| Gustard R26 @botrytis, that's good to hear. Do you mean more optimized than the other inputs on the R26? | |
| Gustard R26 Anyone feeding their R26 via USB? My Aurender is USB out only, and even though I've read the R26 is optimized for LAN, I've really been enjoying the well-defined sound through the USB connection. It's like someone finally dialed-in my system's foc... | |
| Looking for 50-100 watts of Tube Power (give or take) for my JBL 4349s @pdreher, I've pretty much taken the AR 150SE out of the running. It's way more amp than I need and would be expensive to retube. I am strongly considering the VT80SE, and from what I've read they're designed to be used with any ol' preamp. This m... | |
| Looking for 50-100 watts of Tube Power (give or take) for my JBL 4349s @pdreher, I’m a bit intimidated by the VAC gear for the reasons you mention. The QS KT Monos are very tempting. I actually quite like the aesthetics -- they look all business. And it’s surprising how affordable they are. There’s a pair on US Audio... | |
| Looking for 50-100 watts of Tube Power (give or take) for my JBL 4349s @atmasphere, thanks, I will take a look closer at Class D options. I heard your monoblocks at Axpona last year and thought they sounded great. | |
| Looking for 50-100 watts of Tube Power (give or take) for my JBL 4349s There is a used LTA Z40+ integrated available local to me. I haven’t heard these in person but have read they’re great amps. Any thoughts on a Benchmark la4 with Audio Research VT80SE vs the LTA Z40+? | |
| Looking for 50-100 watts of Tube Power (give or take) for my JBL 4349s Thanks to everyone for the additional reccomendations -- I will look into them all. @auroravengeance, I was checking out the Lab 12 gear the other day -- looks really nice. I'm hoping to check them out at Axpona next month. I know they were there... | |
| Looking for 50-100 watts of Tube Power (give or take) for my JBL 4349s @ohlala, which Mark Levinson amp? | |
| Looking for 50-100 watts of Tube Power (give or take) for my JBL 4349s @bluethinker, thanks for this! I’ve been looking at a lot of the 90s and early 2000s era CJ amps. I like that they have some high-power el34 based amps. It would allow me to justify expensive el34 quads since I’d be able to use them with both amps... | |
| Looking for 50-100 watts of Tube Power (give or take) for my JBL 4349s @auroravengeance, the Torii is only 20wpc and the 4349s measure more like 89db sensitive. That said, even the 20 watts from the Torri Jr sound incredible through the 4349s -- no complaints at all. But I do know the 50 watts from the Muzishare and ... | |
| Looking for 50-100 watts of Tube Power (give or take) for my JBL 4349s Beautiful gear, @fthompson251. Thanks for rhe rec @artemus_5 -- I will check it out. @ghdprentice, I'm very drawn to Audio Research. I think the 150SE is overkill, but the VT80SE might be perfect to start with. There is actually one for sale loc... | |
| Looking for 50-100 watts of Tube Power (give or take) for my JBL 4349s @fthompson251, wow, 65watts of 300b power! I didn't know such a thing existed. What preamp did you use with this amp? | |
| Looking for 50-100 watts of Tube Power (give or take) for my JBL 4349s @yogiboy, those look great! I will take a closer look. @12many, I’m open to the idea, but I use to run a Decware CSP2+ in front of an Odyssey Khartago, and I don’t remember this combo having the soundstaging of a good tube amp. It was only one ex... | |
| 3-4 dB dip at crossover region: what should I listen for to hear it? What's an example of a currently produced speaker in the 4349's price range (give or take) that has similar dynamics and sound quality but measure better? | |
| 3-4 dB dip at crossover region: what should I listen for to hear it? @erik_squires, thanks, that makes sense. Funny you mention Altecs -- I don’t have much experience with horn speakers other than some old Altec Lancings my friend runs with a pair of MC30s. The 4349s remind me of those speakers more than any other... |
