| Best amp under 1k for Soliloquy 5.0s Joe- you could only use two of those little Trends. I'm not sure what I was thinking. The unit is technically already bridged due to the way the chip works. Even two would be awesome. At least give them a google. | |
| Best amp under 1k for Soliloquy 5.0s The 5.0s are great speakers- I have run them in a room larger than yours with 10wpc. I also had the 6.0s for a while. They did make a SM-2a3 for 2a3s and 300bs but in all honesty is want that good- it wasnt efficient enough.A am very big fan of tu... | |
| Cheapest Sweetest deal you've found Trends 10.1 integrated for $130 (now $150) is a screaming deal. The ebay quad active monitors that can be had for less than the passives. -Rob | |
| Quad Active Speakers 11l and 12l history/future Shadorne, your dead on. Audiophile politics and other ancillary elements of the system building process have been the achilles heal of active designs. Not the price/performance ratios. What I would like to see if an active design utilizing a ss am... | |
| Quad Active Speakers 11l and 12l history/future Congrats TIC- I think you will be very happy. Synergy can be a tricky thing to pull off- active designs make this much all that easier. You should read the review of the 11l active the TAS did back in November. They compare the sound with an ARC l... | |
| Opinions on Aragon 4004MKII? This generation of Aragon amplifiers were designed by Krell.Really nice amplifiers that hold their value well. However, they are getting a little long in the tooth and very well could use a service within the next couple of years. | |
| Smoother bass by running woofer out of phase? The OP is explicitely talking about changing the phase on the woofer for smoother bass. | |
| Smoother bass by running woofer out of phase? I third setting up on the long wall. No question about it. In addition- only 50% or so of recordings actually maintain absolute phase, so who knows what you are actually hearing. Just because your wiring is in phase doesn't mean your music is. | |
| A great SS integrated with a good phono stage? You might even try a Brio or Mira from Rega. Well within your price range-great phono sections. No I don't own or sell them... | |
| Best way to break in a tube amp? With cheap tubes? Thank you Czbbcl. | |
| the smoothest sounding speaker Ultra smooth. This has held true for both the 5.0s and 6.2s I have owned. Mating with tubes is almost too much imo. | |
| Compact Low-Powered Amp Recomendations? Second the sophia reccomendations. Also that Trends unit mentioned before is absolutely stunning. www.audiomagus.com sells them in stock ot tweaked form.I had a stock baby and a stock trends driving bg ribbon monitors and while both were good, the... | |
| Tube amp speaker output 4 ohms VS 8 ohms My experience is that there is no way to tell without trying. The sound will be much different in most cases. I have had 4 ohm speakers sound better on 8 ohm taps many times. You certainly will not hurt anything by experimenting. If you run search... | |
| Triangle Titus 202 Opinions? I do take them with a grain of salt. Heck, something that sounds good in the bedroom can sound like hell in the living room so these are generalizations. One note that you brought up is that the Titus got more expensive, and it did. And while it m... | |
| Triangle Titus 202 Opinions? We have all heard this 100 times about Tellig and Triangle and his apparent raving. How do you explain all of the other terrific reviews though? TNT for example... I would agree that they are not going to be everyones cup of tea but your view is a... |
