| Best speakers in the 50-60k range ? I must second larryi’s recommendation of the Charney Audio Horns. I have a pair and have the privilege of living close enough to go to Charney and listen to his various creations. His most expensive horn, the Concerto, all decked out with AER lev... | |
| What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price? Charney Audio Concerto with AER drivers finished in a black walnut veneer. Hands down! | |
| 300B Warmup versus other tube or SS amps? I let my ANK interstage monos warm up for about 30-45 mins usually while preparing and enjoying dinner. There is some slight improvement after that but not much. | |
| Who makes great active preamps ? Tube or solid state or hybrid. Audio Note and Radu Tarta! | |
| What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000 For less than 9k you can have a new pair of Charney Audio Companion with Voxativ AF 2.6 drivers. Your choice of cosmetic design with the wood used and paint colors. Very engaging sound with deep bass that envelops the listener and draws you deep i... | |
| Speaker help Hop a flight to Newark Liberty in NJ via Chicago O'Hare (NY Shuttle with multiple flights during the day) and arrange with Brian of Charney Audio to pick you up and demo his speakers. Wonderful engaging sound that envelops the listener and draws y... | |
| Recommendations on stuff to look at for upgrading a 300B SET amp +1 on the ANK Interstage Monos! Also agree with looking for a higher efficient speaker to match a lower watt 300b. Check these horns out:http://charneyaudio.com/ | |
| Can we start a thread for folks who run a SET amp with a subwoofer or two? Years ago I had a pair of Omega Alnico 8 XRS with a pair of Omega Deep hemp subs. My amp was a highly modified 8w 300b Antique Sound Labs AQ1005 and ANK M3 preamp. I wired the subs using a second pair of speaker cables for the amp to the speaker i... | |
| If you want to get the best of your transport, try this. Used a Svelt shelf with great results under my 47 Labs Flatfish now using one under my Sparkler S503 player with the same positive improvements.chris | |
| Higher Efficiency Speakers I got the sensitivity number from the Charney website...I think it has something to with the horn design. There is very little resistance from back waves in the chamber and the tractrix design of the horn. Just a guess, Charney could better explai... | |
| Higher Efficiency Speakers Another shout out for Charney Audio! I have a pair of Maestro's with the Omega RS7 driver ($5,400) in my 11x15x8 room. Sensitivity is 100db so low powered SET amps are the way to go. I have ANK Interstage 8w300b amps and can't get enough of what t... | |
| Speakers for a small room My room is 11x15x8 and I have a pair of Charney Audio Maestro Companion with Omega RS7 Drivers. Beautiful engaging sound that lacks for nothing. If your in the NJ,NY,CT, PA region I highly recommend taking an evening of weekend day to stop by Char... | |
| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) Have had a lot of great speakers over the years from JBL (4312,4311b) Snell (K2, A3i, C4,C5) Omega (Compact Hemp, Alnico 6 Monitor, Alnico XRS 8, all paired with Deep Hemp Subs) Shelby and Kroll monitors and subs, and various project OB speakers. ... | |
| Which Amp to complete my system? For solid state look into the Digital Amplifier Company I have had STM on my horns and if I didn't found the deal on my mono 300b's I would still have it. Very clean, clear, and smooth with 0 digital etch. Contact Tommy he will set you up. https:/... | |
