| Total bass suck out at 40hz I've had some pretty nice systems throughout my lifetime. When COVID struck and I had some time at home I decided to get a digital sound processor. I fiddled for weeks and tri-amped my speakers with a relatively cheap Rotel 6 channel SS amp. I ... | |
| What do/did you do for a living? I sell ice in Nome Alaska. Things have been slow, but I'm hoping that global warming will be good for the business and I can buy more audio gear. | |
| Good Stereo Speakers for outside use during BBQs, evening pot luck dinners etc About a year ago I had a back patio built with BBQ, etc. I needed to replace some old speakers mounted on the wall of my house. I agonized over reviews of the Klipsch AW-650, Proficient Audio AW-830, Polk Audio Atrium 8, and PSB CS-1000. Unfort... | |
| 70’s rock pressings. Witch equipment deserve? It depends. You're asking audiophiles if you should buy audio equipment to enjoy your music. Of course they are going to tell you to buy the best, most expensive gear you want to spend your money on. The better the gear, the more revealing of p... | |
| Need help replacing my beloved Magnepan.... I had Maggie 20.1s, ran out of room, sold them and bought Tonian Labs TL-D1s. I was very happy with my choice. You can get them used for about $1700. | |
| Down side of speaker swop from AZ to Tonian Labs ? @nonoise I think I may be the guy you sold your TLD-1s to. They were actually a modification of the TLD-1s (MkIII SE) special edition. I bought them unheard in a storage lot. I still have them. I'm driving them with a Woo Audio SET. With the ... | |
| Should I eliminate my preamp? Why not go to a high quality integrated amp and forget this whole discussion? I went to a 300B amp and I've been very happy with the results. Before that I had Maggy 20.1 panels, Manley Neo Classic 250 tube amps, and a Prima Luna Dialogue tube p... | |
| Belles Virtuoso or PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium HP I had a PL Dialogue Preamp that was paired with Manley 250 Neo Classic monoblocks. They were driving Magnepan 20.1s. Wow, the sound was amazing. But it was big, and when they were on for a while I felt like I was in Hades it was so hot! I sold... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp I also have a 300b amp (Woo Audio WA-5). I did massive research on speakers for 300b amps and came across Tonian Labs TLD-1 speakers. They are no longer available new, but you can look for used ones. I have a pair and they are amazing! They wo... | |
| Best Cheap Amps for Magneplanar Speakers I own Maggie 20.1s. I first powered them with an Accuphase P1000 SS amp. On paper, the Accuphase was the perfect amp. It was capable of delivering lots and lots of current, 1000 amps into a 1 ohm load!! The Maggies are a 4-5 ohm load, and that... | |
| Honing down the speaker shortlist ~$5K Have you considered going to a 300B SET amp and Tonian Labs Classic 12.1 S speakers? There's a pair for sale on AG for $5,200 now. For the music you listen to, this would be an incredible sound. Very fast, articulate, good solid bass. At an ef... | |
| Need amp suggestions for Hedlund Horns.... Are the speakers in your profile picture hedlund horns?? Hedlund horns are massive (close to 7 feet tall). Anyway, do you live in southern CA? I would love to match my amplifier with your speakers. I have a Woo Audio WA-5. It's a 300B SET wit... | |
| A thin and elegant system? I'm in the process of replacing my Manley Neo Classic 150s and Magnepan 20.1s with a Woo WA-5 300b SET (8 watts), nice set of headphones, and decent bookshelf size speakers. I didn't want to occupy the whole guest room with my stereo gear. | |
| Help! Best amp for Rockport Aviors? Do me a simple favor before you buy a new amp. Drive your current amp directly from the Berkeley DAC. I did this, taking a PrimaLuna Dialog preamp out of the mix, and it was a big improvement. | |
| Looking for the good sounding Pre Amplifier I wouldn't get a preamp at all. I would get a used Berkeley DAC, version 1 and feed the CD digital out into the Berkeley DAC then the output of the DAC directly to your amp. The Berkeley has a volume control. The Berkeley DAC will have a better... |
