| Best vintage amps (late 70s / early 80s) under $3k? I do not believe a vtg McIntosh ss amp is as good sounding as the M22, given my own ownership and listening experiences. I gave you a solid recommendation. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Best vintage amps (late 70s / early 80s) under $3k? I am not familiar with your speakers, and based on the name description, cannot find them on the net. I have owned the Pioneer Series 20 M22 and know it well. Does the amp clip ? 30 watts of class a power should be ok, even with your speakers, par... | |
| Klipsch Heresy 1 Compatibility question with Class D Amp Dampen the mid horns of the Heresys. I speak about it a lot on other threads. It will remove some of the edge and smooth things out. But, smaller and simpler amps sound best ( less output transistors, class A, or tubes ).Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Upgrade from ADS L1230 I totally agree with yogiboy. Are the ADS speakers " stable " with the floor ( spiked in some way ) ? If the cabinets move, even a hair, this would make the bass sound " sluggish ". Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Connect a sub to stereo system Sorry. I be mistaken. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Connect a sub to stereo system The best way to connect a sub, ime, is coming off the speaker outputs of the amp into the speaker inputs of the sub. It will be more coherent. Enjoy ! MrD. | |

| NuForce STA 200 I had a CC2 and BT2 back then. The amp in particular, was exceptional for what it was. Considering the age and technology of the components in the CC2, my bet is on the Nuforce. However, a complete rebuild of the CC2 might be very enjoyable. Enjoy... | |
| What speakers would be an upgrade from my klipsch la scallas and my Klipsch Chorus Wolf, great..........subtle is good I suppose. I hear dramatic changes each and every time I do it. My ears are very tuned to the differences. With time, I believe, with recently listened to familiar music, you will hear a cleaner presentation. En... | |
| NuForce STA 200 Ditto on a 2nd unit. | |
| NuForce STA 200 The original $ 1299. price for the STA 200 was not going to work, simply because the JOB 225 was $1599., more power and bridgeable. However, the technology is almost exact, and when Nuforce decided to deliver them to their dealers for far less, th... | |
| Revel F35 vs Klipsch Heresy II or maybe III When someone mentions Miles Davis recordings, it brings me to that early time in my life that I heard a set of Khorns, and I knew this was the reproduction I wanted. I owned Khorns for 2 years, as, I had a place with ideal corners to accommodate t... | |
| Krell KSA100 vs Threshold 400A vs McCormack DNA 0.5 Not familiar with ( have not heard ) Morrison speakers, but why not give the Nuforce STA 200 a try. $499. from Audio Advisor, and can be returned if you do not like it. I like it very much, and feel it is a "sleeper ". I do feel it betters many am... | |
| Best speaker/system piano concerts Yes, I believe in speed, and that 4 letter word " prat ". | |
| Nuprime st10 or nuforce sta200, or parasound a23 I leave all of my solid state gear on 24 / 7, unless I am away overnight or for longer. I cannot say what your ears prefer, but I have given up on tubes, for now ( which in a way is a shame, because I run horns ). At 64 years old, I am appreciatin... |
