| Questions for Vandersteen 5A owners... I went and listened to the 5A at my local dealer and I thought they sounded OK nothing special. The room looked fine and saw no reason whey they should have sounded just OK. I since moved on to Wilson Watt Puppy, Aerial 20T and Kharma speakers but... | |
| wilson Lamm M1.2 reference are the only way to go with the Watt Puppy 7. | |
| Krell Resolution 2 - suitable upgrade?? You should of had went to see Harry and listened to the Vandersteen 5A before you bought the WP7. I had the WP6 WP7 and WP8 and I can tell you that they can't do what the 5A's can.BTW Larry is a crook and you will figure that out one day. | |
| Ayre K-1xe vs Audio Research Ref 3 Kurt_tank,The REF 3 can output 30 volts on it's balanced output at 600 Ohms. The K1XE Outputs 10 Volts on it's balanced output at 600 ohms which 600 ohms on a solid state preamp is very high. Gain specs mean nothing look at output voltage. Gain is... | |
| Ayre K-1xe vs Audio Research Ref 3 The K1Xe doesn't have much gain so you need to make sure it can drive your amp. I've had both and think the Ref 3 is hard to beat. Works with any amp and gives you that tube magic. The K1Xe for the money is very good plus you never have to replace... | |
| Tubes for VTL 7.5 Thanks for all the help! I ended up with a matched pair of Telefunken ECC801S 12AT7 from Brent Jessee. WOW what a difference. I would of never thought that $400 could make this much difference. I have bought $5000 speaker cables that never made th... | |
| Audio Research REF-110 vs. HD-220 Yes you can put a cover over them when the front power switch id turned off. | |
| Wilson Sophia2s demand better than AYRE V5xe, so.. If you got lean bass with the speakers that close to the back wall just wait if the speakers get moved out from the wall. If the speakers are that close to the wall behind them you should have to much bass. A square room doesn't help so maybe that... | |
| McIntosh MC352 or MC402? Quick answer NO. | |
| Wilson Sophia2s demand better than AYRE V5xe, so.. The Lamm M1.1 came out in 1994 and being that it is full class A amp you would have to start to worry about maintenance on the amp. Now the M1.2 that came out in 2004 would be a very nice amp for the Sophia II but at that price range your getting ... | |
| Wilson Sophia2s demand better than AYRE V5xe, so.. I think the preamp had to be the 7.5 series I since the series II hadn't come out yet in 2006. | |
| McIntosh MC352 or MC402? The 402 is faster and more open sounding compared to the 352. I think the extra cost of the 402 is worth it plus is get a much better looking amp with the lights and 3d glass. To be honest I would choose the 252 over the 352 for the same reason's.... | |
| Wilson Sophia2s demand better than AYRE V5xe, so.. Johnnyb53,What preamp were they using with the Siegfrieds? | |
| Wilson Sophia2s demand better than AYRE V5xe, so.. Johnnyb53,I agree with you. Hearing Wilson on very good tube gear will leave a lasting impression. VTL has a lot of synergy with Wilson. I can tell you that Ayre is not the greatest match with any wilson speaker. I tried my MXR with wilson and it ... | |
| Audio Research REF-110 vs. HD-220 I can say with 100% certainty that the Ref 110 is a better sounding amp over the HD 220. Audio Research Ref products are much different then the none Ref products. It's not even close... |
