| Recommendations on Integrated Tube Amp around $5k $5k. A used Jadis DA60 caught my eye but I'd really like to have a remote volume control (which I don't believe the Jadis offers ~~~~~~~~~~~~Any of the jadis Intergrateds Thinbs up, except the I50, not sure about the KT150 performance, which ... | |
| Holographic Soundstage ? Also know that that holographic sound quality is partly due to what's coming out of your source components. ~~~~~~~~~~Well yes, I just added a Philips 777 phono to my sources. Phono is superior to cds, but my classical collection is mostly cd ... | |
| Holographic Soundstage ? I always found imaging was more a function of the speakers ~~~~~~~~~~~~WOW alot of posts up above i have yet to read. But anyway, I agree here, speakers is the actual voice to the other components. So the idea of ~3D~I interpret as Soundstage/w... | |
| Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ? Class A runs very hot and very inefficient , big watts in pure class A is big bucks ~~~~~~~~~And when one's listening room is located in say Here in New Orleans, or Phoenix, or South Florida, , the heat factor of a class A amplifier is a imp... | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer I was with you in the wideband hi-eff thread, but this 10" theory makes little sense. ~~~~~~~~~~~~Not sure what topic i posted, that i am now of the opinion, dual 6.5's superior toa single 8 or 10.The Seas Excel W18 are so well behaved in 40h... | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer hi-eff 1.5" tweeter (seas t35 are 96 db) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~When i order a new pair of Millenium, instead the far superior dome tweet is this Exotic T35 you mentioned.Its 94db eff.No doubt would have blown away the Millenium and thus , may have bee... | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer Full range drivers are always a complete compromise anyways where you sacrifice some aspect of the sound/characteristics to get what you want. It is actually incredibly difficult to engineer and manufacture a full range driver that really works... | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer I have efficient speakers, 100-104dB. Not sure. It can become an issue if, between amplifier and preamplifier, you have too much gain. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~wow 100+ db eff. Thats super sens. My 8 Fr is like 94 the Thor 6.5 duals are 87db, Both h... | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer There has been a small revival in higher efficiency speakers and lower-powered amps, but, it remains a boutique community ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Guess what?I just brought both low and high db efficiency together. ~~How is that even remotely possibl... | |
| PP amp + High sensivity speakers dilemma particular sound of the alternative tube. I happen to prefer the sound of some lower output tubes than the KT88, but, that is a personal preference. If your amp can accept alternative tubes, or your tech can modify the amp to accept such tubes... | |
| PP amp + High sensivity speakers dilemma Just pad down your pre-amp interconnects with an coaxial attenuator. ~~~~~~~~~I'll let Ricahrd know of this possibility, Just got word froma Vox dealer, says his audio showrooms does employ some PP amplification on the Vox derivers with no iss... | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer I am listening to right now, a 15 that is 95db sensitivity, but only goes down to 38hz ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I would have figured a 15 goes BELOW 20hz.. Ok so the inner core also makes a huge dif on how low a 8 inch will go.Look Vox/USA just r... | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer In any case, I suggest a bit more civility ladies and gentlemen. There's simply not enough of it in the world IMHO. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Appreciate the back supportBut this is Audiogon, a few snides here and there, is all part of the discussion. Ju... |
