| 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... | |
| Musicians in your living room vs. you in the recording hall? Anyone who knows about music fundamentals, are aware of the 4 important characteristics necessary for the accurate reproduction of music reproduction, and it’s sounds. These 4 specific qualities are, in no particular order : ( 1 ) Dynamics; ( 2 ) ... | |
| Are Martin Logan’s what they used to be? I need to agree with George, as I owned MLs, and set up many pair. And the problem becomes worse as you raise the spl. I am glad he spoke about " smearing of details ", as any loudspeaker that rocks back and forth will give up much of this. I foun... | |
| Any Audio Pro a4-14 owners in here? @urmarvin, george, I have a pair, and had a a pair of the B250s. I loved the A414s when I first got them. Over the years, I had to replace all of the woofers, as they disintegrated, and used Kef B110s in their place, and they worked out great, and... | |
| Just purchased a pair of Atma Sphere M-60 Mk 3's upgraded to 3.3's You might want to contact Ralph at Atma-Sphere ( Mr. Atma Sphere ), who happens to be a very large contributor here on the 'Gon. A brilliant guy, and as nice a person on any forum that I have visited. It is my belief from his writings, he prefers ... | |
| The Frankensteining of Amplifiers Although this thread is based on fairly new gear, lest not forget that the overhaul of a 30 - 40 year old piece can significantly upgrade the original, as parts are superior today, and older parts are, well, old... | |
| Klipsch Chorus II for $600, yes or no? I am not questioning you smartness, believe me. Just enjoy them ! I always liked the old Marantz receivers, as I thought they sounded good with Klipsch, Altecs, and JBL horns I paired them with. If yours is in great shape, using it is stereo mode,... | |
| Klipsch Chorus II for $600, yes or no? I am happy for you, as I know you will enjoy them. But I was surprised you went for another large speaker after not keeping the DBX you let go because of their size. As far as which amp will work best, use your own ears, as everyone will have a di... | |
| Is a preamp needed ??? It depends. I would encourage you to scan these pages, as there are many threads about this subject already...... | |
| Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp FYI, the Nuforce STA 200 is not a class D amp ( it is A/B, using a Goldmund circuit design ), as I believe it to be the only non class D amp they make. George, I do not think that was me, as I spoke about passive, vertical biamping with a pair of ... |
