| Bogen CHA 75 amp. Bogen is a PA amp, and not a real good one (good being, say, a Crown)... not a high fidelity music reproducing amp... Since I've owned 2 sets of Spica TC-50's this amp sounds like a terrible match for the Spicas.. This kind of pa amp is good for s... | |
| Joan Baez - Do I just not get it? Diamonds and Rust is a really great album and recording. I have the Nautilus pressing and it is worth it. She does have that vibrato but it doesn't bother me that much on this offering. I have'nt heard the piece you're talking about so I can't say... | |
| For you Bay Area jazz fans yeah man, Dennis Chambers! saw him a couple of times with the Brecker Bros. in the early 90's.. alot of energy.ditto on Mike Stern. | |
| Recom for Preamp $400 for Forte Model4a/Spicas? I used a Forte 1a with my Spica TC-50's no problems and a pretty good match as the Forte has the bottom end force and control for the fairly lean TC-50's. I used for many years a Forte 2. The Forte 2 is pretty good for a 1K$ pre, since it has a ve... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona I need input on this I would second the last response, the 3's are great speakers and have a lot of potential for performance by upgrading or experimentation with pre/power amps cables etc. try a very high quality passive pre. | |
| Which Intergrated amp for starter?? I would recommend the Rega integrateds... great sound on a budget | |
| Acoustic felt? yeh I searched high and low and had to settle on the felt at the craft store(Michaels)... I hot-glued about 10 sheets together to get something somewhat thick but still not as thick as the 1/2 thick felt on some speakers (spicas). I used this arou... | |
| allison one or two I think the two's have 10" woof's, not 8". unsure of value.I had heard the two's about 25 years ago, very good neutral sound. | |
| Neutral powercords Ensemble power cord... VERY neutral | |
| Amp for rock/metal with high efficient speakers some PA systems by JBL contain 10" "mid" drivers... basically if the woofer is 18" or 15" then 10" sounds kinda small.. you want to be on-axis when listening. midrange in this respect is probably between 350 and 2200 Hz. Older two way designs of c... | |
| Amp for rock/metal with high efficient speakers I think Bigjoe said it best, I know what you're looking for, I have a pair of re-built/re-finished JBL-L200's circa 1973 and whereas with older 1960's jazz records, say Louis Armstrong with Duke Ellington, a tube amp is right, however with Robin T... | |
| Best Price on REga Jupiter Well, used you can expect to find them here for sale by members anywhere from $900 - $1200.I don't think any dealers sell them new via internet?I could be wrong. Many time dealers will only sell "if there is no dealer in your area"I have a Jupiter... | |
| Rush fans on the board ?? Back when I WAS a RUSH fan... it's been about 25 years... I don't now what it was exactly, they seemed so sophmoric and too humanistic for me. But I have to agree with the consenus on Farewell to Kings. I saw them on tour for that album, fall of 1... | |
