| What is nearfield listening? Last sentence should be ...and at lower frequencies you are near field. | |
| What is nearfield listening? Far field means many wavelengths away for the source. Near field is the opposite. A 20 Hz wavelength is 64 feet, IIRC. A high frequency wavelength is much shorter. So in some frequencies you are near field and at the lower frequencies you are far ... | |
| Seeking advice I am a big fan of Triangle. I have Antals and had Celius in the past. The Celius were magic in the midrange, the Antals were very good The only speaker that could really judge an amps sound. You might need two good subs if you like a full range sy... | |
| Ice fans for listening during warm/hot days I just cool the house down to 65 degrees, then turn the air off. I'm good for a couple of hours. | |
| Bi amping with two different pairs of monoblocks You need a crossover. DBX makes a good one. | |
| Considering a New Tube Pre-amp @billpete Just saw your post. I've been playing with my Mono rig and not on Audiogon that much. I gave my Cary SLP-98 to my nephew and it still has the stock tubes in it. Still my favorite. | |
| FM radio reception See if your channels stream on the internet. | |
| There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area I have had infinity woofer towers with 6 - 10 inch drivers. Not for home theater but they play all music as good as it gets. | |

| Seeking a Tube preamplifier In your price range the Cary SLP-98 with F1 mods is the natural choice. | |
| Re; Dynamics, Class D vs tubes… I have a bunch of tube amps, I'm a tube amp guy. With my Tekton Perfect Set 2-12s my best demo was with a Rogue Sphinx V3 (class D with tube front end}. It took the class D amp to get the loudspeakers thumping. Big sound, big impact. | |
| Speakers sound too bright. @rwalsh07 "What did you have before the Lintons?" Let’s see: Bose 901 Series I and IV, Infinity 1001a, Infinity Column II, Infinity Monitor 2A, Infinity RS 2.5, Infinity Renaissance 80, Triangle Celius, Triangle Antals, Magnepan MMG, Magnepan .7,... | |
| Is the "improvement" real or imnagined? "On the other hand, maybe its simply expectation bias, placebo effect, whatever, at work because there is science ..." That is why double blind tests are a failure. The only way to evaluate equipment or changes, is LONG TERM listening. many hours... | |
| Speakers sound too bright. I really liked my Lintons. I'd like to hear the new Super Lintons. |
