| Sophia II's and Pass Labs etc The XA 100.5's have no problem driving the Sophia 2's to high levels with great control and finesse.It is a very good combination.George | |
| Emerald Physics C2 or Usher BE-718 Mrjstark,Funny you should mention Omega Loudspeakers as that was the third speaker (Omega Revolutions using a single 8" Alnico driver in an Aperodic vent enclosure) in my now defunct three speaker rotation.I wouldn't necessarily say the Omega was ... | |
| Emerald Physics C2 or Usher BE-718 I have in the past and will continue to be going forward, a big proponent of the CS2's, but I recently sold my pair.Why you ask?Because I decided to only keep a single pair of speakers for my main system and that pair of speakers are my Vanderstee... | |
| What could I expect to hear from a Class A amp? As mentioned above, it is probably more about overall design and execution than choosing pure Class A vs. Class A/B.That being said, all my current amps are pure Class A:Atma-Sphere MA-1 mono blocks, Audio Mirror 45 SET mono blocks, and a couple o... | |
| BAT VK-60se vs Atma-Sphere M60 mkIII You might also consider Coincident for the M-60's.As for the MA-1's...I have a pair of Mk III's and absolutely love them. Mine are currently mated with Vandersteen 5A's and it is the best I have heard the 5A's sound. This combo produces all the de... | |
| Tube preamp with SS amps and Emerald Physics cs2? I have used Atma-Sphere MA-1's on the both the tweeters and woofers of the CS2's with very good results. I have also used a McAlister PP-150 on the tweeter. So tubes can definitely be used with the CS2's. The best combination I have tried to date ... | |
| Spectron Musician III - Can anyone comment on it? Dev,I haven't heard the Joule OTL amps outside of shows.George | |
| Spectron Musician III - Can anyone comment on it? Dev,I have never tried the newest Moscode amp.I sold my 401HR because I wanted to go back to pure tube amps (especially triode or OTL amps).I am pretty much done with my evaluation of the Spectron amp and will try to post some thoughts in the next... | |
| Vandersteen Model 7s? There is a little info that came from a recent visit by Richard Vandersteen to Audio Connection in NJ over at AudioCircle:http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/index.php?topic=59153.80George | |
| Spectron Musician III - Can anyone comment on it? Dev,I still have the 5A's, but sold the Moscode.I rotate between the 5A's, CS2's, and a pair of Omega Loudspeakers single driver speakers (they use an 8" Alnico Hemp driver) in my main system. Each loudspeaker has quite a different presentation an... | |
| Spectron Musician III - Can anyone comment on it? FWIW, I will be listening to the stock SE MK II this week in my system. I will be using it to drive the woofers of a pair of Emerald Physics CS2's. For the past few months, that task has been handled (very well I might add) by a pair of Atma-Spher... | |
| Atma-Sphere MA-1 amps Thanks Jtimothya.Somehow I missed your previous post.George | |
| Atma-Sphere MA-1 amps What 6SN7's and what location are people using in their MA-1's?My understanding is that v1A, v1B, V2, and V3 are the most important sockets in terms of altering the sound of the amp and that v4 must be a GTA or GTB tube.Thanks,George | |
| Emerald Physics CS-2, Opinions Please Tvad,If you are in the Boston area you can hear the CS2's at my place.George | |
| Emerald Physics CS-2, Opinions Please I have tried a few different amps (both tubes and solid state) on the CS2's and while they have sounded good to excellent, I will say that your amps better have a low noise floor, especially tube amps. While you don't need a lot of watts, at 100db... |
