| Anyone Recently Change to Class D power? Safety???? You would think high current amps that run ultra hot would be far less safe than lower current amps that are cool. You can debate whether they sound good, but I don't think there is any criticism in terms of safety of Class Ds. What ... | |
| Ayre AX5 Twenty I have one here that was a customer trade. Anything I can answer for you? | |
| Canton Reference ? any comment? I find them brightish, very similar to B&W or Revel’s BE tweeters so amp pairing is important. Not quite as bright as Paradigm or Kef. I feel like B&W is probably the closest speaker to it from a tonal perspective. The soundstage to me ... | |
| Canton Reference ? any comment? I like these a lot. In Germany, Canton dominates the marketplace and is a huge brand. The Ref line is very, very good. So good I have been considering taking on the line. I would say they go toe to toe with B&W and Kef at the relative pric... | |
| Next step up from Acoustic Zen Crescendo II's good luck. PM me if you have any questions. I am happy to help. | |
| Next step up from Acoustic Zen Crescendo II's I looked up your amps and I thought they were 150w into 8ohm, 300w into 4ohms. If they are are 600w into 4 ohms, they will work for MBLs. Depending on the model, 300w into 4 ohms is minimum recommended power. That being said, the TAS review of ... | |
| 845/211 tube amplifiers with kef reference 5? Peaks in SPL are usually at lowest frequencies. I have ne problem driving less efficient speakers with a 45w 845 push-pull to reference levels because I never pushed the limit in terms of SPL because the speakers rolled off at 60hz. And to Ralph... | |
| Integrated Amp for Dynaudio Special 40 I have a friend who is running these with a Sugden and says the sound is to die for. He is listening near field. | |
| Next step up from Acoustic Zen Crescendo II's I am a HUGE fan of Acoustic Zen. Awesome speakers. I would second @soix question. Also, how big is your room? How far do you sit from the speakers? What type of music do you listen too? Aesthetcally, do you have any limitations or are you op... | |
| Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista 600 It is warm and sound a lot like a typical tube/SS hybrid. Very good amp. Oodles of power. I have a customer running the 800 with Triangles. More power than he needs but tonally, it is perfect. | |
| 845/211 tube amplifiers with kef reference 5? Those Kefs like power. I think you would love the sound but hate bass performance. I had run Art Audio Quartets which are 45w 845 monos for almost 18 months. I am the importer. They are Incredible amps but they would not handle bass at refere... | |
| sonus faber electa amator iii or magico A1 or any other suggestion The Sonus Fabers aren't as bright as the Magicos. Lovely speaker but when driven by a warmer tube amp like that VAC, I worry that it may drift warm to dark. If that is your preferred sound, cool. If not, be aware it is a risk. The Jadis mentio... | |
| sonus faber electa amator iii or magico A1 or any other suggestion My personal preference is the Magicos. I think that is a very well made speaker and will match well with your VAC Amps. The Sonus Faber is also a very well made and wonderful sounding speaker but I would be wary pairing it with a VAC amp. The... | |
| 845 Tube Refresh IF your amp can use KRs with lower filament current, Renaissance Audio in Ann Arbor has some older stock of the 845 that I know he would like to sell. They will be on budget for you and Renaissance is KRs North America service center. In fact, he... | |
| DAC/w Volume control + Power amp or DAC + Integrated? Avoid a cheap volume control. That really matters and a bad one will lead to underwhelming performance. I have a Schiit Freya + here and even in passive mode it sucks the life out of my music. Hugo 2 and LTA power amp vs Qutest with LTA integrat... |
