| Speakers that copied the Wilson Watt Puppy look Salectric, you're right about the "H" using two 8" drivers. As I was typing, I was still thinking about another friend's Super Monitors which did use 12" drivers. Regards | |
| Speakers that copied the Wilson Watt Puppy look Salectric: I have a good friend who still uses the "H" sub in one of his systems. It looks like a large coffee table and houses two separate transmission lines, each with it's own 12" driver. Serious bass indeed! Now picture this, it's used in a s... | |
| x-over resistor replacement query I've used both Mills and Caddocks and agree, either would be a good alternative to the more expensive Dueland. | |
| Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95 Hey Jeff(JWM), you too Charles, let's be clear on this, you both kinda like the new MW/Oppo 105? Your comments were sorta vague. | |
| x-over resistor replacement query I hate resistors in a crossover but if you must use them, the fewer the better. Bite the bullet and go with the more expensive Duelands. The last thing I'd do is run more of them in series just to achieve a desired value. They may protect tweeters... | |
| Speakers that copied the Wilson Watt Puppy look Csmgolf, Yep, Bud did call it the "Valhalla System" and by then the sats were C/5's. I owned the C/3L's(still do) and borrowed a pair of D2's from a dealer friend for an audition. No big surprise, the D2's really added a lot of power and weight to... | |
| Speakers that copied the Wilson Watt Puppy look For the record, Bud Fried was offering his "C" satellite, same shape as David Wilson's "Wilson Audio Tiny Tot", back in 1979. Wilson Audio didn't come out with their "WATT" til 1985. Who copied who? Fried's "C" satellite used a first order series ... | |
| Siltech 330L or 770L? Rsf507, Atma-Sphere/Ralph's only claim is, because their preamps & amps are a true "balanced differential design", the interconnect between amp and preamp will have minimal effects on the sound. He readily admits that speaker cables can make a... | |
| Siltech 330L or 770L? Acalex, I'm not up on all the "flavor of the month" cables these days, neither have I heard of the ones you're asking about. My only caution would be, if you decide to sell them down the road, will they be worth anything? Siltech's been around a l... | |
| Cardas: Clear vs. Golden Reference Clear "Light" has fewer calories. Nyuk, nyuk! | |
| Siltech 330L or 770L? Acalex, yes I'm still using the Siltech and am done looking at cables.Bvdiman, I agree that there are across the board improvements as you move up in the Siltech line. I didn't want to blather on too much about their merits but I love the improvem... | |
| Siltech 330L or 770L? If you can spring for the extra $$, I'd definitely go with the 770L. The 330L and 770L are essentially the same design but the 770L has many more conductors and will add a lot more power and weight to the music. It will also flesh out images far b... | |
| Cardas: Clear vs. Golden Reference I've heard all three Cardas cables you're asking about in my own system and in a couple friend's systems. I also owned the Golden Ref. interconnects and speaker cables.To my ears, the Golden Cross is veiled, rolled off at the extremes and rather t... | |
| Sealed, Ported, or Passive Radiators? My first choice would be transmission line. Yah, they can take up some space but if done properly, they'll give you the most realistic bass(midrange too) and won't require much power.My second choice would be sealed. You still get good clean sound... | |
| Cost of running a tube amp. I'm with Buconero117, "if you must ask...".I too own an SLI-80, the all triode version, and have never given power consumption a single thought. Actually, it's in a second system and doesn't get that much use. My main system is powered by a couple... |
