| Who makes a GM-70 based SET? Shindo | |
| Devore and Shindo match As you can imagine you've got a lot of variables to fill in. I've owned a montille for almost 5yrs. Wonderful amp within it's limitations which are it's 13watts of power. I used it for almost 4 yrs with the devore gibbon 8's in a 12x20 room and I ... | |
| Paradisea owners You may want to Check out the monarchy NM-24. Both tube dac and ss dac plus linetstage at that price point. Very impressed with this piece, with my only minor gripe cosmetics and the good, but not great linestage. Disclaimer: I'm probably putting ... | |
| Good budget alternative IC's with Shindo preamp Maybe not the direct user experience you are looking for, but I liked my Vh Audio pulsars with eichmans quite a bit between my monarchy nm24 and shindo montille. (Modded squeezebox>monarchy nm24> shindo montille>devore gibbon 8's) | |
| Low Height Speaker with no rear port....help? Devore Gibbon 8. Will perform well close to front wall, but are better in smaller rooms. I used them in a 13 x 20 room with good results. Larger rooms and you may need to supplement with a sub. | |
| Best and Worst Rock Concert Moments The Clash, New York City, Pier 54 - 1980? My roommate and I with 2 girls we had met that day, one gallon Gallo hearty Chablis that was consumed on the drive in. We get to the show, push our way to the front and as I recall the band opens with "Roc... | |
| Speakers for a smaller room/moving issues... Kbuzz,Power may be the key then, as I was using a lower powered tube amp to drive them(15watt shindo montille). Also, I have to admit that it's not my preference, but some of the only listening I can do are at late nite, ultra low volumes which is... | |
| Speakers for a smaller room/moving issues... Contrary to the above I wouldn't recommend Ls3/5a's or equivilant for small room low volume listening. They are a great speaker when played at a given volume, but they are not low volume champs. I've had the original's, stirling's and the spendor ... | |
| newbie, disappointed, curious.. Zen,People change their minds, a bus pulls out into traffic, changes lanes and moves on....so should you. | |
| 'they blew'em off the stage' The Replacements opening for Elvis Costello at MSG. I was, and still am a Costello fan but the Replacements totally kicked ass ending the show with each band member swapping instruments and bringing the house down. Early 80's? | |
| Your First Concert was..... Electric Light Orchestra at Madison Square Garden, in '73? 74? My big brother took me. They were at their peak and the light show was pretty amazing as I recall.What was that smell in the air? I would soon find out.... | |
| High efficiency speakers for Shindo Mike,It's too bad that the montille isn't a "real" shindo, guess i"ll have to suffer another few years with it until I can move up!:)Unfortunately, the one I love is the cortese at a mere 10K!!Ouch! | |
| High efficiency speakers for Shindo I own the montille in a room very similiar in size to yours. Depending on the volumes you listen at, you may want to look into the devore line, either the super 8's or nines are in that price range. While not that effecient, they are an easy load ... | |
| What does more power do for Magnepans? I think it's more about control of those panels than power. I had a friend drop off his hovland sapphire for use on my maggies and it just fell flat - and that was at low moderate volumes. It wasn't a question of enough watts. My ps audio hca-2 so... | |
| A 9 watts SET for the Maggies, Heavenly marriage When I was selling my 2a3 I auditioned it for a prospective buyer on my MG 12's. It worked, but just barely - even at low volumes it just wasn't the amp for those speakers in a smallish room.Subseqently, I heard a guy's maggies with 300b's in a , ... |
