| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. While discussing the merits of various after market shock absorbers on a Triumph motorcycle website, an owner of a parts business announced an opportunity to beat an upcoming price increase on shocks his company sold by urging interested bikers t... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp I would think some Klipsch dealer in Chicagoland (there must be somebody) would be glad to hook your amp up to a pair of Heresy IIIs for you. Pack that sucker up and get out there! | |
| Preamp help for First Watt J2/ZU Omens combo Except for late night low volume listening, I also noticed the Freya doesn’t have the oomph in passive and FET modes to get the attention of my SEP 12 watt per side amp, but the tube stage has plenty of gain. My previous preamp has a 12 db boost/c... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? By "near field" I mean something like the monitors I use for recording that are right there above the desk a few feet away…but otherwise, 6' does seem like it would work with Heresy speakers from any era and man, the immersion thing just sounds co... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? I do think the Heresy IIIs aren’t so great for near field listening, but then I also think anybody but an idiot knows that (I recommend smallish KEFs with concentric tweeters for near field as they’re cheap and sound better than most "pro" monitor... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. I think it's tawdry to have a Georgehifi specific thread. It's unfair to the rest of us, although it does allow me to use the word "tawdry." Also, are "doctors" Dave and Troy aware of the John Gorka song, "I'm From New Jersey?" A great song…trust ... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp I understand how tube amps distort (and I like it), and the amp isn’t working nearly as hard when driving the Heresy speakers so I can only assume there’s less distortion than previously (my Silverline Preludes are supposedly 91db but I think they... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. I think power cords are useful in that they do supply current from the wall to the gear (and my toaster, etc.), and any positive comments about gear from salesmen who carry the gear they comment about chews the fun out of the gum of any forum disc... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Otherwise, I think Linkwitz is pretty cool if only based on an interview I saw someplace…Youtube maybe. His speaker designs with the tube loading are interesting. | |
| EL34 equivalent tube types I had bad luck with JJKT77s in that they don't cut the sonic mustard compared to the KT88s (either surprisingly great sounding no longer available Sovteks or newer Gold Lions) currently in my SEP "Fire Bottle" HO. I might try the GL 77s, but...meh... | |
| Zu def 4 are they the best speaker made? So, to sum up, ZU Def 4s are the best speakers. Done. This fact does simplify things as I'm sometimes asked, "Garcia, what are the best speakers?" Now I just say, "ZU Def 4s." It's kind of a relief really…now I can move on to other issues I've bee... | |
| Which one is the best INTEGRATED!! The best integrated is, of course, the one I mentioned. | |
| Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp My new Heresys go REAL LOUD with my massive 12 watts per side SEP, and my REL subs had to be readjusted as they get less input from the amp due to the higher sensitivity speakers (a lot less it seems). I've readjusted. | |
| Speaker distance Let me get this straight…Goldenear Triton Ones, 9' apart, 9' to the listening chair? | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Reminds me of the Rolling Stone review of a great Neil Young album years ago (I think it was "After the Gold Rush")…they utterly panned it but later it was recognized as brilliant and sold a zillion copies. Somebody wrote in and thanked the review... |
