How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years?
Heat sinks are very resonant, in most designs. And, every transformer has an amount of physical vibration. Isolating both of these issues display an increase in sq. Roberjerman, you are a character. I am sure, at this moment, you do have more equi... 
How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years?
Hogwash. All amplifiers have a sound, and are distinctly different from one another. Which you prefer has many factors, such as the speakers being driven, with their sensitivity and impedance. Amps can change a little from the output source impeda... 
Bi amp pros out there I could use some help! First time Bi Amping...
Specifically, the amp with the higher gain ( the amp that plays louder at the same preamp level ) would need to have a stereo input level control, so you can turn it down a bit. The Bay has plenty, just type in " passive level control ". Douk Audi... 
Help, is 15 watts p/c enough for a small room
I would also like to add, that these receivers, and other Japanese audio equipment from the mid 70s, were cheap several years ago. But now, they are demanding high dollars. Most need a good cleaning, and some require a rebuild / restoration. This ... 
Help, is 15 watts p/c enough for a small room
Nice sounding unit, for what it is. Is this den system going to be your main listening room ? As stated above : Speaker sensitivity, impedance, listening levels, and the kind of music listened to, such as full, all out orchestral, disco, reggae, a... 
Speaker of the Century Award Goes To ....
Helo, Monitor Audio had a few " lines " of speakers, and I agree that the more affordable lines left a lot to be desired. But, if you are saying that the Advents are, by todays standards, capable of annihilating them, in what specific areas of mus... 
JBL 100 Classic or Klipsch Heresy III?
The Forte 3s are wonderful. They need to be at least 8 inches off the back wall to allow the 15 in. passives to breath, and they are a much larger box. No subs needed. So yes, recommended. 
On neutrality, eyeglasses, speakers and joy.
Eric, I understand you enjoy your bass and treble tone controls on your Lux, and probably the loudness control. However, the tone controls, in shaping, are inadequate, ime. Schiit makes an eq, the Loki, and it will be substantially superior to you... 
JBL 100 Classic or Klipsch Heresy III?
A pair of Heresy, with your PrimaLuna, would be awesome. As mentioned above, efficient, and an easy load. The PrimaLuna would thrive, never break a sweat, as will the Heresys. Heresy against a wall. No problem. Need a sub or 2. No problem, and sti... 
Thiel CS 2.2 Speakers... What you all think?
I am not surprised that all of the Thiel lovers are here, as the title of the thread does not mention Klipsch Heresy. As the largest Klipsch Heritage junkie ( there are another 1 or 2 here ), on the 'Gon, I will say this. A few simple mods to the ... 
Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range
bstat, anything to report ? or is it too soon ? 
Thiel CS 2.2 Speakers... What you all think?
Personally, I do not think so. What kind of upgrade ( s ) are you looking for ? What do you like, and dislike, about the Heresy 2s ? What are your room dimensions, and how do you have the speakers set up relative to your listening seat ? What musi... 
Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range
You would need signal into the amp for everything to cook properly. I would recommend some audible output on the amp. You can take a source directly into your amplifier and use the input level controls on the amp ( you have a tube pre, right ? ). ...

tomic, I like the way you think !  
Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range
If it were sunny outside, I would be at the pool. Give this cord at least a week, to break in, running your power amp continuously 24 / 7, with a signal ( it can be at low volume ), if you can. After a week, we can talk about another move to make....
