| How loud do you listen to your music? fascinating thread. fwiw, i use the rat shack digital spl meter and i am in disbelief at the amount of misinformation most audio nuts are exposed to. 75-85 db from my sweet spot is plenty loud. this is clean power from unstressed spkrs. when i pla... | |
| What is better than Bose but costs less? bose offer neither quality nor value. 35+ yrs ago they sold the infamous 901 model with multiple cone drivers. they sold quite well and created some name recognition. they sell stereo eqpmnt on the name recognition mainly from those initial spkrs.... | |
| Warmest speaker? hey bro', i am joking man. :]. it WAS a funny thread. | |
| Warmest speaker? that was one hilarious thread. i guess we will never really know whether warm is good or bad or even what it means. it appears dakota is mum on the issue like all great film directors. i hope dakota did not burn his fingers when he un crated his s... | |
| How do tube Watts compare to SS Watts? rascal, listen well to unsound advice. he has firsthand knowledge and based on my exp with jolida 60 wpc and$$$ he is right on the mark. a watt is a watt basically. thiels need POWER! an old tube amp is no more powerful than a new used tube amp. s... | |
| How do tube Watts compare to SS Watts? after rereading above posts... i'm going further on the limb. fwiw, i think you are gonna 'need' more than 60 wpc of tubes to get 'er done. honestly i think thiels work best with lotsa juice. ss gets it done of course but you want to delve into tu... | |
| How do tube Watts compare to SS Watts? good comments mostly. JOLIDA amps used and modified will get it done in that price. 86 db is low tho and even tho amp offers 4 ohm outputs, if your room is large and you like it loud you may need more watts. thiels do like power but i am sure tube... | |
| Tubes and forced air cooling ... interesting thread! i made a layered posterboard and cork spaced 'breathing' elevating shelf for my dvd which i set atop my sony ht receiver to keep heat off dvd. cut out cork corner squares 2"X 2" and glued them to corrugated poster board (3 leve... | |
| Need advice for full range speaker with bottom end might be too late on this but :) ... with that amp it sounds like a stretch for big 'lower' eff. spkrs. i'd look into some nice eff. monitors and a good powered sub. opens up a lot of options for great monitors and for $ a powered sub is a great w... | |
| Which amp? NAD. solid performers, great values. many great used models around. always a good start to hi end gear. sell the pre and get an int amp if you like. NAD offers many options for adding mono amps down the road and has a pretty good phono stage too. ... | |
| Speaker recommendations for Jolida 302b couldn't pass this up :) kestral 2's from meadowlark. i use them with a jolida 502b and a mk sub (12") in an even larger room but in a smaller room with less wpc and a smaller sub this is a killer spkr for just what you described. meadowlark is de... | |
| Adjusting tubes for bias and other tube hassles hey dherzog, fwiw, i switched to a int tube amp that was affordable, modified, and weighs under 50 lbs and it sounds pretty darn great to me. i adjust bias every few mos and it takes 10 minutes max. true they need warm up time but even ss amps sho... | |
| Hi-Fi Lingo and What we should be listening for great thread! lots of good points. fwiw i have acoustic instrments, grand piano etc., being played in the room bordering my listening area. to me, the only goal in my stereo rig AND ROOM is to as closely as possible recreate that sound quality com... | |
| Warmest speaker? that is the simple clarification i was looking for :) what are we meaning to convey when we speak of warmth. imo warmth is not a positive attribute in a spkr sound. if listeners want to add bass boost etc that's great, but i prefer a neutral spkr ... | |
| Warmest speaker? had to chime in here on drewfidelity comment on meadowlark and tubes. as an owner of meadowlark kestral 2's and tube amp i certainly do NOT hear any bass rise in the range associated with the vague term 'warmth'. they are smooth and musical but ha... |
