How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years?
ahofer, I appreciate your response. Listen, I am a simple guy, but very complex when it concerns audio gear, and more importantly, music listening. I know what I know, I hear what I hear, and, there are so many of us, as I am not a lone exception.... 
How come Horn + woofer designs are not more popular?
I like horn speakers, but, not everyone, and this is ok. It is obvious the folks you are speaking about like horns. JBL makes horns for the home and professional market, and there are many more companies as well. What sounds good to us ? Each pers... 
How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years?
ahofer, Maybe we can get together, at my home, using my system, with me blindfolded, and you change out a few amplifiers of your choosing. I will want a 3rd party here. I believe you have stated in other posts of yours, that you do hear difference... 
How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years?
Ahofer, set it up for me with Shaw, and I will do it, no problem. I am sorry if you feel I do not agree with my interpretation of what I just read. By your response, I am not sure you hear differences in amplification, not even to determine if one... 
How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years?
wolf, I had no idea if roberjerman was in a band, nor am I claiming hearing loss of any band members, as I was a singer in a band. But for someone as he, to claim, differences in amplifiers do not exist ( and to have a " collection " of them ), mu... 
How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years?
I will take this challenge. It would be difficult for me, or anyone for that matter, to convince anyone else that differences are heard, unless they heard it too. If I were doing the amp comparison through my own system, in my own room, with my ow... 
Bi amp pros out there I could use some help! First time Bi Amping...
I have been an advocate of passive vertical biamping forever, because, speakers such as the Dunlavy line, easily show sonic differences between amplifiers, and to maintain coherence, it is the only way to go. Not to mention, the amplifiers maintai... 
Klipsch Belle center channel hook-up
Will, take it easy, we are trying to help you. Are you saying that there are 3 boards, each the size of a single crossover ? Two 5 way input connectors jumped together seems it was made for biamping or biwiring. Center speakers connect the same as... 
Klipsch Belle center channel hook-up
Autospec, I am a Klipsch guy ( never worked for them, but 50 years of Klipsch in my blood ). Many Belles were sold as single center speakers, during the days of monaural, to fill the empty gap between the wide distance between the corner horns ( K... 
How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years?
roberjerman, I obviously have been mistaken, so I apologize. So you do believe, good amplifiers, sound different from one another, and that some, such as your Bel, sound superior. Great, we are getting somewhere. And, you purchased a Pangea cord, ... 
Speaker advice for listening to Blues music
I would like to point out, that when the Advent was introduced, it was a game changer that allowed so many young folks, in college, or in life, to realize excellent hifi on a budget. Yes, they were a steal back then. I still appreciate them, but, ... 
Speaker advice for listening to Blues music
Helomech, imo, you seem to rely on test reports and magazine reviews, rather than trying to figure out what you like, and want, in a system. If you are happy with the Advents, great for you. What have you modified / upgraded concerning the Heresy ... 
How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years?
stringreen, I have to ask, as I might have missed something, so sorry...have you tried using another amp during this time, and have you completely reversed the left and right channels of the system, into the speakers ? In other words, the left spe... 
Bi amp pros out there I could use some help! First time Bi Amping...
AL, my thoughts exactly ! lol

mgatt, you should have heard the Krell’s replacement ( whatever you purchased to replace it ), in your system before you sold it. Live an learn. Enjoy ! MrD.
