| Easy to Drive Bookshelf Monitor? Thanks Rene... I'll take a look at these. | |
| Easy to Drive Bookshelf Monitor? I found the Zu website and see they do have a bookshelf monitor called the 'Tone' that lists for $1,800 (more for non-black finishes). Their sensitity is an amazing 101db! I never heard of this company before; have you listened to them?Paradigm do... | |
| Planar speaker that don't require herculean amp? Thanks Dave... I'll take a look. | |
| Planar speaker that don't require herculean amp? Thanks Duke for the response and email. That's too bad about the R-3's, but they're probably out of my price range anyhow. I'm not really interested in the Dynastats, as I am looking for a non-hybrid panel. I already have the Entec subwoofers, so ... | |
| Planar speaker that don't require herculean amp? Thanks Dave for the suggestion on the Apogees. I did some research on them, and from what I read, they seem that they are a difficult load and require powerful amps. I would be interested to know how well that guy's sixpacs work with the Caliper S... | |
| Planar speaker that don't require herculean amp? Actually, looking at Sound Labs website, model R-3 would probably be perfect, if I can get them for a lower price. They have a relatively high sensitivity, and are designed to work with a subwoofer. I also like that they have a wide horizontal dis... | |
| Planar speaker that don't require herculean amp? Thanks for responding. I've heard a lot about Sound Lab speakers, but they might be somewhat over my budget (3k or so max). The Entec subs have an internal low pass crossover at 100Hz. I'm currently using my surround processor which crosses over a... | |
| Monster Microphone Cable to the rescue I user a pair of Proco Lifelines microphone cables (about $60 for the pair) for my Entec subs with very good results. In general, I believe the pro-sound industry to be a good source of equipment for home audio at much cheaper prices than the high... | |
| Good passive subwoofer? I use my old Adcom GFA-555 to drive the woofers of NHT ST-4 speakers with very good results. The Adcom is bridgable by flicking the little switch on the back, and it's bridged mono output is 400 watts @ 8 ohms, not 600 watts. | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system? Eldartford, from your comment "I have two of them, for front left and right and surround", I assume that you don't have digital speakers, and that you are using the analog inputs of the DEQ, therefore the DEQ first does a A/D conversion, then D/A ... | |
| EL34 vs. KT66 output tubes Trelja, I'm curious as to why you and others prefer the EL34 over the KT66. What are the characteristics of the EL34 that you prefer.Chang, you mentioned a couple of times about not using the Chinese or Russian KT66's. Which brands to you recommen... | |
| EL34 vs. KT66 output tubes Yes, 'richer' is the correct word for what I am hearing. I little more forward as well. I like the bass with the KT66's; it seems a little rounder and fuller than with the EL34's, although maybe not quite as deep. | |
| EL34 vs. KT66 output tubes By the way, it was the folks at Cary that suggested the KT66. I called them asking for suggestions based on my comments and the type of music I mostly listen to, and they thought the KT66 would work well... they were correct! | |
| EL34 vs. KT66 output tubes The EL34's are the Ruby EL34B STR. I'm not sure who makes the KT66's; the writing on them is "Electron Tube KT66 Made in China". I thing the brand might be Shuguang. I got the first set of KT66's from Cary, and the 2nd from Upscale.What I mean abo... | |
| Survey-What is your most used source? CD: 98% LP: 2%CD has certainly come a long way. I would be interested more in SACD if there were more titles. |
