| Lost - Your combined experience required I just think the wire needs to be decent to begin with, I dunno, maybe the Monster cable is good and I do not know the amp or speakers I just know that matching the two is one of the most important things in a stereo that has to be done right.good... | |
| Lost - Your combined experience required My first thought is to buy some quality speaker wire (and interconnects), get that part of it right first, see how it sounds, if it does not float your boat find out what speakers would work with the amp, or if you like the speakers find the amp t... | |
| SET the best? fwiw I push my 8 wpc Meishu (into 97 db AN speakers) pretty hard and always enjoy it, but I would not want less power... | |
| difficulty finding CD player match for Magneplanar Timoteo,I have owned Plinius SA100 MKIII (100 wpc), Rogue 120M (120 wpc) and borrowed ML 383 (100 wpc) and they all got appreciably loud but sounded a bit sluggish. It was only when I got an Innersound ESL amp (400 wpc this special amp with a bigg... | |
| Speakers for Rock Music I always thought Vandersteens were good for rock with a big bass and warm mids complimented by smooth highs. They can rock plenty loud too. | |
| Wire the House A/C or get Power Conditioner? I think getting a dedicated circuit is undisputed, everyone agrees it is a good thing. Power conditioners are not liked by everyone and more of a matter of personal taste so I think you should wire your house first, and IMO getting the basics righ... | |
| SET the best? I like SET but you will never resolve this with a post here on Agon because too many disagree. You can not get people to agree on SS or tube as the best let alone SET tubes which can have limited bass control (compared to SS especially) and only d... | |
| Tube Amp for GR Research LS-6 Kingdeezie,I am sorry I did not read the title to your post.The reason I mention specs is that when I owned Reynaud Trente speakers I was able to drive them with 18 wpc easily to loud levels, they were easy to drive despite an average rating.good ... | |
| Tube Amp for GR Research LS-6 What speakers are you using? Specs can be very misleading so it is better to know firsthand what we are dealing with.Something from VTL or Audio Research or even Rogue should fit your needsfwiw the last few hi fi shows I went to I never really enj... | |
| Avalon Eidolen VS Porac D80 or B&W 802D In the one system I heard them in the 802D was a bit thick in the midrange - colored IMO, though clear and uncolored on topYMMV | |
| Best speaker value between $1800-$2100 Are the Silverlines not good speakers? Maybe the Creek should be replaced instead?I do not know but it seems the Creek is a bit old and I have always read good things about Silverlines.fwiw | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Rja I got an email from Steve and GG will be back with new offerings soonI made the same observation recently hence the reply from Steve | |
| This is a silly hobby. "Just in terms of relative usefulness this seems absurd."ya think?:^Dyou are very polite in your observations...I am a bit OCD myself and have fallen to the guise... | |
| Tone controls? Sorry about the heresy. the Quad 99 pre amp is in the same price range as the items you list. You could also pick up a Quad 909 power amp and have a matched set that would be a big step up from the Adcom... | |
| Newbie - Which USED Amp & Preamp for under $2500 I agree you should get an integrated amp instead of separetes, ICs get too costly...however, if you do buy a power amp do not buy the Quad 99 but the 909 instead, it is supposed to be the better of the two... |
