| 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... | |
| Speaker sensitivity vs SQ b_limo1, great video, have seen it once before. Interesting perspective.tomic601, When you say "don't confuse low sensitivity with poorly engineered load". I feel they are closely related. And I believe this is John DeVore's point in the video. I ... | |
| Lansche plasma tweeter replacement every 5000 hours. I have not heard them, but with how 2020 went down, I put a lot more hours on my speakers than the year before. I might be needing a second set of new tweeters very soon. So for the maintenance alone I would steer clear. | |
| Speaker sensitivity vs SQ I agree with Oz, Elliot and MC, I will always opt for higher efficiency speakers. |
