| So how many people are using subwoofers I have been running different bookshelf size mains with a sub for many years. My room has a nasty peak at 40 Hz so it was always tough to get good sound with floorstanding speakers. My current system is a pair of Revel M106 speakers paired with... | |
| Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced I second Quicksilver Audio I have a pair of Mid Monos and I love them. One of the true values in audio. | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? You'll regret selling that Bryston in favor of an integrated.... I have a DAC that can drive an amp and although it still sounds good, it can't drive my amp like my preamp can. Be patient, maybe listen to a table radio a little longer and save a... | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? Personally I have never liked passive line stages, so with that said I would recommend an active preamp......especially if you want to set up a home theater....for just a little more than your budget you can pick up a McCormack RLD1 which has a H... | |
| Golden Ear Triton One Speakers $$$ I have heard them and they sound really good for the money. If you are in Massachusetts, Audio Concepts in North Attleboro has them on display.....Good guys and great product lines, personal service too..... | |
| Best buys you've ever acquired on AG Quicksilver Mid Monos......from a guy about 5 miles away.....only a little over a year old, mint and half the cost of new.....he was right, I would love them | |
| Your three favorite audio dealerships? I replied to this thread a while back......before I found AV Therapy in Nashua NH. Great guys to deal with, awesome store. | |
| Outrageous used pricing on older McIntosh I have owned Mc gear and I don't understand why people pay ridiculous money for them. Nostalgia I guess, my last piece of Mc gear was a C15 that I paid $700 for....It was OK but no comparison to the McCormack pre that replaced it....I did apprec... | |
| Do all tubes glow Most do, Sovtek 12ax7LPS barely do though, it's hard to see but they do. | |
| Oppo 105D as media center I bought a 103D to use as a universal transport, plus for Netflix, Pandora, and my .wav and FLAC files.....it's a great machine.....I have a NAD M51 DAC and with a daughter in college the 103 was a better fit. The 105D is a great machine and I c... | |
| Tube preamp reliability vs SS? I have had a cj Classic 2SE for a little over two years and it's a great preamp....I love the sound it produces....It replaced a McCormack RLD-1 which was nice, don't get me wrong... The Classic blows it away so it was easy to give up remote volu... | |
| Suggestion used tube amp between $1,500-2,000 I have a pair of Quicksilver Mid Monos I bought used for $1000 and they are great amps. They are good stock with EL34s but sound even better with KT66. The best thing about them is you can use many different output tubes, you just have to bia... | |
| Most underrated Audio Manufacturers Quicksilver is great gear for the money....no frills, solid build quality, rock solid reliable, AND they sound great.I have a pair of Mid Mono amps and they are the best value for the money of any of my components. They are built like a tank and s... | |
| Tube Watts vs. Solid State Watts - Any credence? I am using a pair of 40w EL34 monos driving a pair of 87dB efficient bookshelves full range with a sub crossed over low just to augment what my speakers can't reproduce and it rocks....plenty of power in my 15 x 17 x 9 roomI had previously used a ... | |
| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? They aren't the same at all but each are good in their own right. Solid state is much more reliable and needs virtually zero maintenance. Tubes can be a pain but at the volume I listen to in my medium size room 40 watts is plenty. I like how my am... |
