| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps And what about the Heresy, paired with a sub, maybe? What do your Klipsch-o-philes think of the Heresy? | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Roxy,Great to hear from you.I did pick up a Magic Power Cord by Signal Cable (Almarg had recommended these) for my Kit 1, used, from a local audiophile. I like it a lot, but I'm intrigued by your impressions of the Nano Reference. I'll check it ou... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps You guys are making me want to check out Klipsch! :-)For what it's worth, Brian of ANK is a big fan of pairing the Kit 1 with vintage speakers from the '80's like Altec, etc. My only problem with going the vintage route is that a lot of the suitab... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Earlier on in the thread, someone had mentioned Spatial. If you don't know, Clayton Shaw founded Spatial to continue to develop open baffle, controlled directivity speakers after leaving Emerald Physics. His latest, which debuted at THE Show in Ne... | |
| Salk HT3, SF Cremona M, Magnepan 3.7 or ML Ethos? Zynec,I have owned two Ohm models in my time in this hobby, the Micro Walsh Tall and the old Ohm 100. They throw an enormous soundstage, but if pinpoint imaging is your thing, I don't know if they'd do that for you. As a pseudo-omni design, their ... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Grannyring:A speaker time share! Excellent!! :-D | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Grannyring,I'd looked at Sonist, but their prices have really shot up. Their smallest monitor is over $3000 at this point, IIRC. Seems they have beautiful workmanship, though. | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Rob,Yes, I think the summer time is slow. My De Capo's sat there for about 2 weeks before I really got any nibbles, and they were also listed on eBay, US Audiomart and Audio Circle! Sheesh!Are you familiar with hifishark.com? It's a web site that ... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Hey, Rob,Thanks for the post.I looked at those AN-E's and asked Brian at ANK about them. He confirmed that they are an old version of the "94 dB" model and he doesn't really recommend them with the Kit 1. The AN-E Kits he sells, by contrast, are a... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Saki70,Hi. Thanks for the tip about the AN-J. It would probably be perfect for my needs, but the AN stuff is still so gosh darn expensive, or at least out of my budget. But thanks for pointing them out to me. One more AN model to keep an eye out f... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Here's a question:Do any of you SET users think that running at SET with a subwoofer necessarily compromises the best SET qualities? | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Charles,Whatever I go with on this round, I think I will keep my eyes peeled for a used pair of AN E's. It's unfortunate that they are so pricey, but what can you do? | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Jet, Right now, there is actually a fellow here on audiogon who is selling a pair of Audio Note AN-E/SP's. They come with Audio Note stands and sell for $1500! I sent the link to Brian at Audio Note Kits. He confirmed that these are an older versi... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Map,Yeah, they were REALLY something. If I could get a huge price break from Brian of ANK, I'd jump at the opportunity to build one of the kits. But he buys those direct from AN UK, and by the time they are shipped and imported I don't think he ha... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Jet -Hey! :-) My soldering gun wielding DIY guru! :-DI have only heard AN speakers once, at the California Audio Show in the AN room a few years ago, and it was my favorite room! The only room, in fact, that I kept returning to. The dynamics and "... |
