| Amp overload,! NAD 2600 & maggies 3.5 It sounds to me that the amp you are using just can handle the load the speakers are presenting to the amp and it is clipping;I agree with the reponses to upgrade to a better amp;take a look at Belles,Odyssey and McCormack to just to name a few. | |
| Which tubes to replace Threshold SA/1 monos You might want to take a look at Audiovalve Challanger lineup;I am driving soundlab m2's with excellant results using their Challanger 180 monoblocks;these amps will run el34,6550 and kt88's. They are class A and have balanced/rca inputs;excellant... | |
| Tube Fireworks The tube may have suffered arc over and you saw the results of that;but I also think Elevick's suggestion is one to also consider. | |
| Dunlavy SC VI's... I owned a pair of scIII's and drove them with cary slam 100 monoblocks;the sound was fantastic.They did everything a audiophile would ever want so I can only think the VI's are even better.As far as mods I did none;my only problem was a driver wen... | |
| Polarity mystery: Can you help me solve it? You can simulate this situation using a simulation program although you would need to know the layout of the crossover with component values and connections;LT Spice a free simulation program could do this if you wanted to take the time to downloa... | |
| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe Pubul57- Hard to move back to the solid state sound when your a tube guy as am I;my roland 6's for me come very close;I would like to hear that solid state amp Ralph mentions now and then in the forums the name escapes me this moment though. | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I have a older pair jeff roland model 6 monoblocks and think I will hang on to them for quite some time. | |
| Need to buy used integrated about 800 dollars Maybe the Shanling A3000 that is for sale in the intergrated section would fit your needs;seems like a good deal price wise but I am not familiar with this unit and how well it may or may not mate with your speakers. | |
| Polarity mystery: Can you help me solve it? Have you used any test cd's with phase test signals to try and help you understand this situation? | |
| Speaker Question...first post on the gon Sounds like a speaker that fits all your concerns;let us know how they work out;I was wondering how big your room is? | |
| Totem Forest and Budget Amplifiers There are a few Manley Stingrays near your price range that might be worth looking into. | |
| Silverline Minuet Speakers and Receivers or Amps If they are new just remember there will be a break in period;I don't know what that would be for this manufacturer perhaps a user will give you some idea of break in time;enjoy the purchase. | |
| Polarity mystery: Can you help me solve it? Got any test equipment like a o scope;if so I would put channel one on the input of speaker and then input a ac sine wave signal and look at the other drivers vs the input signal to see if the signal at the driver itself tracks with the input or i... | |
| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe Pubul57 would the older jeff roland amps(models 6,8t,9t) be a good match for the Merlins;I have a pair of model 6 monoblocks driving usher rw 723's and its just a great sound;I would think driving Merlins the sound would be even better. | |
| Speaker Question...first post on the gon With the specs you are looking at the only speaker I can think of would be Klipch but I am not familiar with their lineup as to which model;I have always liked the cornwalls and forte's though;you might want to check out their products for yoursel... |
