| REL subwoofer using only red cable not yellow per REL technical dept I sum the 2 positive leads from each of my 2 RELs together in a pair of AQ banana plugs, and the negative leads into 2 other bananas and stick ’em in the power amp. The RELs are used in mono with this configuration. The main speakers are spades in... | |
| Goldmund, not much inside, but ultra expensive. The innards of most modern "transistor and circuit board" items always bore me, but I own 2 "point to point" hand soldered single ended tube amps, one from Burriss (18 watt guitar amp, a tube rectified single ended little gem with reverb) and a De... | |
| Axe to grind know it alls I have never ground an axe, but I did grind a splitting maul once as it had developed some pesky deformities...worked better after grinding. | |
| Klipsch Heresy 4? I'm not sure how much of the 12wpc (up to 17wpc depending on power tubes) Dennis Had Firebottle HO SEP is using to drive the Heresy IIIs, but there's a lot of headroom left in the thing...Since switching to Heresy IIIs a few years ago I've noted y... | |
| Acoustic Suspension sound in 2020? Magicos...just read an interview with Alon Wolf where he explains why he likes sealed speakers...like my Heresy IIIs (although he didn't mention those). | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV Low frequencies might rattle your door but highs are tossed out from horn speakers to the extent that reflection is less of an issue. Having read a long article about what Alon Wolf thinks about sealed vs. non sealed speakers I feel better about m... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! The technological backflips and design hurdles inherent in making Class D viable seem challenging to every designer who bothers with it, and clearly some are more successful than others. I think cheap Ice modules in a box or whatever Atmasphere Ra... | |
| Klipsch Heresy 4? I'll likely be replacing my IIIs later this year just to see what's what, as I did hear some very impressive new Cornballs (uh...Cornwalls...sorry) and Fortes recently. My IIIs are fabulous and if the IVs are fabulouser I'll notice that immediatel... | |
| High Sensitivity Speakers I use a couple of powered subs and a pair of Klipsch Heresy IIIs to get some powerful musical dynamics into the room...from a 12wpc tube amp. | |
| Hunt for new floor standers There are so many great floorstanders out there and it never stops or even pauses, and I’ve owned my share...Vandys, KEFs, Viennas, Silverlines, etc., and for decades enjoyed them all with amps up to 250wpc...I became curious about Klipsch Heresy ... | |
| It looks like a debate to me. It should be "tubey or not tubey." | |
| Just curious — Crown xls 5202 amplifier I do live sound mixing/producing for filthy lucre, and although I have pro amps around I would never use them for my hifi...the high power of pro stuff gives you the headroom needed for uncompressed sound and live systems rarely use all of it...po... | |
| Vacuum tube ! And Warnings I've had great luck from Ebay tube sellers, including one guy in the next town who delivered the tubes himself to my mailbox...twice... | |
| Schiit Freya S or Freya +? A preamp only needs to create a small line level signal so although I have a preamp with dual large toroidal transformers, it seems the Freya betters that one if only due to the tubes (and likely hipper design). It was Atmasphere Ralph who got me ... | |
| It looks like a debate to me. Oldguide...you can report all you want but keep in mind there's a tradition of free speech in some places, and to some a troll is anybody who doesn't agree with their particular point of view. Are you reporting anyone who seems passionate about so... |
