| Phono Preamp for Thorens TD203 w/ Ortofon 2m Blue Cartridge is properly aligned. Room is a bit echoey, but never sounded as thin and bright as I'm hearing now. In what ways will the Mani help the sound, as in what is its sonic signature? What phono stage would be a better match within reason.? | |
| In need high-efficency speakers I'm not really fond of the look of the Betsy speakers. I'd consider the drivers and build my own baffles to my taste. | |
| In need high-efficency speakers Those speakers are surely great ones to have, but they may be a little large for our living room and wife's acceptance. | |
| In need high-efficency speakers One thing to be aware of, according to Great Plains Audiio, is alnico magnets loose some of their magnetism over time and need to be re- magnetized. At least it was ther claim on Altec speakers w alnico magnets. YMMV | |
| In need high-efficency speakers Thanks jacks on the heads up. Used to live in Chicago 13 years ago. If I can find Zu listing I can see if my bro can pick up, but he's out of town a lot | |
| In need high-efficency speakers I've done many a stupid thing in the past and parting with this system about 4 years ago has to be at the top of the list. | |
| In need high-efficency speakers Thanks for all the feedback on the Omega’s w/ alnico magnet. Makes me wonder why I sold my Altec Lansing Model 15 a few years back w/ their bent horn and 12" alnico magnet woofer.Here's a photo of them on the Great Plains website...don't know how ... | |
| In need high-efficency speakers Thanks FourwindsGoldenEar looks nice but a bit lower efficiency than I wanted.Jayctoy,I've looked at Omegas, look interesting. Wonder how they sound compared to Zu? | |
| In need high-efficency speakers I didn't think it was necessary, because I was interested in Klipsch Heresy III or Zu Omen 2, and even Zu DW2. | |
| In need high-efficency speakers Al and David_ten, There is nothing wrong w/ the amp and tubes have little hours on them according to Echo Hi-Fi. My speakers are great too. The sound is lovely w/ music. I think the imagined hardening is greater dynamics in a lively living room w/... | |
| In need high-efficency speakers 13blm,Yes I'm aware of the trade offs. I'm slow and sure before making purchases. When we're no longer able to be content with the lower volume for movies/tv I'll make the plunge. But the Klipsch and Zu are at the top of my short list. | |
| In need high-efficency speakers Tekton...got to love spell check when in a hurry. | |
| In need high-efficency speakers To all Teton lovers responding. Tectonic 'the perfect set' looks interesting, though unusual looking and a bit lower in efficiency. | |
| In need high-efficency speakers Btw Al, Mystere doesn't have regular rotary pot volume but resister ladder control, if that matters. | |
| In need high-efficency speakers Ok Ill turn the volume up more. Was afraid of damaging amp and/or speakers. Hardening may just be room reflections in lively space.Decvans,Thanks for your listening experience w Heresy III. I'm excited about the prospect of owning them, but it ma... |
