| Horn Speaker Recommendations It is interesting that John Inlow appreciates 1 inch drivers as well as 2 inch drivers ( determining horn throat size, of course ), feeling both are superior for different kinds of music, and playback levels. | |
| Will Vincent Dynaco ST-70 with Zu Omens..good combination? Hello old friend. So, you want to change from the STA200 to a tube amp ? I understand, as I have been down the tube route. The only way to know, is for you to try it. I have my own opinions, but as always, these are opinions based on what " I want... | |
| H/k citation 16 A very well made preamp, with excellent specs. However, I do not feel it would be an upgrade in sq, but only you would know by trying it. If the price is right, why not. I am the original owner of a model 11 preamp, that is " not " good enough for... | |
| Job SYS closed business If it is any indication, I know of someone running an STA 200 with a pair of MMGs, and is quite pleased. He replaced an older Rotel RB 870bx amp with the STA, and found it to be a night and day improvement. He is out of state from me, and has foll... | |
| Recommended solid state amp for user with tinnitus Samster777, I am very sorry for what you, and others, are going through, with these issues. Unless I am missing something, you have not mentioned the amplifier you were using to drive the MLs. Have you substituted the Monitor Audios in place of th... | |
| 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... | |

| 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... | |

| 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 ... | |
