| What does one purchase after owning horns? JohnK, perhaps you should read the posts preceding mine to see where that 120 dB was referenced from. Furthermore, perhaps you should read the title of this thread before lashing out. While your at it, perhaps we can implore you yet again to come ... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Says the guy who doesn't list his own system. The zealots always make it personal. I'll bend this time, at 89 dB 1/W/m with a 4 Ohm nominal/minimum impedance, the 3.5's fed 500 Watts per channel into 4 Ohms, from a distance of just over 9', placed... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Atmasphere, Even if my system could play cleanly at 120 dB(it can't), unless I got a much bigger listening space, I doubt that I would want to. There's a sense of scale that I seek within the confines of my listening room. I'll grant you horns can... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? There is little reason to acknowledge it. That horns can produce sounds that can fill a stadium better than typical domes is irrelevant for most of us. Those volume levels aren't needed and for the sake of our hearing not desirable. Even without t... | |
| Bryston vs. McCormack with the Modwright 9.0 FWIW, I find the Bryston's a bit grainer but less foward than the McCormacks. | |
| What amp next for Vandersteens? Vandersteen 2's and McCormack DNA 1's make for perhaps the best overall value in high end audio. Before spending more, I strongly suggest you consider the McCormack's with your Vandy 2's. | |
| What amp next for Vandersteens? A bigger YBA amp? | |
| Have you become too jaded with this hobby??? I think I still have perspective,:-). I get a real kick from overachieving value champion systems. On the other hand, I get disgusted by the sound in movie theatres. | |
| Vote for best US made solid state amp I miss Carl_eber. | |
| Vandersteen 5A Speakers Larry, I too prefer a near field listening position. I currently sit a little over 9' from my speakers, though if the room allowed I would sit perhaps as much as another foot away. I was just concerned that some might take the "...I can put my cha... | |
| Vandersteen 5A Speakers Larry, you should know as well as anybody, that speakers like the Vandy's will need a minimum of space between the listener and the speakers for proper driver integration. | |
| Thiel 2.4 with NAD integrateds As a stop gap measure they'll be Ok, but if you want your Thiels to perform to their potential, get a proper amp. | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Hardly! I've found some of the most expensive horn systems to be amongst the worst offenders. Space might require horns, but thankfully most people here don't need to fill an auditorium or a stadium. | |
| Does a Class D amp match well with Thiel Speakers? Wilson was making Wamms way before the Watts. | |
| Pass X vs XA amps sound quality in class A range IMHO, if you think you might be pushing it from time to time for parties, etc., I wonder if buying the more powerful Class AB amp might be better. There's probably less chance of frying a tweeter with the more powerful amp, especially if guests ge... |
