We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often
I have been around the block with Apogee speakers back in the day, including the Scintilla ( I actually owned, for a year, the Duettas ). My question was, as stated, " adequately " drive? I am not fond of tube amps ( low / poor damping factor ), w...

Ralph, so the answer is = none. My best, MrD.  
What can beat Wilson XVX for less money?
Any listener, not caring about what the musician ( s ) intended, tells me all I need to know about the listener. Good luck with that, and Enjoy ! MrD.

What tube amps ( tubes used in the output stage ) can " adequately " drive 1 ohm Scintillas ? I am not aware of any, and would like to know, so I may sleep better tonight. My best, MrD.  
Volti Experience !
@riaa_award_collectors_on_facebook I do not speak to viber, as I assume he has jumped on the Jay wagon, which is the furthest of any group I would jump in on. I am enjoying my LSs. Enjoy, and always, my best. MrD.  
Volti Experience !
Congrats to all of the happy Volti owners. @riaa_award_collectors_on_facebook , hello my friend. My question to you is.....do you ever listen to music, through your vast arsenal of audio purchases ? I hope you do. You can send those RAZZ to me, lo... 
Klipsch Jubilee & Klipschorn Experience
I have used ss with horns for years, and admittedly, some ss can be harsh. But I would blame the room and set up, more than the amplification. Phusis, in his last paragraph of his latest post, makes a lot of sense. I know people who cannot handle ...

That would be too close for me, for what I am looking for. Enjoy ! MrD.  
Nuforce STA200 issue. Rumble every couple minutes
@kray, it was designed to work with a passive preamp. @Mesch, it is not the perfect amplifier ( point me in the direction of " the one ", please ). Knowing it’s limitations, I bought my 1st one, and based on how much I enjoyed it, I quickly sold o...

@skinzy, what I am saying is, musicians listen to specific characteristics within the recorded music, different than the typical audiophile. How I see the typical audiophile and listener today, soundstaging and imaging seems to be the biggest thin... 
Klipsch Jubilee & Klipschorn Experience
@souljasmooth what is your room size, and how far do you sit from your Jubilees ? I sit 8ft away from my Lascalas, and this works great for me. I cannot imagine Jubilees in my room, as I mentioned in a prior post. My best, MrD.

A great song by CCR...." Keep On Chooglin "...see ( listen ) to how your system responds......  
Nuforce STA200 issue. Rumble every couple minutes
The STA200 is an incredible amp, given the " proper system " it is paired with, and of course, the $499 selling price. People are giving them away it seems.

@ricevs " tweeter and mids ".....high frequencies and midrange. The Jubilee is a two way design, which I believe you understand. Paul always wanted a TOTL 2 way, and Roy took it to market🙂. My best, MrD.
