| Just moved - sound destroyed Loose - Good advice from all above. Your room may be overdamped but the first thing I'd do is work on speaker placement. Don't get frustrated....this may take you hours or even days until you're happy with the sound. First, work on speaker spacing... | |
| Aleph 3 vs. Aleph 30 volksamp , or Aleph 5 I believe the only difference in the 3 vs 30 is the heatsink design to make the 30 more conventional looking.Are your speakers 4 or 8 ohm? Sensitivity? You may not need the 60w Aleph 5 especially since you're going to use a sub.Also, you can email... | |
| Possible move to tubes… help direct me If you can do with a lttle less than 70w, I'd recommend a new Conrad Johnson MV-60 (55W EL34 Based) or MV-60SE (60W KT88 based). I use the MV-60 with Audio Physic Virgo III and still have plenty of headroom.Hope this helps.Dave | |
| Tweeters facing in or out ? You'll need to try it both ways and see what sounds best in your room. Generally, the sound from tweeters will be more prominent when they are on the inside (towards the center) vs outside.Dave | |
| PSB or Thiel? nOrh?? Try to audition before buying. To my ears, the PSB speakers and Thiel do not at all sound alike. I find the PSB to be more authoritative with good bass while the Thiel are very detailed. If you've heard and like one of these, I'd guess that you wo... | |
| Best pre-amp w/ HT pass thru I believe the Conrad Johnson PV-14 tube preamp has HT pass through. I wouldn't be concerned about tubes in preamps.....they last far longer than in an amp. | |
| best speakers under $1000 for classic rock? Are you looking for a complete surround setup? If so, there is an ad right now on Agon for the PSB Image 4T,9C,10S for $950. Perfect, if a surround setup is what you're looking for. As a disclaimer, I own the 4T and I do not know the individual wh... | |
| Why no remote? Great responses all. Appreciate the feedback.Thanks again,Dave | |
| Why no remote? Thanks for the insightful responses so far. To clarify, I'd be more than willing to pay for the remote, it's just that first it has to be made available by the manufacturer. I guess in the long run I'll go with what I think is the better match wit... | |
| Replace Dynaudio 1.8 w/ AP Virgo or Tempo? Disclaimer to my comments that will follow - I own the Virgo IIIs. I have heard them with several preamps and amps, both solid state and tube. I have heard your Dynaudios but only briefly (I think it was a solid state front end).The AP speakers wi... | |

| A. P's I could listen to these speakers for hours (actually, I do...I own them). I've listened to them in several different rooms with different electronics (I don't remember them all but do remember Classe, Spectral and Conrad Johnson)and have never tho... | |
| Any words of widsom changing amp fuses? I believe Classe uses fast blow fuses. You may want to check with them before you start changing anything. | |
| Speakers for small listening room If this is a dedicated listening room place the speakers along the long wall, approximately 7 feet apart and bring them out into the room halfway (yes, your speakers will seem like they are on top of you). However, your soundstage should re-appear... | |
| Rock and Roll System I owned Heresy's for many years. As Sean says, they'll play loud...that's the good news. The bad news is that they are mid-range forward and light on the bass. Your room is pretty big so you may not get below 60Hz. A sub is needed especially for r... |
