| High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more Horning, Followed by Tannoy, and Zu a distant third | |
| Most powerful and popular EL34 tube amp? The Manley Neo Classic 250 have 250 wpc of EL34 power, and the Snappers have 100wpc. | |
| Speakers for 55 watts of EL-34 tube power ? I've been using the Manley Snapper 100W El34 amps for over a year with my Harbeth SHL5 speakers. I think 55watts would work just fine with them. | |
| Wiring a subwoofer to monoblocks With my Monoblocks and one REL subwoofer, I have one hot wire (red) to the + speaker post of one amp. The other hot wire(Yellow) to the + speaker post of the other amp. And the ground (black) to the - speaker post of one of the amps (either will d... | |
| How was the Axpon show in Jacksonville? I thought it was pretty good too. Hope they do it again next year. I really enjoyed the Thiel/Boulder 5.1 room and the TW Acoustic/Thoress room. | |
| Setting Sub Crossover Freq I found going a little lower than the output of my speakers with a little more volume to be much better than the other way around. Mine works best (seamless) out into the room and not in the corner. | |
| W/ $200 what amp would you buy? NAD or Parasound | |
| Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest? As far as Monitors go, I dont see myself leaving the harbeth line. | |
| Is Singlepower still in bussiness? You need to go to Head-fi.com and check out the "stickys" in the amp section. There is no reason for taking ALOT of peoples money and vanishing with it. Also, the amps he put out over the last couple years had serious (dangerous) problems. | |
| Is Singlepower still in bussiness? Singlepower (Mikhail) took $6K from me about four years ago and never gave me anything. Check out how many others either got ripped off, or had to send there amps to other techs for serious repair. Threads are all over head-fi.org about all the pe... | |
| Electro Harmonix 6922 pre-amp tubes Thanks Newbee, From your description, think I will stick with the sovteks in my BAT phonostage. | |
| Amp/ preamp for electostatics and why The Manley Snapper monoblocks have balanced inputs, sound wonderful, and match great with the BAT preamps. I use the VK-42se with mine and have a friend that uses the VK-51se with his. They are easy to bias, takes all of about 5 minutes. | |
| Are Harbeth S HL5's As Good As Reviewers Claim? I'm a big fan of the Tannoys. have heard three different tannoy systems recently, and could live with them. But i would not sell my SHL5s to make the move to them. (as i am sure the Tannoy owners would rather keep what they have)The SHL5 are very ... | |
| Electro Harmonix 6922 pre-amp tubes Has anyone compared the EH to Sovtek 6922s? i will need to be replacing the 8 6922s in my phonostage at some point, and dont want to go the NOS route. | |
| what tubes to use in manley steelhead rc preamp My use of the 5687/7044 variety tubes has been the different than Rgurneys. I like the GE7044 better than any other 5687 type tube but the Bendix 6900. I have never had noise issue with them at all. I've used them in CDPs, headphone amps, and my M... |
