| Looking for power amp with warm, smooth sound Lefty - Where are you located (zip)? | |
| It's Hammond B3 Organ Day Other than Jimmy Smith I really dig these two: "Live at Club Mozambique", Lonnie Smith; and "Zim Zam Zoom: Acid Blues on B-3", Ron Levy. | |
| ProAc D Two and an amp to live with forever BTW - I have NO experience with either the Leben or ProAcs. I was just making an observation. | |
| ProAc D Two and an amp to live with forever Beware though, if you go with Leben CS600, it only puts out 32wpc. This may be plenty for you. But if your room is large and/or you listen to loud levels this might not be powerful enough with those speakers (88.5db; 8 ohms nominal). | |
| Vandersteen 2WQ vs Martin Logan Depth Since you've asked for more suggestions ... I've not heard the 2WQs but have heard the ML Depth when I was evaluating subs for my 2-channel music system. I found the ACI Titan XL more musically satisfying than the ML (or others I heard including R... | |
| Anyone ever tried 2x100Watt Bi-Amp Vs 200 Watt I believe I misunderstood your question. For some reason I thought you were asking about vertical bi-amping - 100w for mid/HF drivers and 100w for LF drivers, not horizontal bi-amping - one amp per speaker. So please disregard my initial post. | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" REVORGANDRUM - Rev. Horton Heat on guitar and a few vocals (mostly instrumentals) accompanied by Hammond-B and drums. No bass so a different kind of sound. Fun retro kind of music. Better recorded and less intense than Rev.'s usual work. Highly re... | |
| Anyone ever tried 2x100Watt Bi-Amp Vs 200 Watt Bi-amping 2x100 watt can effectively be more powerful than 1x200 watts. LF and mid/HF driver simultaneously have such vastly different needs while playing. This does not gurantee a better sound, that depends on your speakers and the amp. But in ge... | |
| Questions about Preamp Tubes I've had my Mapletree Audio 2A/SE for > 2 years and no tube issues yet. It is by far the cheapest piece in my system at only $675, but the sound is glorious IMO. If you rank gear by price I guess it is "lower-end", though certainly not by sound. | |
| need pre amp suggestion Gsxr750ccs - Many factory preamps have too much gain. Its best to be able to set your volume control at half-turn for the volume you normally listen. Mid-way is generally the most linear position. Also, yuo'll have more volume selection when the g... | |
| need pre amp suggestion The mapletree stuff looks really interesting, especially at the price points. It looks very well built, does that hold true in reality?YES!! Give Dr. Peppard (great fellow) a call to discuss your equipment and needs. He will optimally customize ea... | |
| Company or Solitude? Solitude. For me, listening seriously to music is like floating down an unexplored river. Not knowing what lies beyond the next bend, but thoroughly enjoying the ride. When I sit down to listen I want to hear the songs which create whatever path m... | |
| Odyssey Mono Extremes vs. AVA Fet Valve I'm interested in a description of the perceived sonic differences. Or also of a Belles 350 Ref (stereo) and the AVA. Thank you. | |
| 15 watts & 94 db eff. speakers: how loud? Philjolet - huh? 3dB increase can be detected by most.Joelv - huh? each 3dB increase requires around (not exact) double the power, not tenfold. so 97 requires 2 watts, 100 requires 4 watts. | |
| Source or speaker Speaker first. Audition speakers at your house and commit lots of time evaluating them. Make sure you listen to various types of speakers (box sealed, box ported, OB, planar, high efficient, low efficient, one/two/three/etc. drivers, sat/sub, etc.... |
