| Solid State Power Amps That Sound Most Like Tubes? Hi David, haven't seen you around these parts in a while! | |
| Think I want a tube system? Daveyf, The reference logically points out how important the amp(s) to speaker(s) interface is. I don't understand how you could make such an assumption. I have heard many top tube pres. | |
| Thiel CS 5i, 7.2. and others I've heard the CS5's with Adcom, Krell and Levinson. I didn't care much at all for the the Adcoms, was somehat impressed with the Levinsons, and never heard anything sound quite so good (before) as with the Krells. I have heard the Dunlavy's sound... | |
| Think I want a tube system? Daveyf, you might want to try a flea powered SET on some Apogee Full Range's and then get back to me. | |
| Thiel CS 5i, 7.2. and others Larry, my "significant other" gives me carte blanche on such matters, except of course for expense:-). I've heard the CS5's often, and think they are amongst the best I've ever heard. Unfortunately the amplifier requirements scare me. I am thinkin... | |
| Thiel CS 5i, 7.2. and others Larry, all excellent points! I've always thought that Jim's best designs were his sealed boxed ones. I suspect his sealed boxed speakers were better able to maintain the time and phase coherence that were at the very least part of Thiel's hallmarks. | |
| Tubes in the Dark? "snicker, snicker" | |
| Think I want a tube system? Daveyf, I couldn't disagree with you more. | |
| PASS LABS X250 Question Al, thanks again. | |
| Think I want a tube system? I think your speaker choice might be the determining factor as to whether or not a tube amp is the way to go. | |
| Why do the new 2009 Beatles CDs sound so good? Mapman, I would suggest that the re-release of the Beatles material doesn't "fly in the face of the mantra often heard that all newer loudness wars CDs are bad recordings...", it further confirms it. Remember that even though these re-issues may h... | |
| PASS LABS X250 Question I hope you don't mind me piggybacking a question; What is the input sensitivity for the X250 for full out-put, balanced and single-ended? | |
| Can you get good sound bridging 2 Classe CA-200s Though at first glance it might seem counter-intuitive, but, for a load like the Thiels you might be better off with a bigger Classe' than two bridged smaller ones. | |
| Dunlavy SCIV - What amp are you using? Pubul57, On the surface your point seems well taken. Still I can't over emphasize what a positive (with an already positive start) change it was going from 2 X 200 Watts per channel to 4 X 200 Watts per channel. If I recall correctly John Dunlavy ... | |
| Conrad Johnson, Krell, Creek integrated amp?? Sunnyjim, please take this with a grain of salt as I haven't heard your speakers. Though they do look worthy of an audition. My list is getting longer:-).I know you were looking for advice on an integrated amp, but please forgive me if I veer in a... |
