| Amplifier for Tekton speakers Pace, Rhythm and Timing, musical flow. I hooked up the Almarro to the Tekton Lore early this morning, took out the Ei EL84s and installed Amperex EL 84 Bugle Boy recommended in the Jeff Day 6 Moons review. It was quite nice: No edge, glare or brig... | |
| Amplifier for Tekton speakers Nguyen787, seriously, you must replace stock tubes. Read the comments by Jeff Day in 6Moons review, he is right on the money. When I first received my Almarro 205 MKII it was a little bright and harsh on top, not warm with the Tektons at all. Try ... | |
| Cary CAD 280sa v12R Great amplifier, one of my long-time favorites, made in the U.S. | |
| Amplifier for Tekton speakers I like the Cary SET 50 watt triode push-pull the best because it has most of the attributes of the Cary 300B midrange with large amount of headroom, more solid bass, a little more extension on top, has a little more weight and dynamics. For me and... | |
| Amplifier for Tekton speakers My room is 16x14x9 and the answer is yes, Wilson; but not likely in your size room. The Almarro can play louder than I want to listen. I listen to a wide variety of music, almost any genre except Rap. | |
| Amplifier for Tekton speakers I've just purchased an Almarro 205 MK II with Teflon V Cap upgrade for my brother from a fellow A' gonner; he is going to use it with the Tekton M-Lore in a second system. Before my brother picks this up we are going to check it out in my system w... | |
| Amplifier for Tekton speakers I was a little shocked that the little Almarro is as dynamic as it is, warm, with great vocals, and is a real giant killer. You have to roll-in the right tubes though. I got rid of the stock EH 84 and 12ax7. I have rolled in Mullard, 7189s, Ei, an... | |
| This probably a really silly question... Zd542, I don't have trouble driving them with tube amps as such, just the really low-watt jobs, which I have a hankering to do...and I'm a tube guy all the way, haven't used any SS for ages, last being a Forte 4, NAD 3020, I think, too far back to... | |
| Amplifier for Tekton speakers I have used Cary V12, Cary 300B SEI, Primaluna Dialogue One, as well as Almarro 205 MK II, all with terrific success. | |
| This probably a really silly question... Jeffrybehr, I don't really have a problem. Back when I bought the 300ti I drove them with the Music Reference RM10 or Golden Tube SE 40. Now, they are sitting in a closet out of rotation. My current amps are Cary V12, Cary SEI 300B, Primaluna Dial... | |
| Primaluna Dialog Two Integrated Amp vs Cayin A-88T I found that in my Primaluna Dialogue One, like Saki70, that changing tubes from stock was necessary to get the sound I wanted. The great thing about these amps is the auto bias feature making changing tubes a snap; and they will take just about a... | |
| Which speakers should I get. $500-$1000 Philjolet, I also really like my Sound Dynamics 300ti. I paid a little less than you at about the same time you bought yours. Another High End store going out of business. I haven't listened to them in a while but I'm going to roll them back in my... | |
| An audiophile dilemma To follow-up Onhwy61's comment on JBL/Harmon, I always wondered why some of their product such as the Infinity Prelude Compositions (which I own) didn't do better in the Audiophile market. Robert Harley gave them a great review while driving them ... | |
| Best DAC Mac Mini with HUGE soundstage? Get a used Eastern Electric or Metrum Octave. | |
| An audiophile dilemma I always try to get good bang for the buck. I will listen to folks opinions, read a lot of reviews and hit the various boards; but I always trust my own ears in my listening environment. Hence, your comment has puzzled me as well. I like fooling a... |
