| Tubes or Solid State????? I would add Rogue Audio to your list. I have a Krell Ksa-250 and Rogue Audio tube amps.The Ksa-250 and another Krell amp (Kav-500) were part of my multichannel system. When I broke that system up I sold off the Kav-500 and bought the Rogue amps.I ... | |

| 1st, most memorable recording... My progress was slow...loud, lots of bass got me by for the first 10 years or so. But....Comboy Junkies "The Trinity Session" was truly a gem of the highest quality for me...holds true to this day!Dave | |
| Not wasting my time on new Digital Some speaker systems, amps, preamp, cd players...ect, have a quality thats hard to put into words...many old and new components get this part right.Vinyl gets this part right and is why it did not die it's predicted death. My old Counterpoint Dac ... | |
| Not wasting my time on new Digital I think my Counterpoint Dac 10-A and Kinergetics Research transport sound every bit as good as the two $3,000 retail cd players I've owned....circa 1992, a very good year.Dave | |
| Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective I'll agree with "blows away"...way over used at all audio forums. "Liquid?"...dumb, "fast bass?"...what the heck is that?...if one bass driver cycles faster than another, aren't they playing at different cycles?Dave | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? MacrojackRoom anomalies take place in all rooms, and with all speaker systems. The room and the speaker system are an equal partner and must be made to sing together...in harmony.Room modes are "modal" or "non-modal" peaks and dips. Modal are room... | |

Most speaker systems are rated at their -3db points although how and where the measurements are taken is often not cle... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Bartokfan"back to the idea of full range, options/tradeoffs."Your speakers (if they are the ones at the Madisound site have a spec of -3db@45hz, all things being equal...if we compare them to speakers that measure -3db@90hz...which one has more tr... | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Most # fudging of specs takes place in the book shelf and small floor stander market...after all, how else can those little speakers move massive amounts of air with out a little fudge on top....added weight so to speak.Dave | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? Tvad said:"Not intending to be argumentative here...merely "debative", but it seems to me anything that contributes to a more airy and alive sound also corresponds to the illusion of real music."I have not used super tweets before " more airy and ... | |
| New Tubes- Need Burn-In? I installed new EH-KT88's in my Rogue amps (got them from Rogue)...they sounded good from the start, no glare at all?Dave | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? A speaker that has strong output at 30hz may not be truly fullrange but is plenty of low bass for most music.Room lock and room shudder are a couple of terms I like to use...room lock sets in around 30hz (or so) as you feel the bass grip the room,... |
