| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Since you've got experience with so many different, what is your opinion of the K-horns vs. La Scala or Belle. Is there a big difference between all of them?I understand that the K-horns are true borner horns, but I don't really have that option i... | |
| Which is the best SET integrated amp under $1500? I agree with Rhing,The A205A is that rare beauty that defies both price and power rating. In many ways, on sheer performance alone, I would choose it over $2k-3k amps I've heard. It may look like a Datsun B210, but sounds like an Austin Martin.It ... | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? I do have a hard time parting with 2000-3000 dollars for components but I may just have to bite the bullet. I am just an average guy who loves classic rock, hard rock, and metal. No need to spend more than that, probably near the lower end of that... | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Lordy Allsmiles, you've got the Klipsch bug bad!22 speakers and you've never really tried any different electronics? The world is about to split open for you.You haven't indicated your price range for components, so it is hard to make suggestions.... | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Next up! Trying some different electronics from your Carver gear. I owned an all Carver system(M1.5T, C-3 preamp(?),TX-10 or 11 tuner, cassete, etc.) in college during the 80's w/ Klipsch Forte's. System kicked ass for late-night ear blistering he... | |
| Bad experience with ZYX AIRY 3 Cello,Unfortunately, I never got around to adding the extra mass to the headshell before I sold off the Fuji FS. Work kicked into extra high gear leaving no time at all for audio the last 6+ months. And my current tonearm, although superb sounding... | |
| Lenco 75 versus Garrard 301? Thanks Jlin,The revised thread is good enough. I had read the original up to somewhere around May this year, but did not remember Albert's posts.I need to free up some cash for a new(er) car and was thinking now's the time to take on the Lenco pro... | |
| Lenco 75 versus Garrard 301? Could someone please point me to Albert's latest comments about his Lenco versus Walker tables?I'd like to read those posts.Thanks. | |
| Recommend Speakers For Yamamoto Congrats Ghanson,The Yam is a superb amp. As sson as everything is fully broken in, I bet you will begin to hear subtle nuances in recordings that you'd never known existed. There really is no equivelent to well executed SET and single-drivers, it... | |
| Tube Friendly Speakers - Down to 30Hz - $3000? If you are considering Reynaud, then definetly look into Audiomat's integrateds. Bob Neil, reviewer of the Solfege Reference, used Audiomat's during his series of reivewes covering the Reynaud line.Prelude Reference reviewSolfege Reference reviewT... | |
| Tube Friendly Speakers - Down to 30Hz - $3000? Good suggestion Soliver,The 90dB/4 ohm speakers that I mentioned working extremely well with the Almarro A318 "A" & "B" were Jean Marie Reynaud Twins mkII monitors. Their floorstadning models are equally easy to drive and provide greater low f... | |
| Tube Friendly Speakers - Down to 30Hz - $3000? Reagarding amps Tvad,I heartily suggest you choose the Almarro A318B over the A318A. I've owned both and there is no competition between the two. The "A" has noticeably rooled off highs in comparison and lacks the resulting clarity and air of the ... | |
| Recommend Speakers For Yamamoto Ghanson,I totally agree with your sentiment that we have to sometimes take chances on component purchases. But, hopefully those "chances" are made an exducated or experienced reference.In Rocky's case, he has never heard a SET amp or high effficie... | |
| Recommend Speakers For Yamamoto Rocky,There are plenty of high efficiency owners in the Bay Area. I suggest you post a request to listen to someone's system in Audio Asylum's High Efficiency forum or SET forum. Just explain post that you are interested in making the jump to SET/... | |
| Recommend Speakers For Yamamoto Rocky,I think we've all missed an important question - have you ever listened to a true high-efficiency system(>97dB)? And have you ever heard the Yamamoto or any other sub-2 watt amplifer?If not, please be sure to find some system owners in yo... |
