| Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ? My Krell Ksa-250 will drive a 1 ohm load, it's rated at 2000 watts per channel@1 ohm. As a matter of fact I am looking for a pair of large Apogees in the near future, I have a pair of small Apogees now and have caught the Apogee bug it seems.Dave | |
| Where is my weakest link? Take a spl meter and test cd and get some readings before you spend a bunch of money, place the speakers for best bass responce and tweak from there. Marakanetz may have your answer if that does not work.Dave | |
| Which recording best highlites your speakers?? This week, (I change setups often)Alison KraussDiana KrallNatalie ColePatricia BarberSpeaker setup of the week is: Apogee centaur minors for mains with three Vmps subs. All recordings are sacd's.Dave | |
| Do you own the last amp you'll ever buy? My systems are always based around the speaker system, if I make a speaker change..then I must sometimes make an amp change. I never search out the "Holy Grail", I've been snipe hunting as a young boy. Speaker change in my systems are at around 5-... | |
| Decent SACD? The Sony won't be outperformed by any dedicated player I have listened to at its $2,000 (New) price point. But...I say that because I like it's laidback sound, if you like a player that is forward sounding then those players are on the market also... | |
| Decent SACD? I have a Sony XA-777es sacd player thats pretty good redbook player (I never feel like I'm missing anything). It's sacd playback is one of the best. It can be had in your price range. It also does sacd multichannel as good as any.Dave | |
| And we strive for..... what ? Ikarus, by musical tastes I ment that you may play the types of music that does not often use all these types of tricks as pop, rock, new age, electronica types of music do and would maybe be less aware. You seemed to be surprised by all this dopi... | |
| Downloading music from Internet --Pro's/Con's? Thanks for the info. Episteme, I'm gonna check the quality of these. Are these the same type of files being used by all the pay for music download sites?Dave | |
| Downloading music from Internet --Pro's/Con's? Nope, they would have to let you download the song as a wav file to be close. An Mp3 can not be as good if that is what they have to sell.Dave | |
| Bookshelf vs. Floorstand I would go with two smaller sub as apposed to one larger in your room, this will give you better bass responce once they are dialed in. If that cost is to high then I would go with a much larger floorstander that has true deep bass without a sub.Dave | |
| P.Gabriel in Hi-fi +...a real treat. Justin, Love it...another great addition to my slowly growing collection, Next Up (Avalon), I hear it's great. Thanks Ben as always and thanks Justin for the push.Dave | |
| Here we go again: $5000 budget, which HT speakers? Lets look at your room first, while it's large in size (thats good) it has two dimensions (24') which are the same (thats bad), in your case it means that all bass modes from around 23hz. up to 300hz. range will be excited by both walls at the sam... | |
| Which SS amps sound like a tube amp? There are a couple of Llano tube hybrids for sale on audiogon at this time in your price range, these will have no problem with your speakers. I don't think you can find a pass X-250 in your price range but I do agree as to it being a good choice.... | |
| Which SS amps sound like a tube amp? I would go with a tube pre and see if that does it for you. you can get a pretty good preamp for less than $2,000. What do you have for a preamp right now? If you use a tube amp you will need one thats happy with the 4 ohm load of your supertowers... | |
| And we strive for..... what ? Not trying to start anything as I have no idea of what as close to the original means in home systems or amplified music of any type. I can only assume that your tastes in music are of limited scope (In which case I guess I would have to agree pre... |
