| Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned?? Triangle Celius 202s. My buddy has them now and wont sell them back to me. So I bought a new pair of Triangle Antal EZs. Someday I might wipe out my regret and buy a pair of Signature Alphas, that should do it. | |
| Anybody used Nikko amps before? I was the first post to this thread in 2003. My nephew now has my Nikko Alpha VI arc welder and it's still chugging away. That's about 30 years so far! | |
| Brightest but shortest artistic bursts in the sky "Even more disappointing than "Satanic Majesties Request" by the Stones."A psychedelic classic. "Like a Rainbow" "Sing This All Together" and "2000 Light Years From Home" being the best songs. | |
| Tell Us about an Album That Took a Long Time to Grow on You I'm still not sure I have warmed up to Ummagumma. Maybe in another 50 years it will grow on me? I'm sure there were some albums that were a slow burn but I just can't remember which ones, seriously. Most of the time, I can tell in the first 5 minu... | |
| Kef LS50 - can it handle a subwoofer properly? Within the limits of the LS-50 it works fine. I ran two Hsu 10 inchers but one is almost as good. | |
| Did Pomona Ever Have Heart? It's a song about the labels on orange crates and grape crates. The lyric is Ramona and Sonoma not Pomona, and yes Ramona is a quaint little town. | |
| Need help identifying type or class of new tube amplifier 30 watts total or per channel (I’m guessing per channel)? RCA says the 6L6 can output around 6 watts in class a so probably not a class a amp. Most likely a class a/b push pull. But I’m not an amp circuit guy so YMMV. | |
| Why are the Infinity IRS, Reference 1b, Beta ect speakers passive on the mids and highs? "Hi Russ69Just curious. What did you move on to?"Marc Triangle Celius, Martin Logan, Magnepan, B&W. | |
| What to add or change for my system? You have a very nice system and the next upgrade is going to be expensive. Separate components with mono-block amps is the next level and if it was me the mono-blocks would be tube amps. Keep the integraded amp in case you need a spare when equipm... | |
| Advice on how to reset circuit breaker on Richard Gray UPS Power Conditioner I had a Monster brand circuit protector. When it blew due to static electricity, it had to be scrapped, one time use they said. I hope that is not your issue. | |
| Replacing KEF LS50s with Reference 1s "The two-way design eliminates the bass congestion of the LS50, so the gain is better bandwidth, more detail and more open sound. " The Reference 1 is a three way, remember the Uni-Q driver is a coaxial 2 way. | |
| Why are the Infinity IRS, Reference 1b, Beta ect speakers passive on the mids and highs? Not sure If I can add much to this discussion but active crossovers would have been more expensive at the time. The system was already expensive when you add the amp and other requirements. I own two sets of the RS1B woofer towers and the servo co... | |
| How much do large Vinyl collections go for these days? I'm not an expert but I think most record dealers or large collectors would offer a buck an album. Others might sort out the gems and give you half of retail. It's a sad situation because it's so labor intensive to sell records. The only people ma... | |
| Can I use this amp in my house? Audio Advisor says: "In fact, the 851W is so powerful that a normal AC power cable can’t deliver the current required. We supply the 851W with its own dedicated, high performance 20 amp AC power cable." It’s pretty clear you’ll need 20 amp service... | |
| Bose 901's with "highend ancillaries"?? I owned a pair of Series I back in the day and a couple of years ago I bought a new pair of Series VI to play with. Without a long and lengthy explanation, they are not very good at all. The Series Is were much better than the new series, so they ... |
