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, ...

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 ...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...
