| Mapletree Audio versus Decware preamps Have you tried a passive with your SET? I am very impressed with the Lightspeed Attenuator (also have tried various TVC, AVC, and Placette)- after a few months of A/B with my Joule Signature Edition, I sold the Joule, which had been my favourite a... | |
| Speakers for 55 watts of EL-34 tube power ? Are you against the idea of moving up the Vandersteen line? But if you do, you will need VS subwoofers, at least with the 3As, as without them 55 watts will be a bit underpowered - assuming you love the VS sound - obviously many do. I thought my 3... | |
| My Venture into Hifi with Vandersteen Model 1 I've only heard the 1Cs, but (and I'm sure Audioconnection, John Rutan can answer this) although the Vandersteens have improved over time, making them such "well sorted" speakers with years of evolutionary development, I think your 1s still carry ... | |
| Some of the best pre amps used for $600 or less You might want to look into the Mapletree Audio linestage, two box, tube regulation, variable gain, and $760 new! Made by hand, point-to-point by a retired Canadian electrical engineering professor and audiophile. | |
| My Venture into Hifi with Vandersteen Model 1 Agree, if he stays with the MC30s in the future (and why not), the 3A Sigs would not be an ideal match. | |
| Proac D25 I agree that the D28 would be the better choice if available at the right price. The D25 is a good speaker, but the D28 was an improvement IMHO. | |
| My Venture into Hifi with Vandersteen Model 1 Rrog, staying on OPs topic is as simple as saying yes to both questions asked, they are good and they are worth giving a go with the MC30s - that is the answer and the end of the topic. But it would be boring to stop there, and we needn't and you ... | |
| My Venture into Hifi with Vandersteen Model 1 Rrog, you would take a VS1 with 2Wq sub over a 3A Signature? John R? | |
| My Venture into Hifi with Vandersteen Model 1 What naysayers? Everyone agrees the Vandersteens 1s are very good for the money - I did make a mistake regarding its impedance making me think a 30 watt tube amp would not work, but I acknowledge that mistake, so I have no doubt it will work with ... | |
| My Venture into Hifi with Vandersteen Model 1 Yeah, an audiophile "friend" said....and, before you know it I opened up my wallet...:) One thing I noticed about Vandersteen owners, is that they do seem to move up the line as their finances permit, that speaks well for the brand. I would not be... | |
| My Venture into Hifi with Vandersteen Model 1 Then I think OP is in for a real treat, if you can't tell, I really love the idea of those amps! and it sounds like the price was right for the combo!! | |
| My Venture into Hifi with Vandersteen Model 1 But your not selling the Alexandrias, right? Actually, I did get my brother into a pair of 1Cs with Rotel integrated and CD and he is perfectly happy with no intentions of becoming an audiophile or opening his wallet anymore, he already feels that... | |
| Pass Labs:What to expect fm XA60.5 to XA100.5 Congratulations!! Great amps with almost any speaker. | |
| My Venture into Hifi with Vandersteen Model 1 My Bad, I misread the VS1 impedance data, it does seem it would be easy to drive and should do fine with the MC30; I owned the 3A Sig which I would certainly not drive with the MC30 - so yes, it should work fine in terms of power and especially of... | |
| My Venture into Hifi with Vandersteen Model 1 Adam18, OP may very well love the Vandersteen/MAC combo, they are certainly great amps and hard not to have a ball with those beautiful monoblocks, but the Vandersteen 1 is not an ideal speaker for a low wattage tube amp, that isn't simply a matte... |
