I need help selecting a tube amp Welcome to the Darkside! You will never go back. Take your pick of amps as most anything should power your speakers. I would suggest giving Cary and VAC a serious look.KiD | |
B&W Nautilus 800.....where's the bass? It is a crime to run those speakers with Adcom amplication. Two things as mentioned above, Room Placement and Amplification.Chris | |
RCA to XLR adapters… I would suggest purchasing a new CD player with Balanced outs. Take advantage of the Balanced connection. No Adapter is a good Adapter. Trust me.Chris | |
Grand Pianos paired with Classe/Theta electronics? Bonnix,Thanks! Actually the Sonus Gravis Subwoofer is pretty nice and really musical. I heard it paired with a pair of Concertos and was impressed. They also make a Cremona Version of this subwoofer but it does not come cheap. My first choice thou... | |
Merlin TSM-MM vs. Tyler Reference Monitor Plinko,Sorry if I made the point that the Merlins were better because they cost more as that was not my intention. I was just stating that they were more expensive for his budgetary concerns.The Taylos are wonderful speakers in the right applicati... | |
Merlin TSM-MM vs. Tyler Reference Monitor Drseid,That is great that you are getting better results with the Tylers. Thanks for the Kudos on my speakers as well. I think I have read some of your posts. I started with great results with my Taylos as I had an Electrocompaniet ECI-3 integrate... | |
Merlin TSM-MM vs. Tyler Reference Monitor Cruz123,BTW: I really like your setup. I just upgraded from a Cary 308 CD player to a SONY SCDXA777ES. I was looking for a 308T but could not find one in my price point when it was time to buy. However, no regrets with the Sony. Chris | |
opinions please on Tung Sol 6550 vs JJ kt88's The Svetlana KT-88s are what I ended up with after trying NUMBEROUS tubes in my SLI-80.. See my system... Good luck..Chris | |
Merlin TSM-MM vs. Tyler Reference Monitor Cruz123,You are very welcome. My listening room is about the same size as yours. I would trust Bobby's advice 100% if he said it will be fine. I think the Merlin Speakers will be heads above the Tylers. As they cost more. Like I mentioned, I don't... | |
Merlin TSM-MM vs. Tyler Reference Monitor Cruz123,Very nice system. I own a Cary SLI-80 Sig as well. I used to own the Tyler Taylo Reference Monitors and they took about all the SLI-80 would muster in the Triode Mode which is what I prefer to listen to. The speakers did not seem as effici... | |

Grand Pianos paired with Classe/Theta electronics? I own Grand Pianos and absolutely love them. At that price, they are a steal. I use a Cary Tube Amp with mine but the Classe and Theta stuff should really shine with them. I really don't see how you could go wrong with them. Chris | |
Integrated amplifier - selection and alternatives I owned an Electrocompaniet ECI-3 and loved it. I am sure the ECI-4 has the same sonic character. I would glady suggest this amplifier. You should be able to get a deal here on a used unit. I would also strongly suggest the Musical Fidelity integr... | |
Spanish Guitar Just stumbled across this thread and would like to turn you guys onto something very cool. Check out Steve Stevens Flamenco A Go-Go. It is an amazing piece of work from a brilliant guitarist. http://www.stevestevens.net/new/flamenco%20reviews.htmC... | |
Audience AU24, are they good? I have tried about everything out there in my system and now use Au24 on my main 2-channel system. Their PowerChords compliment the Au24 very nicely. The Au24 is hard to beat in my opinion. Chris |
