| McIntosh MA 352 or C22 Mk V? There are times when I want to listen at higher volumes I am running out of power. That amp will last a long long time, I would not worry about the caps that much. Your 804s need serious power and low impedance capability. The Levinson is the ... | |
| Tube Integrated vs Tube Seperates I’m leaning towards seperates right now. I just don’t think that makes sense for hours of daily use. I'm going to change my mind about an integrated and suggest a tube preamp and a solid state amp. If you are burning lots of hours you'll be... | |
| Tube Integrated vs Tube Seperates Aren't they on the back of the amp? On some of the mono blocks the power is on one end and the input/outputs are on the other end. I put the power plug in the front and loop the power cord under the amp, looks pretty clean. | |
| Buyer Dispute what if the drivers continue to be unavailable for 12 months, or 18 months or even more. What then? That's a good point. If you weren't aware of the long lead time when you accepted the last deal, I think it's a new ballgame and you could/shoul... | |
| Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference? I think there is a difference but not sure if 50K difference. Engineering and materials mostly. 50K may be a lot to the average person but perhaps for some it's not that much. If the expensive loudspeaker is not in your budget, does it really m... | |
| Tube Integrated vs Tube Seperates I had a long response but it went poof. So I’ll make this short and sweet. For your budget, buy the best new PL integrated you can afford. However without knowing what loudspeaker you will be driving, my final answer is TBD. | |
| Midrange heavy speaker cables, any recommendations? What electrical parameter is "colored". | |
| Which Tweeter preferred- dome natural material, Beryllium/Metal or Planar Ribbon? Why? The best tweeter IMHO is the Magnepan true ribbon. | |
| How low is a piano? My Steinway grand piano is 28 1/8" high from the floor to the top of the white keys. It will not go any lower, therefore, 28 1/8" is the lowest. Don't have a Sawsall? | |
| Buyer Dispute Demo speakers with blown tweeters. Nothing weird about that. The seller probably wasn't aware they were blown. On the other hand I had to return a pair of demo speakers once because of a blown tweeter. The dealer said; We thought so, did you mark ... | |
| How low is a piano? Depends on the piano and the tune. | |
| Integrated amp for Wharfedale EVO 4.2+sub Music will often be played at above average to high loudness. Sorry to say: None of the above. You will be a LOT happier with a better and more powerful unit. I would up your budget. I would like to see you with a Musical Fidelity M5si but at t... | |
| What can I do to improve my 2nd system? I was thinking about the heavy/thick drapes... Yes, heavy drapes and you can open or close to varying degrees to get the best sound. | |
| What can I do to improve my 2nd system? It doesn't look too bad. I'd move the loudspeakers to the very front edge of the stands, move the speakers about a foot more away from the side wall, and hang heavy but open drapes. | |
| Buyer Dispute If you have been provided the tweeter order information, all you can do is wait. |
