Help with a first tube amp Please
Ahendler - What's the other half of the story?They were very unhappy with Jolida so they got an XYZ and were very pleased? They were very unhappy with Jolida and didn't find another tube amp in that price range?I have owned 2 Jolidas and although ...

Drcruz - The Katz I have are the first version, you can see a picture on my system page. Much different from the ones on the Tekton website.The Katz are more smooth and do a better job of disappearing, the Lores have more bass. I would guess that ... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
I'm surprised Bose redid the 901s. I would think it could be a cash cow (no R&D, no retooling, no advertizing) if they left it alone. Thought they were more concerned with HT, headphones and other products they've become successful at. But to ...

Utah - Just FYI, I had Klipschorns when I took a chance on Eric's Katz Meow V1 speakers. I have never looked back, I have never missed the KHorns, and I like the Lores even better than the Katz. I didn't realize how much "unforgiving-ness" I was p...

07-18-11: Hifisoundguy"I think Bose got it "RIGHT" with their latest 901 series 6 version 2's this time around!"I've heard A LOT about the new 901s lately...mostly from you ;) 
Review: Tekton Design Pendragon Speaker
Nice review GP. As an owner of 2 pairs of Tekton's speakers I can only imagine how good those sound. Way too big for my room though.Enjoy! 
Stupid question
Thanks for following up.I am too lazy to do the test ;) 
Problem driving Martin Logan Ascent i's
I had a 400xi that drove my ML Ascent i very loud with no problem at all, certainly well above 95db, probably well over 100db (it's been a few years).Not sure how the 300 compares to the 400xi. 
Do Interconnects need to "warm up"?
06-11-11: Wolf_garciaSystem refresher disc? Wow...I play music through my rig all day (if I'm home) so when guests arrive they have a warmed up system to ignore while I bore the crap out of them describing how cool it all is."Hey, we have the same...

Hey that's good news Genjamon.I tried the "cross in front of you" toe in and didn't like it much either. But I'm not surprised about the difference in bass by moving only a few inches. Bass can be very finicky indeed. In my room I have the opposit... 
Do Interconnects need to "warm up"?
I would guess that if anything is warming up it would be the speakers.

06-06-11: Cwazz"Sebroff I apreciate the help , the 35 amp was actually a intergrated amp. I am use to the sub woofer.I had volume at 8-9 depending on the music."Couldn't make it easy, eh Cwazz :)The 35 watt tube integrated amp sounds like it shoul...

I've heard the Lores on a 2A3 SET, a 100 watt EL34 integrated, and a 200 watt SS (Carver) and tube preamp.Both tube amps sounded very good with the Lores, the SS amp was a non-starter. As soon as we hooked it up we knew we needed to disconnect it....

Thanks Cwazz, I was wondering what speakers you had. I had Paradigm Mini MkIVs at one time with the matching sub and liked them a lot. When I got them (when they were the current model) they were compared a lot against the NHTs. I never heard the ...

Cwazz - Just curious, what speakers were you trying to replace with the Lores?Has the bass improved any now that they have more hours on them? I'm in a small room so the bass is *almost* too much for me, but I did have them in a larger room (19 x ...
