| JBL 100 Classic or Klipsch Heresy III? lgi, did you make your purchase of the Heresy IIIs? I’ve been doing quite a bit research on speakers and am almost ready to pull the trigger on the Heresy III for my Mystere tube amp by sister company PrimaLuna. In my reading it seem like the H3 a... | |
| < $3000 speaker recommendation for tube integrated amp? I see Ref 3a gets a lot of recommendations. Will strongly consider it. | |
| < $3000 speaker recommendation for tube integrated amp? Tektons are unusual looking speakers w their tweeter array. A little unconventional for me. Zu is a good looking speaker. | |
| < $3000 speaker recommendation for tube integrated amp? Ref 3a and Tektons seems like good options too. GSM, a call to Zu Audio is a good suggestion. | |
| < $3000 speaker recommendation for tube integrated amp? Zu Omen 2 and Klipsch Hersey III were on my list but was thinking if I went to $3k I might do better. My amp is dead quiet now with average efficiency speakers.I will look into Devore and Nola. I’m slow and methodical so it will be a while before ... | |
| Emotiva separates or Yamaha AVR recommendation? I'm aware about the importance of similar LCR speakers but when I had a system years ago I liked the improved dialogue clarity and positioning w/ a high quality center even if it didn't match. I don't plan on changing speaker at present and plan t... | |
| Emotiva separates or Yamaha AVR recommendation? I had a lower end Yamaha Aventage AVR a few years ago and didn’t find any adverse effect bi-amping, before moving back to a 2 channel set-up, though I didn’t notice much sonic difference, just easier on the amp. Thanks for the heads up that Emotiv... | |
| Audio output for a non-HDMI pre-amp I may be late to the game, but I find the sound from my player to my DAC (via coaxial) surpasses the sound of the player to the HDTV (via HDMI) then to the DAC (via optical cable) by a noticeable margin. The TV seems to lower the sound quality a f... | |
| Primaluna EVO 300 or Carey 120S MKII? I've had Cary and their sister company Audio Electronics in the past. I have always loved the musical and large sound it produced. Definitely on the warm romantic side of things, yet w/ good detail with a big soundstage from memory. I currently ow... | |
| Basic integrated amp for $700-$900 Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I will not be purchasing and amp w/ dac and phono onboard, because there is no reason to pay for these items that are average and won't be used. There are plenty of higher end integrateds w/o them so I'll probabl... | |
| Separate Phono Pre - $$ before I will hear a SIGNIFICANT difference vs. integrated? Geeqner,"Q1. How likely is it that something affordable (Like Schiit Mani around $130 USD or Mofi Studio?) will sound equal to or better than the phono stage of the NAD 7220PE Receiver that I am presently using?"Funny you mention NAD and Schiit. I... | |
| Basic integrated amp for $700-$900 I agree Tlinkie.Thanks Canerod for your personal endorsement of MF and simplifying too, plus the match with Schiit and MF products.Firberger, though I thought about the Sphinx years ago, now I’m not sure I want an amp w/ class D amp and on board p... | |
| Basic integrated amp for $700-$900 Seams like some good options out there. Creek is a good suggestion for me, as well as used units at a higher initial price. I've just begun my search. I've fallen in love with my phono preamp and dac that I'm using w my tube amp and would like to... | |
| Basic integrated amp for $700-$900 "You know its serious when you read, "with a silver face plate." "HaHa"There are some really nice integrated tube pieces in that price range. Hybrid or not."Thanks, I’m actually moving from a tube integrated to a solid state amp, (optionally w/ a ... | |
| Basic integrated amp for $700-$900 Thanks for your suggestions so far. Remember I want integrated amp w/o DAC or Phono stage, with Silver faceplate (not too tall if possible). Looks like the Musical Fidelity or a used Exposure if available are closet to what I’m looking for. Vincen... |
