| Single driver speakers without the pitfalls? I am not rushing out to sell my De Capo's anytime soon. Of course, I want to hear what they sound like with my new amplifier. However, the Lore is a very interesting proposition. Looks like an almost unbelievable value and the reviews are universa... | |
| Single driver speakers without the pitfalls? Mikirob,Interesting! I hadn't heard of the 4.5's. Seems that they are working on a 4.5 v.2; no details on the Tekton site, though.Just for the fun of it, I called Tekton yesterday and spoke to Eric Alexander. Very nice guy. I gave him my system an... | |
| Single driver speakers without the pitfalls? I'm not really thinking of building my own speakers at this point, but I'm trying to learn more about the "full range" drivers that so many people seem to like to pair with SET amps. I'm also curious about Tekton, since their models are very compe... | |
| Single driver speakers without the pitfalls? Elevick,Is that Merrill DCA 4 driver even made anymore? | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Isochronism,Thanks. "Lessons from the Baby Elephants" is probably, unfortunately, an ad that Wordpress slaps on the sites of people who don't upgrade to the premium membership. Oh, well... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Okay:My Audio Note Kit 1 build blog is live; not much content, yet, obviously, but it's right here. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Brownsfan,Thanks for the kind words. I totally agree that the proof is in the listening And yes, you are correct: after all this investigation as well as the effort to build this amp, I may find that the Audio Note Kit 1 sounds like a total pile o... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Charles1dad,Yes, I'd love to see a head to head comparison of the Dynamo and either the Decware Zen Torii (25 watt PP) or the "Rachael" (6 watt SE). I considered both of those amps until I decided to shoot for 300b and went for the Audio Note Kit ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Smctigue1,Well, with the Torii's putting out substantially more juice than the Rachael's 6 watts, it sounds like I avoided some disappointment with my De Capo's, although my room's only 11 x 16 x 8, so it's smaller than yours. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? By the way as noted much earlier in this thread, Steve Deckert said that the " "Rachael" would drive the De Capo's well with some limitations on the ability to "crank it," but it would sound so great that I wouldn't care. ;-) | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? smctigue1,Thanks for the post.I'm really surprised that your experiment with the Decware Torii was unsuccessful. How so? I actually looked hard and long at Decware and nearly bought the SE34I.4 or "Rachael," but thought that with those small trans... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mikirob,I see lots of Shuguang Black Treasure tubes there but no 300b's. The whole tube rolling thing still confuses me. How do you know what will sound best without trial and error? | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mapman,"Guru?" Not so sure!But I'll know more than when I started! | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Brownsfan,I think I'm going to do it. Blogging the build would add an extra dimension to the experience. Stay tuned... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Roxy54,Thanks for the kind good wishes. The kit should be delivered in a week or so. Timing should be good because I anticipate having a lighter work schedule in December/January.My plan is to work on this project VERY SLOWLY and carefully. I'm co... |
