| 300B SET Amp driving Wilson Sabrinas I’m wondering if the Korneff amp delivers exceptionally high current and can handle lower impedances better than most other SET amps. I corresponded with Jeff Korneff many years ago and he indicated his amps are overbuilt with the highest quality ... | |
| 300B SET Amp driving Wilson Sabrinas @atmasphere Prior to the Snells I had Tekton Lores and Klipsch Fortes, both driven by the Korneff amp. Considering both are rated at 98db and 8 ohms, I was shocked when the Snells sounded better, even before I added a sub. I never imagined an amp ... | |
| 300B SET Amp driving Wilson Sabrinas I have a Korneff 45 SET w/EML Meshplates (3.5 w/ch) that are driving 40 year old Snell Type K bookshelf speakers. I’m amazed at how engaging the music is, although it’s by no means concert level SPL. The speakers are only rated at 90db efficiency ... | |
| Bass: Jolida 502A + Klipsch Forte When I purchased the speakers five years ago I noticed they seemed a bit heavier than the spec'd 56 lbs. I decided to weigh them and they tipped the scale at 85 lbs. I noticed they had plywood flush and screwed into the base. I began to remove the... | |
| Bass: Jolida 502A + Klipsch Forte Saulgold,The most important consideration is room acoustics. Bass traps in the corners of the room will significantly help with bass extension. I have Fortes and recently made DIY corner traps with Owens 703 rigid fiberglass. This simple, inexpens... | |
| Decware Zen Taboo Scott,That does help. I've had the Forte's for five years and found great improvement when I upgraded the crossovers. They are very revealing of any problems upstream. There are times when they sound a tad bright but this has just as much to do wi... | |
| Decware Zen Taboo Scott,I see you're enjoying the new Merlin speakers and wonder how they compare to the Klipsch Forte's. Mine are modified with upgraded crossovers, 30 lbs. of sand in the base, and anchored with Audio Points brass spikes. They sound fantastic at m... | |
| Decware Zen Taboo Klipschfan - I assume I don't need 115db+ to reach concert level sound in my 16'x20' room. I remember as a kid reading that The Who held the world record at the time for the loudest concert - 120db "Live at Leeds". I really have no reference other... | |
| Decware Zen Taboo I generally can't turn the volume knob much past 11 o'clock before it gets to ear-bleeding spl. The thing that has me interested in Decware is the theory that the first waat is most important. I've found that late night listening with the Quicksil... | |
| Schumann Resonance and it's effect on music VH Audio carries the Acoustic Revive RR-77. All of the cables I've purchased from Chris have been outstanding. I'd be surprised to find that he's selling a product targeted at the snake oil crowd. The link from his website that further explains Sc... | |
| Power Cord Revelation Jylee - Interesting story. I guess the thing that makes me a believer is I've been piecing my audio system together for the past five years. I've done this in a very logical way, starting at the source and moving downstream. Over the years my abil... | |
| Power Cord Revelation Does anyone have an explanation for how a single power cord can transform the sound of an entire system? This defies logic for me. I've focused on what I consider crucial areas to build a good sounding audio system - well designed components, acou... | |
| Help I think my AC is polluted It appears that an iso transformer may be the answer to this problem. From what I've read, the iso transformer will take care of external AC noise, voltage fluctuations, and DC finding its way into the house. I'm first going to call the power comp... | |
| Help I think my AC is polluted Zargon - Thanks for the informative post. What is the cost of an isolation transformer such as the Topaz? How much work is it for an electrician to install? I had one hell of a time getting an electrician to do two dedicated lines. Would this be a... | |
| Help I think my AC is polluted Thanks for all the quick responses. I'll try to answer all your questions in order.Kr4 - Presently I don't really have a way to run the system on battery power. If I go in that direction, is there a product on the market that can power my entire s... |
