| Speakers The single most critical component ZSeems the SET amplification has been officially coveted as the only amplification for the task.But there are draw backs with the SETs. They do not produce music likea PP can in certain complex, hard driven signals.They can get overwhelmed witha s... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component You could rename this thread ‘One Giant Advertisement for Voxativ Horns‘ | |
| Cat Scratch Fever? Sorry MC but I think you‘ve OD’d on Alan Watts. Try some Donald Hoffman and get a bit if rigour in your thinking | |
| Cat Scratch Fever? In Australia and New Zealand people actually take this issue very seriously. You can see the outcomes. | |
| Cat Scratch Fever? A John Hopkins University researcher posted those statistics on Twitter.Which are? | |
| Speakers The single most critical component Richard mentioned for a really good SET, amp should weigh over 100 lbs. Richard is a BS artist. Elegance in design always beats brute force. Please read my posts. | |
| Speakers The single most critical component Just read the review ‘there are are other loudspeakers that can do the the same thing - the Naim IBL‘ I think i‘ll stick to mine and save the $29k. | |
| Speakers The single most critical component @mozartfan you state:. Maybe Richard can loan one of his SET amps, and compare to Defy7, If SET wins out I’ll buy Ricahrd’s SET, and dump the glorious Defy7 with all new Mundorf SESGO + F&T caps. New navships internal silver wiring. New copper... | |

| Speakers The single most critical component I’ve just been re-reading some of this stuff, and the Dynaco St70‘s (I’ve built four of them) and Shanlings don‘t exactly do it for me. I would be looking at some serious upgrades before changing speakers. Get serious folks........ | |
| Speakers The single most critical component @mozartfan I have been building tube amps for 40+ years, and tubes are by far my preferred mode of amplification. However I can not agree with a blanket statement such asI might even go so far as to say a well designed ss amplification may be acc... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component Alas, marketing, consumerist folly, and sheer corporate might will all conspire against your noble ideals. In five years Seas and Scanspeak will be doing fine MARK MY WORDS. And so might Voxativ...... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component I share your love of high efficiency minimalist speaker systems, rotating a pair of lowly Hammer Dynamics for “Roll yer Own SET’ thrills and spills. Love to get my hands on a pair of 100db+ hornsVoxativ = Vitavox??? | |
| Speakers The single most critical component @mozartfan there are a couple of assumptions you make I must cordially disagree with. You dismiss SS out of hand. I argue it’s all in the implementation rather than the devices used or the topology adopted. There‘s good and bad in both camps.All w... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component @herman, I would have thought it obvious that"the single most critical component." would be the one that was the weakest in the chain, and that the OP was arguing that speakers had greatest potential to fulfil that criterion.Agreed, cheap digital ... |
