| Little two-way boxes on a stand.... So you don't even like the LS3/5A's? Those have been my go-to small speakers for 40+ years! And for contrasts I have KLH Nine ESL's, plus two pairs of Quad 57's. | |

| Best Amp With Some Warmth and Midrange Magic To Pair With The RAAL Requsite SR1a's? Perreaux 2150B - 340wpc/8ohms, 680wpc/4ohms, 920wpc/2ohms. My go-to amp when a lot of power is required! Available for around $1K. Sound quality equal to amps costing 10X +. | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV - not what I was expecting Some people like 'em - and some don't! I confess that I have a pair of Heresy Mk1's. But I'd rather listen to my vintage Altec's and JBL's! | |
| Synergistic Research Cable Risers? What will the genius of Ted Denney come up with next! | |
| New tubes...far more power?? And if you think that your power tubes will sound better with use - forget it! Tubes, unlike say, wine and whiskey, do not improve with age! | |
| New tubes...far more power?? All tubes, both large and small, produce varying amounts of harmonic distortion: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th ... And this is measurable. Your new set probably has a different harmonic distortion signature. Which you noticed and did not like! There is no "c... | |

| Completing and old system: suggestions for class A amplifier The SA/3 is also excellent and will work well with the 300L speakers. | |
| Completing and old system: suggestions for class A amplifier The First Watt F7 (Nelson Pass-designed, 25wpc) is a good recommendation. I have the Tim Rawson clone version. | |
| Completing and old system: suggestions for class A amplifier The sonic differences between well-designed Class A and Class A/B amps are miniscule! | |
| Got Vinyl and Qobuz cued up in Do-or-Die Comparo I've had the Elite Hotel LP and listened to it on my system. It is an excellent sounding recording! | |
| Stereo Receivers from the past... Nostalgia calls! I bought a Marantz 2235 from an eBay auction with my sole bid of $135 + shipping! Not bad, eh! | |
| Stereo Receivers from the past... I had a Marantz 2270 back in '76 - '77. Bought it new from Rabson's on 57st, NYC. Paid $380 + sales tax! Used it for less than 2 years before buying separates - AGI 511 preamp and GAS Son of Ampzilla. Wish I'd have kept the 2270 just for its tuner... |
