| Outlaw 1050 or Kenwood 6070? Help You answered it yourself: Quality vs quantity. The outlaw has more than enough features to keep you happy. What about another Denon if you like it so much? | |
| Feedback/Suggestions on some of my choices I like your taste in equipment. The sony may be a good piece, however it won't fit in with what you are buying. Don't do it. Use the extra money for a bigger tv. | |
| B&W N805's hump in the upper bass. What to expect? Many manufacturers of monitors/smaller speakers engineer a slight "hump" in the upper bass. They do this trying to compensate for a lack of the lower frequencies that only a 10, 15 or 18" woofer can produce. It shouldn't be noticable as long as yo... | |
| Tubes with Thiel CS-3.6's? has anyone had success? Be careful about resistance. The 3.6 tend to drop well below 4 ohms and are not too efficient. You should have a tube amp with 2 ohm taps and a fair amount of power. You could kill a 50 watt tube amp with 4 ohm taps if you listen long/hard/loud. | |
| to pre or not to pre....that is the question.... I agree with Karls. My only question is: do you need better volume control? | |
| searching a new pair of speakers Coincident speakers have treated me much better than most listed here. If you can, check out conquests or victorys. | |
| What's between your AA"S I got rid of My CAL Alpha and theta for an AA3.0. Stick with what you have. For the money it can't be beat. The jitter controls were usually sold with the lower model AAs (I think). | |
| CAL Delta/Alpha vs Music Hall CD25: A comparison Stock CAL tubes-garbage! My alpha came with cheap chinese tubes, try upgrading to anything respectable and you will instantly notice a change. | |
| Unsettled and considering changing stuff Roll some tubes!!!!!!!!! You can totally change the personality of your amp by new output tubes. If you want to keep it subtle, change some of the gain/pre tubes. | |
| My question is about bi or triamping. Have you thought of a nice 2 way crossover and a sub crossover? This may improve your options and keep the adcom only running the non-directional stuff. I would much rather hear the tubes for the whole vocal range and just let the adcom do what it... | |
| Newbie que on "recommended amplifier" rating I agree. You can never have too much "clean" power. 1 watt of distortion will do more damage than 200 clean watts. 1 thing you haven't looked at: Even though your speakers are 6 ohm which would increase the amp power (except with tube gear) to pro... | |
| best amplifier to drive my Quad 988 speakers I was over a friend's house and couldn't believe what he did: Got rid of 100 watt tube EAR amps for a 200 watt parasound. It sounded amazing! The parasound was a better match than the EARs. | |
| Which 12AX7 Tube? For the price I love svetlanas. Golden Dragons are nice too for new tubes. | |
| Amp hums when on same circuit as line conditioner Some conditioners can't work properly unless on a grounded 3 prong outlet. I know that I had a monster conditioner that stayed in protection mode but my adcom works fine. Contact furman. You may have to get a different conditioner. By the way, for... | |
| Coincident Partial Eclipse vs Totem Forest You also need to compare efficiency, size, weight, placement. The coincidents are amazingly efficient with great imaging, and an unbelievable range. How many watts are you using/need? The only downfall of owning the coincidents is that they will r... |
