| ARC ref 210 vs ref 150 Hi Gpgr4bluI am considering a Ref 150 (non SE) to drive Vienna Acoustics Kiss speakers. My concern based on hearing non Classic Audio Research amps is that they veer more towards solid state than tubey and your comments that they are on the side o... | |
| ayre mx-r versus audio research ref150 Hi uwbadgerAny update on what you ended up with and why?I am also making a decision between thee two.Pre is Cary SLP 05 and speakers Vienna Acoustics Kiss. | |
| Tube Watts vs. Solid State Watts - Any credence? "Currently am running eight EL34's tubes in a primaluna HP integrated amp to Sonus Faber Olympica III speakers"This is a coincidence. The guy who bought the Krell FPB 200c from me is using Sonus Faber Cremona (the originals) an erstwhile predecess... | |
| Tube Watts vs. Solid State Watts - Any credence? I was just about to ask the same question. I moved from Dynaudio's at 86 dB to Vienna Acoustics Kiss at 89 dB, both into 4 ohms and am looking to change my amp from a Krell FPB 200c to a tube amp - either a Conrad Johnson LP 125 sa or a Cary CAD 1... | |
| KRELL FPB 650M MONO BLOCKS ..? HiAm currently using a Krell FPB 200c not running cast but balanced. Would there be any merits in moving to a 300 cx?Thanks | |
| KRELL FPB 650M MONO BLOCKS ..? Hi HighperformancestereodotcomI am currently using a 200c but not using cast, using XLR.Are there any improvements to be gained from going to a 300cx?Thanks | |
| Krell KSA 300 S power conversion You cannot - at least not in a lasting way. There is a card in the front panel which you need to swap out and change for the appropriate voltage.If you use the existing one but do some modification, it will power up but then will give you problems... | |
| Thoughts on Krell FPB series? 600 in particular. "but now we got the $12k Dan D'Agostino Master Power Classic Stereo amp"I just heard that driving some Avalon's - it's a different sound to the old Krells at least the FPB cast series. It is smoother on the top and more open sounding and resolving... | |
| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? Hi Zd542What Ayre and Vandersteen do you use? Also, what Wilson and VAC?Thanks | |
| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? "07-19-15: Zd542I use Ayre in my system and and think it sounds different than what your friends say"What is your system? I tried searching your posts but couldn't work it out. | |
| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? I am considering Ayre but have heard reports that they sound lean compared to Pass or even the older class A Krells (which are by no means tubey sounding). Friends tell me the midrange is very natural sounding and clear but lacks body. True? | |
| Ayre or CJ With Vienna Acoustics Kiss Zd542, moving from the Krell to the Ayre MX R, what do you think will change sound wise. I am guessing I will lose some bass grunt and slam and also some treble brightness?Almarg, thanks for your detailed response. From the measurements and JA's c... | |
| Conrad Johnson LP125sa and ET5 CelloroverWhat speakers are your CJ's driving?Do you think they may be a good match for Vienna Acoustics Kiss? | |
| ANYONE TRY PURCHASING KUBALA ON THIS SITE? There was one from the UK I was interested in getting but that sold very quickly. Hope that was OK for the buyer. | |
