| Pass Labs Int-30a or Naim 282- 250 combo I bought my PAD Dominus used here on Audiogon. | |
| Pass Labs Int-30a or Naim 282- 250 combo I am extremely happy with XP 10 and X 350.5. There are not very many amps that sound as good that can drive my Apogee speakers which have a 2.7 ohm nominal load. As for the power cord it is the wierdest thing that power cords could have such a pro... | |
| Pass Labs preamp with Krell Evo amp. Anyone..?? Mert,More does not mean it is better. I see you have an EVO 402 and it is a fine amp and I am sure it makes your speakers sing. In most cases it is easier to make a less powerful amp sound good as opposed to more powerul amp. The more output devic... | |
| Pass Labs Int-30a or Naim 282- 250 combo Both amps you described do have differing sound presentations, Buy the one you enjoyed listening to the most. The so called experts on Audiogon do not have to live with your purchase. Buy the one you liked the most. That being said both are fine a... | |
| Pass Labs preamp with Krell Evo amp. Anyone..?? I used a Pass Labs Aleph P for many years with several Krell Power Amps with great results. The X2.5 is a decent pre-amp but I found that the Aleph P was a better pre-amp in my system. I now have a Pass Labs Xp 10 which is much better than both th... | |
| 802d for a 10x13 room, 8ft ceiling - am I nuts? B&W just introduced for 2010 is an 804D that has the diamond tweeter, more refined mid-range, and it looks like it would be a better speaker for the space you have. The diamond tweeter is a big improvement over the normal metal dome. I have he... | |
| Floyd-The Wall...which one? Get an early UK pressing with no writing on the spine or any where on the cover if you can. I bought my copy of the Wall here on audiogon from a UK CAD engineer from B&W Sperkers about 6 years ago. I have 5 copies but only one UK pressing. The... | |
| Looking to upgrade my preamp - suggestions? I got to try an Audio Research LS 17 that belongs to a good friend and it sounded very good. I not in to tubes too much anymore, I found my self trying different tubes and it started to get in the way of just listening to music. I just bought a Pa... | |
| Someone familiar with older KSA Krell amps I have owned several of the Krell amps over the years. The best one I have owned was a KSA 80B and the second best was a KAV 2250. The 2250 had better bass than the KSA 80B but the midrange on the KSA 80B is magical. The other Krell amps that I ha... | |
| Amplifier Experience Gryphon Pass Lamm BAT I would go with the Pass Labs XP-20 and the XA160.5. I love the sound of tubes but I own Apogee Divas and need a big amp combo like the XP-20 and XA160.5. I currently own an X350.5 with an XP 10 which has plenty of power and sounds great. I will u... | |
| apogee divas Apogees do not require as much room treatment as some other speakers. They can be tricky to set up but a carefully placed wall hung rug usually does the trick. Keep in mind most Apogees need breathing room so they tend not to be close to walls. | |
| Apogee Duetta vs Mangnepan 3.6r I do not think Dschultz never really got hear a set of Duetta signatures the way I have. A close friend owns a local audio store in Albuquerque, and sells Magnepans and we have tried very hard to make a pair of 3.6 sound better than my old Duetta ... | |
| Apogee Duetta vs Mangnepan 3.6r You cannot go wrong with the Apogee Duetta Signatures you can get replacement parts from Apogee Acoustics of Australia They will not sell the bass ribbon to you direct but they do have two authorized repair stations that can intall the bass panels... | |
| Okay I Bought the Magnepan 3.6's You need a lot of power. I own a Pass Labs X350.5 and use it to drive my Apogee Duetta Sigs. The more power with Magies or any planar type speakers the better. I would be very careful with using your NAD power amp to run your new Magnepans you can... | |
| really bright sounding speaker cables Try the Kimber Kable 8tc I set up a friend who had a little more bass than one would like in a system. It seemed to tighten the bass and was spot on neutral. |
