| Help Please With A Replacement For Old Aragon Amp. Have you checked the tubes in your preamp? After that, it may be time for the Aragon to be serviced. Your speakers are not so easy to drive and your Aragon doubles down on power into 4 Ohms, so a good match. Reviews of your speakers say they like ... | |
| Review on AricAudio Motherlode MKII preamplifier Nice writeup TJ. I will put Aric Audio on the short list when I am ready to look at new tube components. | |
| Speakers for Rogue Sphinx So the Lore's and Enzo's are great, I would go Enzo XL over Lore. And if you can up your budget a little, it might be a good idea to go with one of the models with the 7 tweeter array. They will give you a little more midrange magic. The Enzo 2.7 ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Steve, I have ordered Mil Spec from Skycraft. Good service, quick shipping. | |
| Anyone have a fully upgraded KAB 1200? One observation of the Fluid damper. I put one on a 1600 MK2. prior to the install, my neighbor had a Nirvana album that on one track in particular caused severe woofer pumping and the volume did not make it change much. I tried it on my 1600 MK2 ... | |
| bad to mix amps? IMHO, no it does not really matter for movies and TV. As long as the amps meets the power requirements of your speakers as well as their sensitivity and load, it should be fine. I have tried different amps for HT duty and the first thing you no... | |
| Schiit Freya+ or Saga+? Vidar or Aegir? With your 95db speakers, I would go Aegir. It is class A and should pair well. The Freya + is the better pre and I would want an active pre with the lower watts of the Aegir. | |
| preamp upgrade suggestion around $2000 zm, try the Shuguang Treasure WE6SN7. I had the BT's, sold them. You might be surprised. | |
| preamp upgrade suggestion around $2000 I have the Don Sachs 2. It responds well to tube rolling and with the tubes I use now, Shuguang Treasure WE6SN7, it is not noisy and not too soft like it sounds with some NOS tubes. Tight, balanced with enough tube magic. | |
| Enough power? No direct experience with your two components. But the Scott is rated at 120W into 8 Ohms and your speakers are rated at 90db 8 Ohms, so it should work assuming both are up to spec. | |
| impractical to spend $200 to terminate Mogami 3103 speaker cable?? I have had great results with KLE Classic Harmony Banana Plugs. Not locking type but good spring for a solid connection. | |
| Tekton First Time Buyer Prospect Seeking Advise from Tekton Owners I would give Eric a call and tell him about the speakers you have liked and don't like as well as your current plan. I am sure he will have some ideas of what should work for you. | |
| Tekton First Time Buyer Prospect Seeking Advise from Tekton Owners Like MC said, get the Largest Tekton your budget allows. Do you have room for a tower? These will give you more full range sound. I get it the mini monitors are not a big risk $ wise, but I would consider the standard Lore or the Enzo XL at least ... | |
| Difference between amps pdn, you mentioned listening to music in multi channel. I assume you are using an HT receiver or pre-pro as your preamp? If so, you may find that a dedicated music preamp, or integrated amp might make a larger difference in your music enjoyment (f... | |
| Speaker sensitivity vs SQ OP, you are correct, the John DeVore video does not answer your original question. And for me it is a useful tool to dig deeper into your question. So, why don't manufacturers make efficient speakers? You might want to next ask, how do we determin... |
