| Tube integrated amps This is not just a question of loudness and an amp may sound fine to you with a particular speaker till you hear the same speaker with an amp that is better matched and you suddenly realize what was missing - usually in termso f top to bottom bala... | |
| Tube integrated amps I think the hybrid approach Pauly recommends makes sense given your desire for some tube presence. The Unico and Pathos hybrids would probably be worth your while to investigate and well within your price range. | |
| Tube integrated amps The tube issue I was concerned with was not primarily loudness, but spectral balance. If Dynaudio is right, and they should know, that the impedance curves are benign and linear, than it should be much less of a "problem". | |
| Tube integrated amps Three excellent choices, good luck. | |
| Tube integrated amps Hi Chazz, your EARs are great, let me know when you want to sell them, but I don't think it will drive his speakers optimally. | |
| ARS SONUM FILARMONIA - QUESTION Is the Ars technically and autobiasing amp? That is not clear to me. | |
| Tube integrated amps That is what I think; tubes can work but it is not so straightforward with these speakers, and the specs really suggests an SS approach. My 2cents. | |
| Tube integrated amps Jihley, you have Dynaudio 1.3SE speakers? | |
| Tube integrated amps Two tube integrateds that should (theory and practice don't always align) work would be an used VAC Avatar and the McIntosh 2275. Even better would be some more powerful tube separates that drive 4 ohms well (larger Manleys, VTLs, etc). While much... | |
| CAT JL-2 vs Tenor 75Wi Wp They are, but the price difference between the JL2 Sig and the new Tenor is quite big. Hard to imagine anything much better than the CAT, but I suspect the new Tenor will be superb, but at the price difference you would need to have money to burn ... | |
| Tube integrated amps I'm leaning to thinking that you would need a pretty powerful tube amp with current for that load, but I'm not 100% sure on that, you should ask Dynaudio via e-mail to be sure, but it seems better suited to a 100watt SS amp. I think a 30-40 watt t... | |
| Whose sorry now? Sellers remorse from selling amp. But is the Nobis still a good amp? seemed interesting. | |
| Very inexpensive speakers for a 2nd system You have a very good list there, you should be happy with any of them -- I think preference here is personal, or even based on looks, they are all competitive with each other at the price range. You should also consider the bookshelf Nola (formely... | |
| Tube integrated amps I would ask Dynaudio how they feel about tube amps for their speakers, they tend to be 4 ohm speakers which is not necessarily a deal breaker but is less than ideal for a tube amp, unless it is a very smooth impedance across the bandwidth - I don'... | |
| ARS SONUM FILARMONIA - QUESTION I think one of the reasons there are so many happy Merlin customers is that not only is the speaker a highly refined design improved and perfected over time, but as a Merlin owner, you know there is nobody in the busines more willing to discuss hi... |
