Speaker wire size VS speaker size. Should bigger speakers use bigger wires?
Speaker wires are important, bur an overkill is surely not needed.Depending  the need of a high bass level 0.75mm2 till 1,5mm2 is usefull the rest is overkill.For the rest: 4-pole calculations will clear everything.regardsTon

Tubes of solid state, thats the question....first: tubes are voltage amps, second: solidstate are current amplifiers.Both are good, but the ouput transformers in tube amplfier do have there own characteristics. With other words, there is an influe...

How do tube manufacturers like VAC get 55 watts per KT88 where others get only 30-35?
Hi all !Class A, AB etc. But I also noticed that there are output transformerless KT88 systems. I believe its a so called cathodefollower?.Then again comparisons with SS amps is difficult.... Tube amps are voltage related instead of SS which are c... 
B&W or kef

Speakers with deep base

speaker cables for b&w
Speakercables are not that critical as vendors try to make us believe.Just ordinairy cable is pretty good unless your distance is over 50 meters.
