Totem Forest vs. Sonus Faber Home or Domus Lines Auditors are $3995.00 and their dedicated stands (which Sonus Faber claims are essential) are $800.00. The Auditors are quite revealing and open with lots of detail, maybe a bit too much for my tastes. They sounded (with Linn electronics which may... | |
Best amplifier for Sonus Faber Concerto Home?? I was just kidding about the Crown amp. I find it too harsh for even my DJ service.You might look into Musical Fidelity as they make rather lean sounding integrateds. There are a bunch of used ones here on the site. | |
Best amplifier for Sonus Faber Concerto Home?? Say...try a Crown professional amp. Check the thread in Amps/Preamps. | |
Best amplifier for Sonus Faber Concerto Home?? The use of first person pronouns would have made things more clearerer. | |
Best amplifier for Sonus Faber Concerto Home?? Are you saying the Cary and Concerto sounded clinical? Weird. | |
Tyler Accoustics....a true pleasure to deal with.. Gold,2.5 pairs of speakers a year?? How can you ever get a handle on any of them, or do you have multiple systems around the house? Are you plaing with different finishes? What does your sig. other think?? I've had 15 pairs of speakers in the last... | |
SET for Orchestral , Big Band etc. I still say you'd better audition any horn speakers in your home. Almost a must for any new purchase but an absolute must with horns. | |
SET for Orchestral , Big Band etc. Phase angle is a by product of the crossover design. It's a good way to measure some of the difficulty or ease the amp will have driving the speakers. A benign phase angle will reflect a stable impedance load and therefore an amp has to work less ... | |
SET for Orchestral , Big Band etc. Depends on design as regards the sound of a 300B amp. But as everyone knows, the speakers must be an easy load - higher and steady impendance (6+ min. without going much over 11-12 ohms), efficient (87db at least), and an easy phase angle through ... | |
Linn Components I heartily agree with Lugnut. I tried my first tube pre-amp in 1984 and haven't gone back. Now have a Joule Electra LA150 mkII and it's superb. Makes wonderful music. I think the Harbeth C7s need a good amount of power, though, and am just today g... | |
Don't Think I'll Buy This... Ejlif,Ha, ha. You funny. Found some good ads. Also found some bad ads. Found some entertaining ads, found some not so entertaining. May take a break for a few days. Don't know yet. | |
Playing with the idea of solid state amps A Plinius amp purchased two months four months ago has made me not really miss my tube amps (mostly SETs) of the last 19 years. Just last night I was marvelling at the sheer musicality of the SA-50 MKIII and the fact that I have no desire to get b... | |
Linn Components Sorry, but I think (my own opinion) that the Plinius SA50-MKIII and Air Tight ATM300 sounds better than the two Linn amps I borrowed 4.5 years ago for a home test. Neither of the Linns had the color and tone richness of the amps I ended up buying.... | |
Linn Components "Plain ole Linn stuff"? Have you seen their high end amps and CD players? The $20,000.00 CD player is barely usable. The guy at the store who demo'd it for me a few years ago could barely get it to open. And the $1,500.00 all-in-one player flumoxe... | |
Linn Components Newmanoc,I love my Joule Electra but didn't have same experience with higher end C-J stuff. Send me an e-mail with your phone number and I can share some of my vast experience with you (hee, hee). |
