| Conrad Johnson ET-3 vs Premier 10/14 ? Yes Pops, it seems the drive toward detail and resolution is difficult to stop. I think the Premier was a good balance in my system, but I have the MV-60 and Quads too, so plenty of warmth and musicality there. I wish I knew whether the ET-3 was s... | |
| Conrad Johnson ET-3 vs Premier 10/14 ? Also, I really don't want to pay for a 17, so interested in ET-3 vs Premier 14 if anyone can comment. | |
| Conrad Johnson ET-3 vs Premier 10/14 ? I thought I had read that the 16 was much closer to neutral than the older (14 and earlier) or the 17? Can you tell me why you think the 17 might be better than the 14 or CT-3?Thanks! | |
| EL 34 Amp Recommendations I use a Conrad Johnson MV-60 with a 2wq now, and absolutely love it. The magic midrange, beautifully natural sound, and dynamics are great since the 2wq takes a lot of the heavy lifting. The MV-60SE is supposed to be more neutral, which is not som... | |
| Vandersteen 2Wq crossover My issue seems to be solved! I talked to Richard Vandersteen and he told me I could use an M5-HP dip setting one below the recommended impedance to simulate a lower (80hz) cross point. Two below at most. Far more importantly, he guessed that my Sn... | |
| Vandersteen 2Wq crossover One correction: typo... my amp is MV-60, not MV-50 | |
| Vandersteen 2Wq crossover I should have said before this is single ended (RCA). My amp is CJ MV-50 with 100k input impedance. Also, I favor a rich lower mid so prefer slightly lower cross where possible, such as 60 hz. My speakers are Snell Type A so flat to 35 or so.The p... | |
| Vandersteen 2Wq crossover OK, I'm not totally clear on this. So the dip switches, as they adjust for amp input impedance they also move the crossover point up and down? Sounds like you are saying I should just keep trying lower and lower impedance settings, which will effe... | |
| Vandersteen 2Wq crossover Thanks, Bondmanp. I ended up finding a pair of M5-HPs. Now my problem is the crossover points don't match (sub at 80, M5-HP at 100hz) and there is a huge hole in the midbass. The M5-HPs are adjustable for amp input impedance, but can the crossover... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Fun thread. I have to mention Snell Type A or AII. Owned them once, stupidly sold them, and after many other speakers came and went (B&W, ProAC, Spendor) I finally went back. I am a midrange freak and like a full lower mid without the suckout ... | |
| Vandersteen 2Wq crossover Hi. This thread is interesting because I just bought a 2wq without any WX-2 or X-2. I have been wondering what people listen for when deciding the optimum impedance for the crossover... does the impedance value only change the crossover point, or ... | |
| Hi, need help with Snell Type a iii Hi! I was hoping to ask Fishboat about his experience with AII's vs AIII's. I used to own AII's and LOVED them. Sold them foolishly to please my wife. Now I have original A's but am thinking about some AIII's. Would you mind contrasting the AII's ... | |
| snell a II This is an old thread, but wondering if anyone knows if there is much sonic difference between the AII and the original A. I owned the AII for years and loved them. Stupidly sold them. Just decided to buy a pair of original A's and really like the... | |
| Help choosing a Conrad Johnson preamp If anyone is still on this thread:Solst1ce: Did you get a Premier 10? If so, what do you think of its sound? I am thinking of buying one.Breuninger: With all your experience with the Premier 10, could you elaborate just a bit about their sound? Wo... | |
| Snell Type A Serial ' 1485, 1486 I know this is an old thread, but I wondered if you ever arrived at a clear delineator between A and AII. I'm thinking of buying a pair from someone. They have separately fused woofer, mid, tweeter. I used to own AII's (miss them dearly!) and they... |
