| Krell S-300i vs 2250e or 302e??? or others? I would look at an Ayre AX-7. Its in a completely different league than your Krell, and its not too expensive. | |
| Proac 3.8 / amp match You'll need some decent power for the 3.8's. I would use your VTL with a pair of Quicksilver V-4's if you can find a pair. ARC is OK too. I had a VT-100 on my 2.5's. Depending on room size and how loud you listen, it may not be quite enough. But i... | |
| Proac 3.8 / amp match What preamp do you have? | |
| import duty sending used gear from Canada to USA You have to be really careful. I forget what the rules are because its been so long since I've bought or sold anything from Canada. But the reason I stopped in the first place was due to all this confusion with duty fees. Not only that, people try... | |
| Something wrong with my 2.7QRs I don't know if this applies to the 2.7's, but Magnepan offers resistors that you install in the binding posts. They do this to roll off the high in systems where they sound to bright. Check the speaker and if you see the resistors, remove them. | |
| Modern integrated vs. vintage...what do I get? Check out a BAT 300 integrated. You will probably find that it's a big upgrade from what you have now. Build quality is as good as it gets. | |
| Windows 7 or 8 64 bit for music only If you go with 8.1, download and install a free program called Classic Shell. It puts a start button on desktop view. With that in place, you will be able to use OS. | |
| Debating between Hybrid and Tube Integrated Amp "I think you may be confused about this. The tubes are in the preamp, and the solid state amplifier output is biased to operate in Class A for the first 10 watts, then going into Class AB as more power is required."That definitely makes more sense... | |
| Loudspeaker dispersion- Both speakers work together to place images in space, between the speakers. Vertically, each speaker works by itself. | |
| Rowland service I would call a Rowland dealer and see if they would be willing to help you get in touch with them. | |
| Debating between Hybrid and Tube Integrated Amp "Scenario #2 - Vincent SV-237 (hybrid)I love the idea of keeping everything in one device. I also love the idea that the first 10 watts are all tube before the solid state takes over."I wouldn't even consider buying an amp like that without a demo... | |
| Sonograph SA-250 Yes. Absolutely. | |
| Adcom GFA 5500 v B&K ST 1400 II v Rotel 990 I have to agree. Looking at the preamp is a much better idea. I also agree that a passive like the GFP-750 is an excellent low cost solution. If you can't get a really good active line stage, I say don't get one at all.The only thing I would add i... | |
| Would appreciate feedback on logic "With that out of the way, I wasn't implying op's question as stupid but wondering if he's trying to bait someone with it."I believe you but your post kind of looks that way. To me, the OP seems genuine. | |
| Sonograph SA-250 If they are Hex (Allen) type screws, they come in both metric and SAE. Also, look at them very closely. Use a magnifying glass if you have to. On screws that small, its very easy to mistake hex for torx. |
