| Amplifier Specification questions I was just having a bit of fun. If class a operation was an actual concern for me I’d likely need to know. | |
| Blown tweeters Damn, both at once is odd. The only time I’ve blown tweeters is power surge from an electric storm, a loose rca connector opr accidental full power blast. multimeters can be found pretty cheap pull the failed drivers and check for resistance if th... | |
| Has anyone actually heard the Dali Epikore 11? Impressions welcome. I have a local dealer that has the Dali Kore and now the Epikore 11. I'm really enjoying my current system so haven't stopped in yet. If you're anywhere near chicago you can find them. | |
| True high-end Speakers need a midrange I don't own any Dynaudio, but they do a really good job with 2 way designs. | |
| If you were serious about sound you would... Within that logic we need the dimensions, furniture and treatments for each room of every studio if were gonna do it right. Is this an april fools thread? | |
| DAC as pre amp I have a project pre box s2 digital and I use it for a dac. It has a volume knob but I ask myself how much could they have possibly invested in this attenuator and still come in at $400? | |
| Integrated for TAD ME1: Luxman, Accuphase or Soulnote? I have kef speakers and if TAD has a lively midrange as KEF I think starting with a nice used Mark Levinson INT could be a very happy combo. Hegel h590 has impressive control but doesn't add any warmth. Gryphon Diablo would be really cool. | |
| Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? uum, The ultra tight miniature musician presentation with the hyper detail is super cool, especially in the evening. I always end up owning systems that compliment live recordings tho even if I listen mostly to studio recordings. | |
| Amplifier Specification questions Most A/B amp manufacturers don't market how much their amps run class A. I wonder how bad it would effect my listening experience to have power meters and know when the transition happens. Personally, I'd probably have to turn the meters off to ev... | |
| Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds I skipped to the end. My amps drive my conventional{not horn} speakers to +90 db with less than 5 watts peak so get yourself an amp that runs in class a for the first 5 watts or so and above that we're just screamin and dancin' like a pack of drun... | |
| 20 year old solid state technology..... I think we get what we pay for. When I was shopping the Adcom, B&K, NAC, Carver, etc components of that era they all sounded pretty much the same, They all probably used similar topology and second from bottom parts. I brought home a Krell and... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? Once we agree speakers and components can interact with varying results then I can say something is more musical 'in my system' without hurting anybody's feelings. When I bought the Hegel H360 I had a pair of Revel salon 1 speakers and of everyt... | |
| mcintosh c-12000 I was torn between the c2700 and the c49 so I brought the c49 home with a promise from my dealer I'd get full trade up value if I went for the 2700 later. My question is Why does the world need a 2700 bolted to a c49? I'm not trying to be a wise... | |
| Anthem STR pre and power amplifier Congrats, the pre/power combo are really nice products and audibly a step above the srt integrated. If I was looking for a system that used room correction and sub integration the STR separates would be in my home. | |
| Ideas for Pre/Power $9000? HegeL H590. Read some reviews that include measurements. On the used market they should be available. 2017 I tried a bunch of int's and separates in a similar price and power and the hegel H360 back then) was clearly the most neutral and dynamic. ... |
