| Klipsch Cornwall IV Oh, it's always in use in one of my other systems, continually since 1999! :) Like yours, it is absolute dead quiet, too, even with headphones. Great little amp. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Thanks. That's a pretty big space, roughly similar to mine. I found my Moth S2A3 to sound wonderful at low volume--the best of any of my amps--but it started to soften on the bottom and strain on top before I felt the room pressurize. Didn't clip,... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Encouraging report. What are your room dimensions? Are you using a subwoofer? | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV @dbarger , thanks for the details. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Thanks, dbarger. Very interesting.You have some nice amps! How would you compare those big Luxman separates to the LM-845 Premium? The latter has been on my radar for a while, though my reduction in racks from 4 to 3 to accommodate the girth of th... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Uh, I do get it. This volume control was an AVC passive. My comment about position on the volume control was figurative, intending simply to illustrate distortion well before max wattage. Apologies for the unclear communication. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV SET can use about 20-25% before distortion is a problem Yes, the 2A3 amp was straining audibly by halfway on the volume control. Pity. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV Revisiting some of my amps with the CW4, after further tweaking speaker positioning and placing them on some Herbie’s gliders, I have to agree with @ozzy62 : high-quality lower wattage can drive them beautifully. The 18w Luxman integrated is sound... | |
| Jadis DA88S mkii integrated @jjss49 jadis in its heyday was well known to run power tubes very hard, seems like that is still the case That's good to know, and would help explain why hsw went through KT150s in six months. | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk That's how I feel about my Manley Stingray II. I like the idea of triode but UL just sounds better, more balanced. Same was true of the VAC 300.1a I used to have. | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk Oz, do you prefer it in Triode or Ultralinear on your Cornwalls? | |
| Jadis DA88S mkii integrated From all indications Jadis has upped its game, which was already strong, with these recent KT150 amps. I’m wondering how the newer KT120 amps like the DA88S compare to them. My sense, gleaned merely from reading around, is that the mids are still ... | |
| 1973 We even made a disco ball out of a Styrofoam sphere and pieces of a broken mirror glued all over it, suspended from a giant rubberband, and illuminated by three flashlights. Mid-teen stoner ingenuity! Cranking out a Pioneer SX828, stacked Advents,... | |
| Jadis DA88S mkii integrated Thanks for the comments, guys.@hsw ,the I50 is on my radar, too. Are you in the US? Bluebird doesn’t have the KT150 integrateds listed on its site, which made me wonder whether they are available here.If I may ask, how are the noise floor and treb... | |
| Manley Steelhead Owners-- Line Stage Input Good Enough to Use as Preamp? When I owned a Steelhead, some 6 or 7 years ago, I always preferred it as a phonostage into a separate linestage. I used it with a Mac C2300, Bent Audio Tap-X AVC, VAC Phi Beta. |
