| Better/best fullrange nearfield speakers? Actually i would like a speaker that drop off at 35-40hz as 40-45Hz only trigger nodes. I have 4 huge bass absorbers in here now as i listen alot to electronic music. My speakers are Barefoot Sound Micromain 27.Dual 10 inch, dual 5.25 mid drivers ... | |
| PMC IB2 SE Too late, far to late. But i had IB2 at home, not SE version. Awesome speakers. I hope you bought them? | |
| transistor pre with the sound of tubes You speak of something like Hattor http://www.hattor.com/tubeactivestage.html+http://www.hattor.com/dualmono_preamp_the_big.htmlwith the matching controller (no extra options needed if you use the active tube buffer) | |
| transistor pre with the sound of tubes Yes, ofcourse components age. I often question why people buy 20 year old units that never have been through a check up or service. | |
| transistor pre with the sound of tubes Thinking a VTL with siemens tubes? I was told those are most neutral? Is that a good start? | |

| transistor pre with the sound of tubes ^Haha, that's a good metaphor! | |
| transistor pre with the sound of tubes Thanks for many responses. Many units are expensive. I don't have that budget. I would look for a used pre. I think it is between Gamut D3i, Classe CP-700 and VTL TL 5.5 Signature II. The latter is the most expensive. | |

| transistor pre with the sound of tubes I’m not liking the idea of what people say, tubes must get warmed up first. I also am a bit worried of injecting noise. My musical preferences is also of very dynamic music with driving bass lines. | |
| transistor pre with the sound of tubes I was thinking of Classe and Gamut. But perhaps i should consider your suggestions! | |
| Bring my own preamp to an amp demo? Trying to demo a component can be almost impossible. I have experienced same as you. I think that is why we have so much new stuff on second hand sale. | |
| Silver cables added resolution In every situation i have been listening, i and my former hifi buddy did find silver to be hissed and anemic. I have had AQ Sky and Raven here (aswell as lesser known brands) and i sold all of them. Honestly, i will never again buy any silver cabl... | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer If you skip all ported options, you will probably notice that you like a larger driver. Have you listened to a dipole 15' or a sealed 15'?My Barefoot monitors for instance uses 2*10' and yes, these are monitors. |
