Fritz speakers. That said, I live in southern Illinois, Baxter is ~5 hours away, on the way to western North Carolina where my son lives. Just may have to arrange with Greg to hear his Volti speakers one day. | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room My room has very similar dimensions to yours. I use Fritz Carbon 7se MK2 speakers and love them. Regardless of the speaker used, like others have suggested I would remove some of the side wall panels, leaving a couple at reflection points, and us... | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. @jeffseight Thanks you. I am in no hurry to sell the Fritz speakers. You are right about the 'highs'. My goal was to develop a system that relied on quality power, not quantity power. Said system best fit my budget. I also believe that the value ... | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out @hilde45 So great to hear from you, welcome back! I am still enjoying my Fritz Carbon 7s with either the Aric Audio Transcend tube PP or the Pass XA25. | |
| Maggie LRS vs .7 I am in a similar situation. I have the LRS+ and sometimes think of trying the .7s in my 15x12' room. They are in rotation with Fritz Carbon 7s using different amps on each pair. | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. @paulcreed Yes, I have always considered the Pulsars as a speaker that would fit well into my room/system when I had a SS amp with the power to drive them. My current SS amp is the Pass XA 25 which I believe would be marginal at best. | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. @paulcreed Yes, I have come to the conclusion that at the stated $5000 budget a new speaker pair would likely be a sideways move. I will research the Ref 3a, thanks. To all, as I stated above, I plan on keeping the Fritz speakers for the time b... | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. @jayctoy Thanks for the info. For now I am going to stick with my Fritz speakers. I remain interested in his KT88 SET. | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? Streaming is great for the several reasons mentioned above. I continue to play CDs because I like too. | |
| Room setting: new amp or new speakers? I would first make the adjustment on speaker placement for the best presentation you can achieve within your room using your current speakers/amplifier. Then consider the purchase of new speakers. Keep in mind that you will then require a new amp... | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. @elliottbnewcombjr Thanks for the review by Terry. I have not heard Aric's speakers as I live in southern Illinois and have not traveled in is direction for a long time. For now they are outside my budget and I am thinking they may be a little l... | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? @fthompson251 Try Ray Brown trio - Soular Energy. |
