| Question about wpc on tube amps IME tube preamp gets you most of the way there with much more power available. | |
| The most tower like stand mount under $4k Well probably a 3 way would be closest to the norm tower speaker. Little less bass because of cabinet volume etc. KEF has one I believe, Tekton Impact Monitor, Paradigm S4 (older) but kick ass, I think Salk makes one. uhhh I’m sure there’s more ... | |
| Digital Dilemma The Holo Red streamer looks interesting for under a grand. Also includes a ddc and I2S output. | |
| Bass only when I stand up… Bass is more non directional. When you stand up the mids and highs are going to be potentially much less. Think that could have anything to do with less perceived bass from standing? | |
| Krell KSA 200s with BW Matrix I do really really like the amp even though I have a weird grounding issue going on I haven’t figured out. Just have all the components hooked up in the chain to the amp on cheater plugs. Tons of power, slamming bass, great tube like mid range to ... | |
| Thinking about selling my Vincent 737 I agree with Russ above. Your integrated is fairly powerful and really well reviewed. I would look at speakers 1st then look at a new amp later if you still feel the need to do so. | |
| New KEF R11 META : The Real Giant Killers ! I think a lot of it has to do with: 1. Too many cooks in the kitchen and voices of the final outcome. Nitpicking every cost saving measure and profit maximizing they can. 2. Dealer markup is number one by far. Which is totally justified but is ... | |
| Are carbon fiber speaker cabinets inherently better than wood or metal ones Seems with 3d printers it would be pretty easy to build a carbon fiber enclosure. I know they aren’t real quick but with 2 way fancy monitorS going for 5 figures seems like 12 hours (or whatever) in a printer wouldn’t be that much of a deal. | |
| There's No Question I found the DIs rather different than a lot of speakers. The cabinets are crap and at high volumes that empty sound came through. The tweeter mid range array I believe there is something to that. Stringed guitars you could hear every stroke and it... | |
| Subwoofers: add a JL Audio or switch to 2 Rythmic subs? JL and Rythmic do bass differently. My complaint about my Rythmic is the lack of punch. Not saying there is none but not like the JL punch you in the gut bass. The Rythmic does blend very well. Personally I would pony up for the JL. | |
| There's No Question I found they like to be closer together than a lot of other speakers. Miss mine. | |
| Krell KSA 200s ground hum I REALLY appreciate the ideas! You guys are kinda talking over my head right now. Not sure what was said in the last few posts that I can physically apply or check for a resolution. I need something like : take your meter, put it here.. look ... | |
| Krell KSA 200s ground hum @jea48 “Are you using the OEM power cord that came with the Krell Amp? Is there a ground loop hum with only the preamp connected to the Krell amp? (Nothing connected to any of the inputs on the preamp. No other type of ground wire(s) connecte... | |
| Krell KSA 200s ground hum No it’s at least 2 ft away from the closest component. | |
| Krell KSA 200s ground hum I can have just one of my grounded components plugged into the dedicated line with the amp. Any of them. When I hook it up via rca to the amp the hum is pretty loud. Float the ground in that component and the hum is gone. |
