| Cabinet resonance problem with Marantz MM9340 amplifier Some article. TY. I guess it would not harm anything by investing in one. | |
| Paul Klipsch was right - What the world needs is a good 5 watt amplifier I recently sold locally a Pass ACA amp I had purchased 2nd hand. With my listening habits being what they are, it did not adequately power my Lascalas. | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... @ieales has mentioned, those V-FET amplifiers sounded very nice ( I owned a Yam B2 ), and I regret selling it ( it needed an over hall and rebuild, and I did not want to do it at that time ( the v-fets were fine ). I have many regrets of gear I ha... | |
| Cabinet resonance problem with Marantz MM9340 amplifier Although I am on a dedicated circuit, I own a particular Hafler designed amp ( Smart Theater Systems TA 242 I acquired from a going out of business movie theater ) that uses a toroidal transformer. When connected through my system, the transformer... | |
| For all you Bose 901 Haters! Not to be my picky self again, but the Advent was a two way speaker and did not have a 3rd driver for those mid frequency bands. I am certain it was the tweeters that crapped out. All good ! BTW, I also played around with stacked Advents, and alth... | |
| For all you Bose 901 Haters! @firberger ...Never a need to apologize. All is good ! I am just " that way ". I am enjoying your posts. As far as memory, I only remember audio related stuff, and as an almost 68 year old, my ears are still working, which is a surprise. Was the t... | |
| For all you Bose 901 Haters! SAE used model numbers, 2600, etc; the GAS brand used names, such as Ampzilla, Aurora, Charlie, to be specific; the same designer James Bongiorno, RIP ( in most cases ), with the amps. | |
| Cornwall IV speaker placement guidance BTW....nice room and gear. I am not seeing your listening chair, but based on what I am seeing, you have way too much toe in. Is it possible to grab a computer chair and sit right at the toe in axis they are at now. This will simplify the toe in e... | |
| Cornwall IV speaker placement guidance The Cornwall IV is a front ported speaker ( CWs always has been, as far as I know ), designed to have greater versatility with room set up, corner or against a wall ( not necessarily out in the open back then, although it works ). The owners I spe... | |
| Paul Klipsch was right - What the world needs is a good 5 watt amplifier I cannot name this individual ( it is not me )....He owns top of the line CJ gear / Avantgarde horns....Based on my very positive recent talks with him about a chip amp I have been listening to, he went ahead and purchased the PA5, AND LOVES IT. H... | |
| AR-2ax. On the Prowl. Typical Issues??? A great speaker, 2nd only to the 3a. An amplifier, such as an original Ampzilla ( going back in time, and although later than the ARs ) would be fabulous, assuming the speakers are rebuilt.....ime, woofer surround, crossover, rear attenuation cont... | |
| Is there any one piece of vintage gear you most wished you owned? JohnK, great choice, but my room size, my listening distance, and / or, I would need to sit several feet higher from the floor. 😟 | |
| Cabinet resonance problem with Marantz MM9340 amplifier Just following up. Any news for us ? | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... Audiophile meaning : Wikipedia : Is a person who is enthusiastic about high fidelity sound reproduction. Seeks to reproduce the sound of a live musical performance. There are other definitions if you google it. My addition to this meaning, is that... | |
| Who actually heard the Infinity IRS? @klh007 , I had that same system, including one of a number of MC step up devices, until you mentioning the Premier 5s ( did not like tube amp bass then, nor now ); of course I did not have the IRSV. I know someone here made it very clear that Pau... |
