| Integrated amp recommendation Your speakers are 4 ohm. Likely they drop below this at lower frequencies. Maybe that accounts for the comment you made regarding the bass being somewhat lacking. I would look for an amplifier that delivers 100wpc at 8ohms and close to 200 at 4ohm... | |
| The LRS+ Speakers @audionoobie Thanks. Have always heard good things about Belles. Never had opportunity the hear the gear. I have always wanted to try the smaller Maggies (LRS+, .7). My system is set up such that the speakers are set up along the long wall. To m... | |
| HoloAudio STREAMER is out now @hilde45 Can you take your Node to the dealer and compare on the system used there? That may supply some of the desired evidence. Thanks for the post. | |
| The LRS+ Speakers @audionoobie What amplifier were you using with the speakers? I also have been keen on 2-way speakers. My room is only slightly larger than yours, ~11 by 15. | |
| PS Audio S300 amplifier- tube preamplifier recommendation Check out Aric Audio. He makes a TUBE preamp whicH costs `$1700. I own one of his preamps and amplifiers. Both products I am very happy with. | |
| "High end" store snobbery @hifihandyman Just to be clear are you refering to the store in Billingham? | |
| Considering the Parasound A23+ amplifier As a closing comment to this thread I should add that I have kept the XA25 and the Transcend amplifiers. The XA25 has grown on to me the more I have used it. One or both of 'us' has broken in. The Transcend is a wonderful replacement. Currentl... | |
| 8-10k budget suggestions please Congrats on your purchase of the Krell. Keep us posted as you proceed. | |
| 8-10k budget suggestions please Are your 804s the one with a pair of 6.5" woofers? I would think that you may not need the subwoofers you were thinking about in your original post. A small room supports base energy. For music it can get to be too much. | |
| 8-10k budget suggestions please I should add that I am not familiar with the sound of your speakers, just that you like the way they sound with your AVR. I am positive you are going to be please with the road you are about to travel. A high quality 2 channel integrated amplifier... | |
| 8-10k budget suggestions please @asmithkash Well, it goes back to a question I have regarding the power you think you need for the speakers. I have not looked them up so I don't know impedance specs. I am sure some would disagree but I consider impedance across frequency range... | |
| Previous Ownership...does it matter to you? Given it is a piece I am interested in I consider: Age, current condition, past ownership, if original box is avail, item to be double boxed, feedback for seller. All are good to know. | |
| 8-10k budget suggestions please One way to extend your budget is to purchase fairly new but used amplification. For half your budget you would do well. Many great integrated amplifiers can be found for ~$5K. Search the forum for streaming options. You might start out with a bu... | |
| 8-10k budget suggestions please I would keep streamer/DAC separate from amplification. I recommend keeping digital separate from analog on separate lines if possible. More flexible upgrade path, less noise input on signal. | |
| streaming and audiophile stereo Well it seems you are interested in a very accomplished 2 channel system which may be consider at the upper end of value, not necessarily cost. With a 20wpc power requirement I would look int tube amplification with a high quality DAC/Streamer. ... |
