| Amp Options/Questions for Revel Studio v1 Bhodge The left/right gain balance isn't the issue.If the tweet/mid amp and the bass amp used don't have matching Input Sensitivity,then the speakers'tonal balance will change.One beong disproportionate to the other.The IS is usually stated in the... | |
| Amp Options/Questions for Revel Studio v1 I must ask again-are there provisions for gain matching.I ask this because if the input sensitivity is different,then the levels between the two different amps won't match.Aleph 0s?Jadis Defy 7 mk II+,Quicksilver Silver 90 or a little extra warmth... | |
| Goertz Zobel? Zoebels at the speaker terminals.You may need two pairs,if they aren't built-in to the cables.All Zoebels are not created equally. | |
| Match amps to speakers Lamm/Wilson would produce a good balance,Magicos with Lamm or VAC and Verity/Lamm or ARC-depending on cabling and sonic preference.The Magico and Veriry would probably prefer the lesser cu.ft area for bass reproduction.YMMV. | |

| Transfiguration:sonic balance/Axia shares Phoenix Larryi, With only 4 dealers,I can see why.Hammertone Audio (importer) has an interesting site.Xact also. | |

| Minimax preamp,inverted polarity question Reversing the RCA won't work.You would need to go inside the sub and swap +/-.With your set-up and the sub being self-powered,this nay be necessary. | |
| Tonearm choices for xv-1s mono Two arms that spark my interest:Tri-Planar and the Reed.The Reed comes in 3 lengths. | |
| Amp Options/Questions for Revel Studio v1 If $6500 isn't over-the-top (+/-) the Lamm M1.1s. | |
| Newbie - Which USED Amp & Preamp for under $2500 The Bryston 2,3,4b-st amps are very solidstate like.No worries with McCormack,Steve is great to deal with.Stratos are also excellent amps,differing in the warmth department.Must disagree with the AI-it burns thru tubes and they are slow-as-molasse... | |
