| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Tubegroover,Thanks a lot for the nice comments. I appreciate it.SMcTigue,I suspect that a great deal of this is, in fact, about the synergy between a particular amplifier and a particular speaker. There are so many variables here, including one's ... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Hi, Guys,People seem interested in my impressions of the Lore Reference, so I'm happy to oblige. I wasn't super impressed with them when I first connected them. The sound seemed stuck to the speakers and I kind of got this "home theater" vibe. Of ... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps I'm loving learning from you folks. :-)And remember Rebbi's Rule (TM): "A thread ain't a thread until it's hit 500 posts." :-D | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Mapman,You've always said you wanted to see how De Capo's stack up against your Triangle's. I know where you can get a nice pair. ;-)Oh, and by the way I think you and Charles might want to settle this whole "SET limitations" thing via a gentleman... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Hey, Folks,I find this conversation fascinating and appreciate all of your input.Tubegroover, I love my Kit 1 and am sold on the SET "thing." It sounds more like music and gives me more pleasure than any other amp I've owned, including a Unison Un... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Hi, Lak,I'd never heard of the Von Schweikert db 99, which isn't surprising because according to some research I did, they may not have made more than 200 pairs of them before dropping them from the line-up.Wow, they are gorgeous - you are lucky t... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... New blog post up, including a shout out to Almarg for his power cord advice. | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps No, the Omen Mk. II, not the Omen Def!!! The Omen Mk. II retails for $1800 but they've extended the Newport show price of $1500 for a bit. Sorry I confused you with the Omen Def reference. | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Rob,I promise I'm not dithering on all these speaker possibilities just to aggravate you. ;-)Yes, absolutely, I have read the Zu vs. Tekton thread. Thing is, the Omen Mk. II is just out, and that's two iterations removed from the version being dis... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Zu Omen Mk II? | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Rob,My budget is whatever I can get for the De Capo's! (Seriously.) I've got nothing else to throw at this other than what they sell for. Now if someone wants the stands, too, that may help. They're the Osiris stands by the long defunct Audionics.... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Jet,Thank you very much for the tip. Those Audio Note speakers look like a great deal. But I have to wait until my De Capo's sell to purchase anything else, and I would guess that those Audio Notes will be gone by then. :-(But I will definitely ke... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Charles,Well, after three years of ownership, my De Capo's are now up for sale on Audiogon (and elsewhere)!The Lore Reference is a VERY different speaker than the De Capo. It's not that the De Capo doesn't sound fabulous with the Kit 1 - it does, ... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... I want to thank Almarg for the Signal Cable tip! A local fellow is selling me a used Signal Cable magic power cord for my Kit 1. It really does make a difference. Music sounds more relaxed and open and the low end feels more extended and authorita... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Can any of you folks attest to the sonic differences between the various Tekton Lore flavors: Lore ReferenceLore 2.0LoreM-LoreS-LoreI had the opportunity to borrow a pair of the Lore Reference for about a week and run it in my own system, so now I... |
