Horn Speaker Recommendations
I agree, the Trios are in a different league above the other AGs. But I disagree about them working in a small room. My experience with them ( my buddy owned them, he was the Jadis importer at the time ), tells a different story. Listening too clo...

Horn Speaker Recommendations
I have heard many excellent horn systems in my years, and truly appreciate the full range horns ( into the sub region ) the most. Phusis knows of what he speaks. Stringreen, I think I should jump on a Vandersteen thread, and mention : of all of th... 
what is more important ?
Speakers, room, and driving amplifier ( s ). At the same time, I can also say : Transport, digital cable, dac, ic, amp, speaker and room. This one track makes everything very obvious. A must have for everyone ( i posted this on the music thread qu... 
what is more important ?
A few weekends ago, I went to someones house who purchased a power amplifier from me, as I have been selling off much of my collection, locally. The purpose of my visit was to help him to fine tune his system. I brought with me some of my cds that... 
Preamp suggestions
I prefer not having a built in dac in a preamp / integrated amp, as dacs are ever so changing, and as much of an excellent design it could be, digital circuits, ime, can effect, badly, analog circuits. Down to the shared power supplies and power c... 
Suggestions on turntable to pair with Rogue RP-7 > Finale 300B SET monos > Heresy 3's
Another thing. This post might have been more beneficial if it was on the analog thread ( more opinions given on lp playback gear ), and, I have used words, such as asshole, in some of my posts here, and my posts were deleted by Agon. 
Suggestions on turntable to pair with Rogue RP-7 > Finale 300B SET monos > Heresy 3's
I am 65, retired from the audio business, very much still involved in audio, music listening, and the associated equipment. Three years ago, I sold my record collection of 6000 lps, my 2 high end vinyl playback systems, and went through a time of ... 
Why No McIntosh Recommendations?
FYI...The MC 2200 was rated, by Mcintosh, at 200 wpc, not 250 wpc.  
Job SYS closed business
Job had only a few products, the 225 amp being the biggest seller. Unfortunately for Job, Nuforce was licensed the amp topology from Goldmund, and the STA 200 took off, at the great price of $499. I know people who sold the Job 225, purchased the ... 
Preamp suggestions
Just a clear up here. Your speakers are the Snell E series 2, not Klipsch Cornwalls, as mistaken by George ( which is surprising, as George is rarely wrong on these pages ). Easily, a 9 db difference in efficiency, so passive is a bit more questio... 
Looking to Add to my 7100
mantaman. You might not like what I am about to tell you, but I feel my information will be critical to you. First, on a positive note, your Solo speakers are / were an excellent design for their size, and a wonderful 1st product line from Phil Jo... 
used Integrated tube amp under $1500 for Klipsch Cornwall III's?
Keep in mind, tubes are microphonic, both mechanically, and acoustically.... 
used Integrated tube amp under $1500 for Klipsch Cornwall III's?
My 1st question would be, what are you not liking about the Forte 111s ?, although, they are not optimum in corners because of the rear facing passives, so that could be it. If corner placement is desirable, get a pair of 2nd hand Lascalas, as the... 
Sound quality vs. volume
Less than 1/2 volume, and everything sounds good. Is this based on the volume control setting on the Peachtree, or, with an spl meter ? Closer to live volume levels ? Could be terrible room reflections, and improper bass loading because of the hig...
