| Help picking an amp to work with my system Parasound A21 will do the job. Also make sure you pull the ESLXs out from where your screen is. A couple of feet will do it, 3 feet is better. | |
| Help picking an amp to work with my system That said, I don’t have to have it that loud In that case get a good A/B or Class D amp with some serious power and low ohm capability (200wpc is enough) and maybe think about a sub to take on some of the load. If you like the Nova give them a ... | |
| Why Do You Post? I've been in the hobby a very long time and if my experience counts for something I'm willing to suggest and help other members. My answers are sometimes short and maybe a little curt but writing flowery prose is not my best trait. | |
| Help picking an amp to work with my system so is 95db really that high of a volume considering the break in requirement? If you are clipping your amp, you are already playing way too loud for your equipment. Adding a robust 200wpc amp will help with that but I’m still concerned about yo... | |
| Recommendation all-rounded speaker (small room) All round speaker? Cabasse but they are more than round, they are spherical. | |
| Help picking an amp to work with my system I have ESLs and they are not that hard to drive. They are 91db same as the ESLX. I have driven mine with a 25 tube amp. However they do go down to 1.6 ohms at high frequencies. The Nova300 might not like that, I'm not sure. I am a little concerned... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. IMO a well designed amplifier should both measure well and sound good. But what if it doesn't? If it sounds good but the measurements are not great, what is wrong? What we hear or what we measure? | |
| "World's Best Cables" vs Audioquest interconnects Cables are about matching your system sound to what the cables do. You liked your AQs because they matched the direction your system needed. There are not good cables and bad cables. There are cables that work with your system and cables that take... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. that's why tubes still exist, to make it sound more like real music. That is way more than most people can understand but that is exactly the point of this hobby. | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. I believe audiophiles should not have to accept poorly measuring equipment. Thanks for posting. This thread was designed to help me understand people that rely on measurements above what they hear. You make a good point but if an amp or what... | |
| My endgame system I think I see the problem. No table for your adult beverage. That needs to be corrected ASAP. | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. people are emotionally attached to their purchases I have lots of gear, no emotional attachment at all. It either does the job or it doesn't. I currently run 7 complete systems, the gear that doesn't cut it goes out to the garage system. I have... | |
| Harmon Kardon Citation 12 Amp with Buzz sound I don't think so but hook up the full system and see if still makes noise. I remember my Citation 12 as being dead quiet. | |
| Harmon Kardon Citation 12 Amp with Bellari Passive Pre-Amp ? Going back quite a few years when I had a Citation 12. It's a pretty good little amp but a good preamp will help take the edge off a little. I ran a Quintessence preamp with mine. That is a very simple preamp with little signal processing. It work... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. we can move on from poorly measuring equipment regardless of how it sounds? Back in the day amps strived for THD of .001. You can achieve that number by adding negative feedback, sometimes lots of negative feedback. But it turns out that amps s... |
