| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? I should add that I auditioned my Sterlings with a Luxman integrated. Believe the model was a 550. Dealer said it produced 20wpc in class A. If I was looking for a SS integrated Luxman would be high on my list. | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? @budburma Yes the Line Magnetic is borderline for power in my room which has only 2/3rds the volume of yours. This using a DAC having 2V output. I am with you on the use of a tube preamp with a SS amp. I run an Aric Audio pre into my XA25. Als... | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? What is the size of your room? I have no problem driving my Tannoy Sterlings with a Pass XA25. I have also driven then with a Line Magnetic 211ai which delivers 32wpc in ultralinear mode, 16wpc in triode. My room is 15' x 12'. | |
| Audiophile Goal Perfect Center Image Yes, there is much more to an 'in the room' soundstage than the center image. | |
| What is the best system one can make under $5000 Yes, and the OP never responded regarding what was done. To anyone interested in this topic, I believe a very fine system can be put together for $5000. | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 I own two of Aric Audio products. One the Special preamp which I purchased from Aric as a demo and the other the Transcend KT88 PP bought used here on AG for ~30% of current retail. I love both as highly valued great sounding pieces. My experie... | |
| Current Questions When a speaker is determined to need a lot of current it means it is not efficient at converting amplifier power to sound level. Therefore you will need greater power than a more efficient speaker would take. This involves both sensitivity and im... | |
| Decent mid fi with Onkyo tax-nr809 Well, if going 2-channel I would continue to look for a quality 2-channel amplifier. That said, I don't know of one that would beat a $1100 AVR at $150. Enjoy what you have and save for a used 2-channel integrated. | |
| D/A converter built into amp. As I understand it the Mohican is a very nice player. Not heard it however. One advantage when using it is there is no shared electronics between DAC and amplification. Keeping the digital domain separate from amplification is one advantage to a ... | |
| Let me explain something to you jive turkeys. Well, I have not heard such things said. I do agree with the point of 2nd paragraph. Therefore I guess I 'dig'. | |
| If money was and was not of any concern when buying speakers. I would have several and an environmentally controlled locker to keep them in. | |
| Does measurements really matter? Many measurements should matter to anyone putting together an audio system. Many issues arise do to incompatibilities between components. What comprises a good outcome is mostly subjective. | |
| Just got some AudioEngine A5+ speaker and they blow my mind Yes, while I have a headphone system, I only use it late at night when other are sleeping. The spacial qualities of a well set up speaker system is IMO a superior experience. | |
| ***Education On Separates*** +1 yogiboy. Though with digital front ends one can have too much output from a high gain preamp (too much voltage over the sensitivity measurement of the amplifier). Another thought, the amps under consideration are quite different in their abil... | |
