| Does two center channels = one stereo system Not quite. If you look at the frequency ranges for center channel speakers, they tend to bottom out in the 70-80hz range. So, unless you plan to use a sub-woofer, you will be missing out on the bottom end.Rich | |
| Single Driver Recommendations + amp Qs, Omega? Giving a phone call to Louis Chochos at Omega Loudspeakers may be the place to start. For the last few months, he has been developing a new line of speakers (Hoyt Bedford). The Type 1 would make for a bigger bookshelf speaker, but it looks very ... | |
| Please help newb put a system together A shot in the dark ... take a look at the Outlaw RR2150 receiver . It should do most or all of what you are looking to do. I have used one for 4 or 5 years now with Totem Mite monitor type speakers. Nice unit for the cash. Well reviewed in Stereo... | |
| Seeking comments from ProLogue 3-5-6-7 owners... I have owned the PL5 for 5 years. It is paired with a Musical Fidelity CD PRE 24 (preamp & cd player) and Opera Platea floorstanders. There is a SONY SCD 555 ES for SACD duty. My room size is similar (23 X 18). I do live in an apartment, so I ... | |

| Bookshelf speaker for Stingray II? Hi Bill:I ran the Spendors for a little over a year before selling them. I am not sure whether it was because I had them on their sides or they were inside a bookcase with a rear wall, but the speakers just lacked oomph. The Rega Ara and Energy RC... | |
| Bookshelf speaker for Stingray II? The midrange can sound a bit sweeter and with a little more control with ALNICO magnet speakers. With the Omega Super 3s vocals were very lifelike, but could sound a little ragged or hooty at the edges.Rich | |
| Bookshelf speaker for Stingray II? I think you are going to be OK with your Omegas. For a number of years, I drove the Omega Super 3s with a Prima Luna PL2 tube amp (and a Rega Apollo CD player). The Omegas were placed on their sides on a shelf inside a bookcase with rear walls. To... | |
| portable ipod speakers? No. Cambridge Soundworks was founded by Henry Kloss about 15 years ago. It's the same Henry of Acoustic Research, KLH, and Advent fame ... before the companies and names were sold a half dozen or so times. They make very good radio products. Cambr... | |
| Beresford Dac Hdphone amp? Same experience as Sfar. I purchased it to give me headphone capability for my Prima Luna PL2/ Rega Apollo set-up. Excellent unit and build quality for the cash.Best regards,Rich | |
| PrimaLuna ProLogue Two - mixing tubes? So, thinking aloud ...the two 6550's in use will have more wear on them. I had absolutely no luck with SED Winged Cs when it came to tube life and my PL2 (a few hundred hours), so wear & tear may enter this.if you use the 6550s in an amp which... | |

| 12ax7 12AU7 EL34 / KT 88/ 6550 upgrades for PL2 I have owned the PL2 & PL5 for 5 years. After experimenting with SED Winged C KT 88s & 6550s for the power tubes and NOS Mullard & Sylvania 12AX7 & 12AU7 for preamp tubes, I settled on Electro Harmonix EL34s & 6CA7s for the pow... | |
| B&W 603s gone; I'm lost down the rabbit hole These would work out very nicely for you Opera Platea . They are on the smallish side for floorstanders and would work well with close to back wall placement. The sound would be somewhat fuller and warmer than your B&Ws. These work well with ... | |
