| Bi-Amping Options B&W 801 Series 2 Try the Rogue by itself and see if you like the sound. Not sure you will even need the Mac amps unless you are trying to bust the windows. | |
| Technical assistance and recommendations needed Looks like I gotta replace the speakers, for something detailed with body for around 2 grand+-. Wharfdale Lintons will be just the ticket with your gear. | |
| What is the most challenging music to play on a stereo? Opera, huge dynamic range. | |
| Goodbye Everyone @elliottbnewcombjr It's not about pride, but too often I feel I'm wasting my time. No good deed goes unpunished! | |
| Tough situation - need advice on modern (or refurbished Equivalent) Advent Loudspeakers KLH or Lintons. | |
| Does anybody pay a pro to dial their system in? Even a modest set of headphones can sound really good. If you want your system to be better than your headphones, you'll have to buy some very expensive loudspeakers. Once you get sorted out, no headphone is going to match the loudspeaker sound yo... | |
| KT66s in place of KT88 tubes Generally no. Plate voltage is vastly different. | |
| Is the XA25 a realistic option for LRS’s? I've had a similar set-up before. If the bass is good, you should be OK. | |
| Big orchestral sound in pop, rock etc. Joni Mitchel, Miles of Isles | |
| Zoomer needs help navigating 50's-80's Hi-Fi equipment @feeney The gear you got is great for someone that is into vintage gear and can repair and test the gear to make sure it is working optimally. For a fellow like you, it might be more reasonable to sell the gear, as is, to people that are into vi... | |
| Is the XA25 a realistic option for LRS’s? I’ll never have speakers bigger than the LRS’s. Are you able to pull them at least 5 feet into the room? 5 or 6 feet is near optimum. | |
| Is the XA25 a realistic option for LRS’s? From what I understand the nominal watts rating is less important.... All I can say is that my .7s and MMGs can eat up my Parasound A21 pretty fast. It puts out a strong 250 wpc. John Atkinson has measured the XA25's output at 80 wpc, which ca... | |
| Is the XA25 a realistic option for LRS’s? Sorry but 25 wpc is not enough for the LRS. Unless you play at VERY low levels. | |
| Shifting center image and recommendations on an approach I never had this issue. I think something is wrong with your Rotel. Could be just a dirty volume/balance knob. | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! 3.7s have a tweeter to die for. It's a big panel and can push some air. Sub or no sub they sound great. |
