| Audiophile TT article in Forbes Speaking as a longtime CPA (though not a tax guru), I believe he could easily justify depreciating this (and other) component purchases used in his "trade or business", as an offset to the income he receives from Stereophile and the Tracking Angle. | |
| Do you ...Center Channel? For video, a quality center channel speaker really improves dynamics & realism vs. the crappy TV speakers, IMO. Plus, if you use timbre-matched L, C and R, you are further ahead of the game. I just hung mine on the wall over the TV, w/supplied... | |
| xover settings for Avantgarde owners - survey. My Duo Omegas' SUB225s are set 1/2 click past noon (i.e., just over 140 Hz). You may find that in practice (with rolloff), that the actual xover point is a bit above the indicated setting. | |
| Best Tube Amp under 10K? I second Sorlowski - I picked up a pair of Lamm ML2s for just over $10K last year...best electronic component I've ever heard. | |
| Insanely Expensive....and Worth Every Penny two items - my Lamm ML2s and Avantgarde Duo Omegas. | |
| Cary SLP98 Tube Question Never had a sibilance problem (that wasn't on the recording) with my '98 (special edition w/oil caps & direct coupling)...but I never even unpacked the junky Chinese stock tubes. Get some good NOS 6SN7s, at least in the front 2 positions, and ... | |
| Lamm ML2 - ML2.1 I have the ML2s; believe that the amps are virtually identical, though the 2.1 has solid metal (brass?) binding posts while the ML2 makes do with the ubiquitous red/black plastic-covered ones. May be some minor circuit/component parts differences ... | |
| Avantgarde horn help You're better off just ordering a new set of horns in the color you like - pretty simple to swap 'em out - took me about an hour for My Duos. | |
| Warmest speaker? Find an old pair of Snell Type B. Very big-hearted and plenty of warmth (in fact, they can be too much of a good thing in some rooms). | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Whart, on my SUB225, 140 Hz is at high noon. | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde What Audiokinesis said!!! | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde 2 comments on the "shortcomings" sometimes attributed to the Avantgardes - 1) the current Omega versions are significantly smoother, less glary, yet simultaneously have more air, detail and power delivery in the lower mids/upper bass (having one's... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde I'm a longtime Avantgarde Duo owner (now upgraded to 108dB Duo Omegas) and can assure you that 50WPC is a great deal more than enough (my 18 watt Lamms are more than sufficient, power-wise, and I used to run 8WPC amps without power issues). The sp... | |
| Tubes and Rock and Roll, Can they go together? And how. Like Oneobgyn, my Lamm ML2s rock the house on 18 watts...just need the proper speakers, in my case Avantgarde Duo Omegas...no worries here when I want to crank the White Stripes, Bad Brains, Minutemen, whatever. | |
| Which one? Theta Intrepid 100w/chx5 vs Cary5 200w/ Neither one - get the Butler Audio TDB-5150 and revel in the glory of TUBES (driver stage). |
