| High Current SS amps with input impedance = 200K Al,Thanks for responding. Th preamp in questions:Einstein the tube, 100ohmsAllnic L400, 250ohms (supposely flat with transformer coupled design)ARC Ref 3, 600ohms (1400ohms at 20Hz)I use interconnects 1 meter in length Nordost and Stealth.Many tha... | |
| High Current SS amps with input impedance = 200K I think there is more than just a calculated drop of output in the bass frequencies. 0.4db would be difficult to hear especially at 20Hz. My SS amps have input imped of 67K ohms. I have used a few tube preamp that has specified output imped of 100... | |
| Avalon Opus Ceramique vs B&W N802's Opus ceramique has very little bass. It is a speaker designed for small room that trap bass energy. Unless room is tiny, look for eidelon or higher. I previously owned ceramique and Diamond. I have also owned the 312 which IMHO is poor match with ... | |
| Okay, Classe CA 2200 or and Ayre V -5xe amps Tried the Classe 2200 with Avalon Diamond & OPus Cerimique. The pass x350.5 is better in most ways. Did not try the ayre. Lamm is good too | |
| Tools to measure in room response I tried the PAA3 and I currently use Fuzzmeasure. I find the sweep of PAA3 takes too long and very susceptable to ambient noise. Fuzzmeasure allows 1/3 octave to 1/48 octave smoothing with RT60 calcutalions at 1/3 octave. The sweep time and freq r... | |
| Best speaker used under $1000 for piano rec. It'd help if you can elaborate on which aspect of the piano do you enjoy the most. I am also a fellow piano music lover and different speakers produces certain aspect of the piano more than others. Transient attack, decay, different weighting of t... | |
| Stealth Dream SC I have tried KS emotions, Valhalla to name a few. The Dream is most satisfying so far. Significantly more resolving than the KS and more powerful bass than Valhalla. I have the same speaker as Argyro and also tried biwire with two runs. The midran... | |
| Suckout at 40 hertz...less pricey solutions? I had a similar problem and my room is 14x22x10 ft. I have a 40-50Hz suckout that can be 15db at its worst ( ctr of the room). I got it to 2-5db (depending on smoothing of freq curve). Many reviewers have a similar issue, just take a look at the m... | |
| Rockport Ankaa and Anquila Andy's products are first class. They measure well and sound great.I almost bought a pair of Rockport speakers. Only reason I did not was due to side firing woofers and I have a realatively narrow room. I was concerned about bass cancellations whe... | |
| EDT, R T30, R T20 My understanding is that they are different approximation of RT60. EDT is the extrapolated RT60 time using decay time -5 to - 15db. T20 is the extrapolated RT60 time using decay time -5 to - 25db. T30 is the extrapolated RT60 time using decay time... | |
| Speakers in 10-15K price range for Classical music I have previously owned Jmlab and Avalon speakers. I am quite happy with Verity speakers and I am primarily a classical music listener. Give it a listen. In my room, the rear firing woofers benefited greatly with some bass traps. I think they are ... | |
| Dedicated line help Just did it last month with 4 lines and a separate subpanel with Romex wires and Furutech ports. I live 4 blocks from powerlines (not sure good or bad) and berfore installation, the room had pseudo dedicated lines except for lightings Improvement ... | |
| Biwire with different cables? I am currently working on this one too. It would really depend on the speakers in questions and the partnering amps. I am using a pair of Luxman M800a as monoblocks and speakers are Verity Sarastros. Goal is to increase clarity at the bass. I have... | |
| To Avalon owners,,what should I buy? I used to own diamond. I d suggest stretch a little for vision or diamond. Indra is too limited in bass. It is a very little Isis with truncation at both ends. Time is more like a small Isis | |
