| The midrange is the most important driver. Yes for the best midrange you must cross very low or go with a super tweeter...or no tweeter. Very few tweeters can play low enough. Compression drivers can. | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? Wolf - what was your previous preamp? | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? Matching pre and power with SS and tube can be a challenge like you said, especially if the equipment was not designed to go together. Vincent Audio hybrid integrated amps are an excellent step up from the Schiit and Jolida offerings. Vincent uses... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? I have heard a recent new product from a well established company with very innovative approach to class AB amplification in my system for a 30 day trial. Incredible resolution. Super clear, dynamic, great soundstage...etc. but after some time too... | |
| What makes you build a system around an amplifier? With few exceptions, acoustics are typically terrible at live events. Concert halls are typically poor acoustically, especially if they have been built in the last 100 years. | |

It's kind of like how I never noticed crossovers until I got a single driver setup. Nowadays, unless the crossover point is below around 1.5hz, I he... | |
| Low output gain amplifier for ZU 101db Efficient speakers Of course he did, that’s one of his bread and butter items, he’s not going to shoot himself and his company in the foot, left himself an "out" by saying "an unexplained phenomenon" BTW Where is this quote?It was a video interview. When pressed fur... | |
| Low output gain amplifier for ZU 101db Efficient speakers With speakers that are over 98dB there's really no advantage in having a preamp with gain, as you've found it's a diadvatage, you'll find many now are starting to go for passive preamps as per this Nelson Pass quote:George I heard Nelson say basic... | |
| KEF LS50... The ultimate anal-ytical speaker for living rooms? If you find the q100 thin you will find the LS50s to be thin as well. You will need to move up to the 6.5 woofer and larger cabinet of the R300...or pair with a sub. | |
