| What amp to tame Eggleston Works Esotar Tweeters? I have Esotar tweeters in my speakers and agree with the other posters, they are not edgy. If you can find the right amplification I believe you will come to enjoy them a lot. | |
| Jolida jd-502p I used 5751s in my system to great satisfaction when I was using monitor speakers. I later moved to full size speakers and the system sounded flat. For the larger speakers I went back to the 12AX7 tube and it provided significantly more dynamic pe... | |
| Speaker for Rogue Cronus Magnum with high WAF A pair of Canton Canton Chrono 509.2 speakers would be about $2600 and would be a good match. | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 Grayf,As you can obviously tell from all of my posts, I have found it very difficult to get past the Telefunkens too.JBS | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 Grayf,Are your 12AX7 Telefunkens ribbed or smooth plates? Also, if they are new old stock, I found that after around 30 hours or so my Telefunkens started to break in and added a nice sweetness to the sound.I made the switch to tubes about three y... | |
| Rogue Tempest II magnum or Cronus Magnum for VR-33 Gopher,The Tempest-III is switchable between passive and active preamplification. It therefore works with a wider range of speakers than the first two Tempest generations. I believe it comes in a magnum version, maybe even a super magnum. I believ... | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 McPherson,It looks like you have a nice system, but unfortunately components with which I have no experience. My best suggestion, I think, is to find a dealer that will let you take some cables home with you to audition in your system. That's how ... | |
| Ayon Spirit 3 what speaker combo will u recommend? Theseventh1,You make a good point. Good catch! I had originally been thinking that it would be nice to have everything Ayon in one place, but we are in the Amps/Preamps forum section. Their digital components and speakers should go into the other ... | |
| Ayon Spirit 3 what speaker combo will u recommend? Sionlim,Looks like we have two votes for "Ayon Audio Forum"! Seems like that should be enough :-)I'd say let's go ahead and launch a thread with that title.JBS | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 Mcpherson,No worries, it's certainly not a silly question. I'm not confident that I can answer your question about the brightness of your system to total certainty, but I can perhaps explain my earlier comments a little more clearly.I want to make... | |
| I've narrowed it down... I have never heard a tube fail catostrophically, but I have heard a tube that was starting to go out. In that case the music started to break up a bit when we started pushing the speakers. | |
| Ayon Spirit 3 what speaker combo will u recommend? Well, I'll throw a few suggestions up against the wall and we'll see what sticks:"Ayon Users Forum" - nah"Ayon Enthusiast's Forum" - I don't like that one either"Ayon Audio Forum" - I'll vote for this one"Ayon Audio Log"What does everyone else think? | |
| Avalon Speakers... To Spike or Not To Spike I use stainless steel Soler Points on my speakers. I know Ed Soler and he can make them custom for you. The ones he made for my speakers are 2" wide at the top and about 2.25" tall. I gave him one of the original speaker spikes and he made sure th... | |
| I've narrowed it down... Botit,Of the amps you have listed in your original post, I would go for the Rogue Tempest III. | |
| Ayon Spirit 3 what speaker combo will u recommend? What do you think about an Ayon thread, rather than one just for the Spirit? It might be interesting to read comments of folks who have other Ayon components. But either way, I too think it's a great idea. |
