| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions Violins always sound a bit screechy to me. I much prefer the cello. So maybe I’ve never heard a properly set up system.How sensitive are the D7 to off axis adjustments? Can you tweak your toe in until they’ve settled a little more?One of the han... | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions I know a person who drive D9 with Line Magnetic 805 SET amp with satisfaction.https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/spendor-d7-speakers.717289/page-12#post-23429895His nickname is "Freesole" Thanks. I've corresponded with him in that same thre... | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions A friend of mine had the Spendor D7s and was having the same experience as you. He found the solution to be a Luxman tube integrated. He later swapped the Spendors for Harbeths but that was also due to a problematic room. Good luck as this pr... | |
| Demo'ing Class A amps, Appreciation Suggestions from those who recently been there Pulled the trigger on a 12 month old Pass Labs XA25 at $3ktoday. Nice! Please let us know how it goes. I've been eyeing this amp as well. Do you mind revealing where you got it? | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions Other than the XA25 mentioned above, I recommend you check out the Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista 600. I listened to it recently with Spendor D9s, a very pleasing result. I imagine it would sound just as good with the D7s if not better Interesting s... | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions I would pair a Prima Luna tube amp with a Prima Luna tube preamp. System synergy is key. I wish I could, but my rack just doesn't have space for two 8 inch tall devices. And my apartment is very limited so a taller rack won't work either. One... | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions I spent a lot of time investigating speakers before I purchased my Spendors. Then came buyers remorse and doubts. But with each passing week I am liking them more and more... Yes the wine analogy is really on point. But I also wonder how much i... | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions I am in the same boat here. I have upgraded my system. Currently have a Linn Majik DSM (w/ amp and volume turned off) that feeds a Pass Labs XP-20 preamp and a 250 watt Bryston 4BSST-2 power amp. I have new demo Spendor D9s. Playing vinyl sounds a... | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions The only time I get infrequent high frequency distortion/edge/glare revealed by my D7's is with a digital stream in my system. It never appears with vinyl. I use an Auralic Vega G1 and I suspect I'd need to move higher up in the market to get s... | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions Well I upgraded from some older Monitor Audio Silver S10s, which are warmer and more forgiving to poorer recordings. I played them back to back on the same recordings and the MA is just not as bright in the treble. Midrange is more recessed and pu... | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions @millercarbonMaybe I am using the term revealing incorrectly. Maybe it's sibiliance in the high frequencies? I don't know, whatever it is it is uncomfortable to my ears at medium or high volume on certain tracks. A good example is the lead guitar ... | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions My D7s have probably 200 hours on them or so. Maybe a bit more. I actually have noticed the tweeter evening out a bit. These were a demo pair at a dealer and they were not sure how much it had run in before I bought them.Anyway, class A amp and Tu... | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions What Spendor speakers do you have? The classic line? | |
| Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions Yes - I've heard that as well. Problem is finding a dealer around here that carries them... | |
| Demo'ing Class A amps, Appreciation Suggestions from those who recently been there Just wanted to chime in that the XA25 and Int-25 are rated at 25 watts, which is a very conservative rating defined only by what amount THD they were willing to live with. They both tested into around 80 watts at 1% distortion. I think both will h... |
