| Omnidirectional speakers for home theater? Hassel, do you have use omnis both front, center, and rear channels? | |
| best 5-20K speakers for high-end tube amp? I just found the speakers for my system- a pair of $500 ELOD floorstanders that I had retired for surround duty when I got my B&W804s.After upgrading most of my front-end (top-end tubes everywhere, good cabling, power conditioning, isolation),... | |
| Anyone Heard the DeVore Silverbacks? Has anyone compared them to the Coincident Total Victory IIs? Both are high-sensitivity floorstanders with side-firing woofers, in a similar budget range. | |
| best 5-20K speakers for high-end tube amp? I will try to locate the CAR speakers. How might they compare to Tannoy Churchills, TAD TSM-300, Pioneer 2251, and Tannoy Exclusive (??..can't remember exact name, they were 2 huge corner speakers with massive woofers).In a system with expensive C... | |
| best 5-20K speakers for high-end tube amp? Is the converse true? I don't find the Wilson WP sound is giving me the lens into music that I'm looking for - too hifi sounding. | |
| best 5-20K speakers for high-end tube amp? Thanks for the encouragement-- I stayed up the whole night doing my speaker research, armed with my auditioning experience of the last few weeks. I also think I can put together a great system well within that budget. I couldn't find "skuhino" usi... | |
| best 5-20K speakers for high-end tube amp? I finally heard the Avantgarde Unos yesterday (although I was only given a very rushed 15 minutes), since the dealer was accomodating enough to borrow a Jadis DA50 integrated tube amp from the store upstairs. Wow, what a difference! The first note... | |
| best 5-20K speakers for high-end tube amp? Boa2,I auditioned many of the speakers exclusively with a tube pre/pro combo (e.g. Thiel, TAD, Mosquito, custom-built Lowther, Marten design), and many with both tubes and SS (e.g. Odeon,Watt/Puppy,Kharma,Goldmund, JMLabs, Verity Audio, Sonus Fabe... | |
| best 5-20K speakers for high-end tube amp? Sorry about responding late to my own thread. I thought this thread had ended a while ago! And I still haven't found my speaker, despite tons of auditioning over the last number of weeks.I have heard the Avantgardes Unos several times now, but onl... | |
| best 5-20K speakers for high-end tube amp? I am considering used Acapellas or Kharmas, but have some concern about their power requirements. The Acapella website lists 25 watts as minimum recommended power for the Violon, while my amps put out only 20 watts.From the low sensitivity (89db) ... | |
| best 5-20K speakers for high-end tube amp? Audiokinesis, I'm not sure I can describe what I'm looking for exactly, but my reasons for going for a tube amp over SS is that I prefer sweet, warm vocals and midrange over the ultimate in clarity/transparency. Having said that, I wish my current... | |
| best 5-20K speakers for high-end tube amp? Thanks for the responses so far. My amps are 20 watts per monoblock. My living room is actually about 17 x 35 feet, but through sofa placements I only use about half the room, or 17 x 20 feet or so. Teajay, my preamp/amp combination retails for ab... | |
| Rowlands vs. Levinson Amps. That's a good question, Flg2001. I can't remember, since I tested so many systems last week. I believe there was quite an expensive solid state preamp, a midrange standalone CD player, and Wilson Watt Puppy 5.1 speakers. | |
| why does preamp improve sound quality? Bufus, I Mark Levinson/Quad experience took place in a store demo. I have a similar Mark Levinson (no.39)/Jadis (SE845) setup, and am considering a Jadis preamp (JPL2), so wanted to know if the Jadis preamp would make my system sound better. I won... |
