| How much power can a pair of Klipsch La Scalas take ? I am always rotating power amps through my Lascalas. My Yamaha pro amps have a red led indicator per channel that show when 1/2 watt has been reached, and it is plenty loud for me. At the level the OP is listening, there are many areas of the Lasc... | |
| Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers I agree, and if I were able to build a special room specifically to accommodate the Khorns ( room corners become part of the doghouse ), and then get rid of some of the other room corner " problems ", I would own a pair. Some of the best systems I... | |
| New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000 Some people will buy an Aiwa mini system for a couple hundred bucks. This might be a budget thing, or, they are happy listening to music through it because.........., wait for it,.......they are not us. These ( the DD amps ), are for the wealthy. ... | |
| "Bookshelf" speakers designed to be placed near the wall behind them? Klipsch Heresy 3. Read the many positive reviews. A fun, musical speaker. | |
| New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000 @michaelgreen............Ditto ! Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! Kosst, HiFi is growing, to the audiophile market, not the general public. There are numerous new audio product companies popping up all of the time, and those existing, introducing new products. You need to separate the "audio community " from the... | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? Dick Olsher, in the Absolute Sound, gave them a nice review back in November of 2012. Another nice review was written by Jeff Dorgay in Tone....... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? @mitch2 I have owned a few pieces of Steve’s equipment, including his original line drive unit ( which I understand was not buffered ). I still always preferred a preamp. Maybe I should try a device as you are suggesting. BTW, I always read your c... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? So, impedance matching, and gain, are both important ? | |
| Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers I meant to say Walnut oil and Oak oil. Also, the crossovers have always been housed in the mid / tweeter section. That's all. Thank you. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers @steve59 The couple of main differences between the early Lascala and the series II, are : ( 1 ) went from 3/4 inch birch ply to 1 inch birch ply and MDF, in the cabinet design. The dog houses ( woofer sections ) were resonant in the originals. Th... | |
| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! @trelja Victor is as nice a guy you could ever meet. A great salesman ( not like the old type car salesman ). Charming, passionate, and a real lover of music / equipment. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Since the topic is really about " gain ", let me say this. I have a large assortment of amplifiers, included a few pro amps, which all have input gain controls. Using these amplifiers, I have a choice, of keeping the controls on the amps at max, a... | |
| My Quicksilver preamp inverts polarity Throughout my systems, I have an Adcom GDA 700 and an Audio Alchemy DDE V 3.0, and they both have phase switches. So it was known way back then that many cds were recorded out of phase ( as well as some equipment reversing phase ). Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Best Recording of Scheherazade Hearing it " Live " must have been incredible. No one mentioned Peter Cetera's version, with backing vocals by Madonna, lol. Enjoy ! MrD. |
