| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Gallant_diva, I get the point. The amplifier in question is a Manley Stingray. I think it meets the quality requirements of the Stage. It is an early Stingray rated at 50wpc. Also, I spoke with you years ago when I was in the business. You mention... | |
| Amp/ preamp for electostatics and why Ralph, It is a fact that electrostatic speakers and OTL amplifiers work well together. The big Beveridge 2SW and 2SW2 used OTL amps and the Acoustat X had direct drive OTL amplifiers also. I have always been curious about who designed the Beveridg... | |
| Amps and the ESL 57 Audio Research ST70 C3. | |
| anyone mated AR 100.2 w/ LS-12? AR = Acoustic Research. I think you mean ARC. I have never heard of anything from Audio Research being too warm. | |
| Dear Fellow SC IVA owners Jonathan, I just don't understand how letting your speakers run full range and adding a subwoofer can improve the midrange. I have heard improvements by using a crossover while adding a subwoofer thereby relieving the main amp of low frequencies a... | |
| Dunlavy SC VI's... I see you know more about speaker design than John Dunlavy. Maybe you should have spread the speakers farther apart before you made all of the changes. | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Gallant_diva, I'm still a little confused after reading Leo's statement again. He states a 50 watt receiver may drive the speakers well. His "so what" is in regards to quality. "You might find a good receiver of, say, 50 watts/channel output that ... | |
| Why monoblocks? Minor1, I totally agree. "It is the same logic as why you use separates in the first place. Just step back and ask why you use separates and you answer your own questions". | |
| Why monoblocks? My comment was not negative toward VAC or Mr. Hayes. I was commenting on the market regarding specific products. I have no personal interest in any product at this time.What was I thinking? I thought we were comparing apples to apples. I'm not tal... | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Thank you for clearing that up. Do you think I can run the Stages with 50 watts? | |
| Rotel, no more DVD players? I see the problem. I wondered into a home theater post by accident. This is why nothing makes sense. | |
| Sound of SED Winged C KT88 vs. SED Winged C 6550's The Gold Lion KT88 reissue does not sound the same as the original Genalex KT88. For that matter, none of the reissue tubes sound like the originals. | |
| Why monoblocks? Kclone, He is using a Mark Levinson stereo amp and he wants to go back to monos. | |
| Why monoblocks? Statman, This is exactly what I was talking about. The Classic 120s actually have twice the power of the Classic 60. I have owned both and both are great amps. You forgot to mention the soundstage was bigger with the monos.Audiofeil, I did the 300... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states I have owned several pairs of Dynaco MKIII monos and I have never heard of a Dynaco MKIII producing 100 watts.Also, these 20 watt single ended amps that keep up with higher powered amps only do so on efficient speakers when everything is just righ... |
