| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! ModWright KWA 150SE has been the best for detail that I have heard though have changed speakers, moved to lowered power options since owning one, and have not been in search of even better detail. Definitely no harsh edge to accompany the resolut... | |
| Best speaker brands for transient response Daedalus Audio speakers have been the best fit for me and best overall that I have heard. I would be very tempted by the currently available used Apollos if I didn't already have a set of Ulysses. Very natural sound, non fatiguing. Bass is fas... | |
| Tube amps under $7500 @hickamore Other than silver color, Circle Labs M200 could tick all the boxes if you are considering high current SS route. It is a great looking amp though. I believe at the price of the one currently available used, it would be difficult to be... | |
| Tube amps under $7500 "What is not feasible about Aric gear?" Two-chassis, single end input only. @hickamore Lots of posts on this thread, not sure if you missed response directly from Aric. He offers balanced inputs and even offered to do a mimic of a silver met... | |
| Tube amps under $7500 Wish I knew the trick for highlighting text @hickamore Copy the text, use " button, paste text. Do you have a benchmark A-A/B amp/s for bass? What amp combination are you using now? What is not feasible about Aric gear? | |
| Tube amps under $7500 I suppose it is a given that no tube amp in my price range can match its SS equivalent on bass I think that would only be true if your preference is strictly solid state for bass. I had a tube amp that sounded great, but with steroetypical bas... | |
| Tube amps under $7500 @hickamore I had a pair of Legacy Focus paired with a ModWright amp. Always smooth, natural, transparent, detailed, excellent bass control. I had previously sold all my tube gear. As good as the ModWright was I wanted some of that tube w... | |

| 18 inch subwoofer vs multiple 12 inch subwoofers with bookshelf speakers @thxbest , I would ask Brian at Rythmik. He was very helpful to me not just with his product line, but also other principles and how to meet my integration and sound quality goals. He is very straightforward and not trying to just sell you somet... | |
| Integrated Question OP, I’ve had numerous ModWrights except yours and bass was stellar. Probably will end back up with a ModWright amp again. Even with subs, it sounds like to me you want more than your speakers can give. Just my opinion from trying to hope the best ... | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? My current preference is tube amps. In my price range if I bought new, I suspect my best value would be in a Chinese amp based on previous experience and what I see out there. The manufacturers I would want to choose from would be less than the U.... | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium @kokakolia may depend what you value, but the Ruark wouldn't contend overall with KEF 107's for me. I think you're right that KEF is not the right brand example of not snobbery though I believe they still offer some current value contenders base... | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium I think more of brand confidence than snob appeal. Even if buying entry level, one hopes that a brand that makes lauded high end speakers provides the best quality components top to bottom of their offerings. This is no always the case. Yes, roo... | |
| Subwoofer So many variables as with all audio questions. I have enjoyed many single subs, but I was not happy for 2 channel until I got a Rythmik sub. Best sub I have heard in all regards. Wish I had believed what I read about them years ago. I’d love to he... | |
| Demise of bass quality in Main speakers OP I think I agree with some of your points, but also feel lost on what you're trying to get to reading your first and last post. Marketing wise someone could probably write a 100 page dissertation, but I think bass performance boils down to cabi... |
