| Cieling speakers right choice with my setup It is tough to get ceiling speakers to behave like normal speakers in a surround system. Wonderful as the final speakers in an Atmos system, but those are in addition to typical surrounds that are on the wall. If you are moving to Atmos it makes... | |
| Sopra 2 with bryston b135 cube integrated? It is a matter of taste but I would think that combo would be forward. If you like a brighter sound profile, that will be a killer combo. Alternatively, if your room is heavily damped, it would likely work out fine. If you are looking for a mor... | |
| Stereo amp options I will preface this by saying this would be pushing your budget but meets all your needs in one box. There is a new AVM CS 2.3 BT all-in-one unit coming out this month. It will have a built in phono, wifi for streaming, an excellent DAC and will... | |
| Speakers It depends. The Original Revel Salon speakers are pretty darn good. Technology has improved and there are better products on the market today but it’s not like you are listening too a poor product. The real question is something you should ask you... | |
| What tube preamp to go with McIntosh MC275? 45s make an amazing preamp. Check out the KR P-135. It is an awesome unit. Here is a review from positive feedback. https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/hardware-reviews/kr-audio-p-135-preamplifier/ I am a KR Dealer. If you are in North A... | |
| Looking for a phono preamp that has volume control Not inexpensive but the Art Audio Vinyl One can have a remote volume pot added for $250. I am the importer. If we have one in stock in the UK, it would be $4750 with the volume control and ships in about three weeks. | |
| 30w class A amp for Joseph Audio perspective 2? Just saw your other thread. Assuming some consistency between the two, check this amp out. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9j5a1-art-audio-adagio-stereo-set-amp-27w-tube Power rating is about right for you and this is a truly incredible ... | |
| Speakers suggestion help Among those three you are looking at, I would probably get the Focal Utopias. I have listened to the B&Ws driven by a PrimaLuna and they are not the best match and I personally have never been impressed by the Electras. The Kantas are a bett... | |
| Best amp for Wilson Sabrina Check out the AVM Ovation A 8.3 integrated. It has enough power to drive the Wilsons, has a wonderful feature set and a neutral to slightly warm sound profile that will compliment them beautifully. Full disclosure, I am an AVM dealer but that is... | |
| Wilson Alexia 2 They are regularly shown at show with VTLs and the dealer in NYC shows them almost exclusively with VTLs. It is a brilliant match.Check out AVM. Their Ovation 8.3s have a tube input stage with a high power SS output stage and have an amazing dep... | |
| What tube pre-amps pair well with Pass amps? KR is a Czech company which helps keep the prices down a bit compared to Germany. They are best knows as a premium manufacturer of tubes and their Kronzilla power amps. I sell a lot of their tubes. Quality is extremely high though as odd as it s... | |
| What tube pre-amps pair well with Pass amps? Check out the KR P-135. Has XLR ins and outs. Review at positive feedback is glowing. Full disclosure I am a KR dealer but I think it would be a cool match. | |
| Amp to drive Verdant Nightshade 1 The OP and I have been e-mailing directly which is why I hadn't posted previously. I am suggesting AVM strictly because of the sound profile. It is smoother and a bit warmer than Musical Fidelity or Chord which are the other brands I carry. The... | |
| Looking for recommendations on Tube AMPS to drive Monitor Audio Platinum Speakers I would agree with the above that a 6550/KTXX tube would do well with your speakers. I had a pair of VTL MB-185s that I think would do well with those speakers. You should also look at Rogue as they make fine amps. I personally own a Hydra whic... | |
| Preamp under $2,000. I am an MF Dealer. The older M6 is a nice unit. It was replaced with an M6s Pre that retails for $1890 so $1500 for an older unit is not a particularly good deal. It is detailed and relatively neutral. Like most MF products, it is made in Taiw... |
