| Need help matching speakers with amplifer Yes, both amps will work well. All things being equal the 100 watt should provide slightly more dynamic headroom. Your loudspeakers are not hard to drive nor do they need high power amps. | |
| Does cover art of an album or recording influences your purchase? The album covers are not as important as the music, but they are critical to the overall vinyl experience. Imagine a world where they were all just plain white cardboard? | |
| Need help matching speakers with amplifer The 15-200 watts spec gives a range of RMS watts the loudspeaker will adequately perform. If the spec is accurate, for it might not be, you could use up to 200 watts of continuous power with this model loudspeaker. By reputation the Boston Acous... | |
| Electronic cross-over on pre-amp out, to split signal to subwoofer and bookshelf speakers While what you propose is technically possible, if I were you, I would not go forward. It will probably not sound as good as before. Using a 80Hz crossover point will still send a substantial bass signal an octave lower (40Hz) to the bookshelf l... | |
| Is quadamping possible? It should work, but there are potential issues. The Alephs were a great amp, but they are old. They may need refurbishment. The Aleph 5 is very inefficient and is effectively a room space heater. Your listening room will become hot and you wi... | |

Just as a point of reference -- there was a recent thread regarding ATC monitors where the ATC distributor stated that the active versions were superior to the passive versions. Yet several ATC owners stated that they strongly preferred the passi... | |
| transferring music to SSD Non-lawyer here, my question was prompted by me thinking it was similar to taping music from FM broadcasts. | |
| transferring music to SSD Is there any legal prohibition about recording as you stream? | |
| Flatscreen between speakers The further back the screen is from radiating surface of the loudspeakers the better. Using a rug or blankets is probably better than nothing, but if you are going to cover the screen you should use a real acoustic product that has uniform or smo... | |
| Claude #2 Before you go could you please explain the genesis or meaning of your screen name? | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Actually the Rolling Stones could be quite political with their social commentary. | |
| WTB Philips GA212 tonearm You might be better off getting a complete turntable. Check Craigslist. I live in SE Michigan and 212/312 show up regularly for under $200. | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? There was a recent thread where the owner of this Eggleston loudspeaker asked what he should do after viewing the Richie video. I asked him if he actually hears "the hole" and his answer was no, he's never heard it. The original Stereophile revi... |
