| Infinity cs 3009 @okeeteekid I have no argument that the Kappa's are nice speakers and can be incredible with the right amplification, but have to assume from your response that you don't like the sound of those paper mids that you haven't heard them. The paper on... | |
| Infinity cs 3009 @okeeteekid I’m sorry to disagree with you, I am very familiar with Kappa crossovers impedance curves and sound. I have sold them new and worked on them since. Peter @ PBN did the speakers that Erik posted, I’d take them any day over Kappa’s, they... | |
| Best balanced linestage/preamp for $4000 or less ??? SST Ambrosia 2000 can be had for $3000 to $3500 previously enjoyed. I encourage you to read ANY and EVERY review, you won't find anything but wonderful. Here is a few cut outs: The Ambrosia is a sensation at any price point. Here is a full ... | |
| Infinity cs 3009 You won't find exact replacement parts to build a pair of these. The pair that Erik recommended is excellent although there are a ton of lower cost alternatives. If you are interested, let me know and I'll be happy to provide you some designs. ... | |
| power Many auto amps are made for competition.... In the competition world, they have power classes. Those classes are normally based on how much total power you have in your vehicle based on a 4 ohm power ratings on your amplifier. However, many of ... | |
| Folded tweeters vs. dome? I have an original pair of ESS Heil drivers that I plan on building with. When I finally get one of those "round tuits" I'll report. I'm actually pulling a Fountek ribbon this week and replacing with a silk dome on a different speaker. | |
| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? I have already commented on my solid state gear. (I don't turn it off) I I now have all SS gear, but Tubes in the past, I did turn off after each use, I did try to give them 30 minutes to 2 hours warm up before use. | |
| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? No problem leaving Solid State gear on, yes, class A gets hot and can raise the electric bill a bit. I agree, it sounds better leaving it on. In fact, even though a cold amp sounds better after 45 minutes, I contend that it can take weeks on s... | |
| Why Aren't More Speaker Designers Building Augmented Widebanders? I don't remember it all perfectly, but I recall that the 3 inch or the 4 inch Tang Bands either one needed to be crossed around 200 on bottom and their maximum usable frequency to keep within very tight tolerances was about 5k.... again on either... | |

| Why Aren't More Speaker Designers Building Augmented Widebanders? Hi guys, I've been out of pocket for about a week, just saw this. @cellcbern up front, I need to say that I've never heard your speaker... But, I have played with this 3 inch Tang Band and it is very good indeed. I agree completely with Erik abou... | |
| Best sounding compact integrated amp < $2k? A lot of great choices here and honestly, they are all decent or better.... for my money, if you can get a Parasound new for $2000 or less, Its a great grab that depending on taste.... plus has a decent dac. But the Belles is just a slight tough... | |
| Well now... 400$ Mark Levinson amp new... Sorry, band stand is circuit boards.... I'm out of town, auto correct on phone | |
| Well now... 400$ Mark Levinson amp new... My understanding is that they copied the original board design and the only changes made was to make the bandstand on end to make this layout in the small case. As far as the Dartzeel, I looked very hard at these clones and almost pulled the trig... |
