| Recommended Speaker for Triode Amp Thanks David, this is a good basis to go by. I will check out your recommendations.One thing to note is that I'm not using a SET amp, nor is there a 300B involved. I'm having built a one-of-a-kind triode integrated using original Dynaco A470 trans... | |
| Recommended Speaker for Triode Amp I'm finally back (from NYC), and thanks for the additional information.I checked out the Zu line and they look like a good match for my room's setup. Perhaps the Essence would be a winner, so does anyone have experience with that speaker?The Parti... | |
| Recommended Speaker for Triode Amp Looks like I'll be leaving tomorrow to take care of family stuff, so I thought I'd add this. I've checked out the designs of KCS, Audiokinesis, Audio Note, Altec 19, and Tannoy speakers, plus others Im a little hazy about. These are all beautiful... | |
| Recommended Speaker for Triode Amp Thanks Guys.A family emergency just came up and I'll be out of town. Please continue if you like without me. I'll then have good info when I get back to review. | |
| Recommended Speaker for Triode Amp Sorry, but I've never been a fan of Klipsch. Another thing I can't explain logically. It may be worth giving them another try because when I heard them last might have been under unfair conditions (wrong type of amplification). | |
| Recommended Speaker for Triode Amp Thanks Rleff, does anyone else have experience with the Merlins? I'm asking because of it's 89dB sensitivity. | |
| Recommended Speaker for Triode Amp Thanks for getting involved John and providing such helpful insight. I will keep your suggestions in mind.The field is starting to narrow...so thanks everyone! | |
| Recommended Speaker for Triode Amp Good Stuff.I checked out the thread Almarg, and it is quite lengthy but informative, so thanks. The Audio Notes look appealing and I may be able to pull off the room corner setup. What's easiest, is that I can see the dealer's audio store on the h... | |
| Recommended Speaker for Triode Amp I have a question! Are the horns mentioned above compatible with a fairly small room (15 x 13 x 10h)?I checked out the KCS speakers, but I have no room for a sub and not sure if the bookshelf models would give me the low end I need. | |
| Recommended Speaker for Triode Amp Thanks guys, I will check these out. | |
| What are the weakest components in my system? I agree with amplifier upgrade and like Jrinkerptdnet's mention of a Vintage solution. Sam Kim of Sam's Audio Labs is a master circuit designer and vintage equipment restorer/upgrader. Sam upgraded my McIntosh MR-71 to Triode and it's amazing. Che... | |
| Flexi-Rack Maintenance Question I agree. Thanks John. | |
| Flexi-Rack Maintenance Question Thanks John,That's what that is!!! I tried wiping it off but it was too hardened. I experimented with one shelf using steel wool and that did the trick but I don't know if I should re-oil.I talked to a wood guy and he recommended that I wait a cou... | |
| Flexi-Rack Maintenance Question Thanks Bob!I still think I just over did it with the oil because I've got 2" thick Northern Hard Maple butcher block that I received unfinished. It's good stuff...see my flexi-rack pic.Someone told me that I might just try mineral spirits because ... | |
| Flexi-Rack Maintenance Question No, I think I actually over-saturated the wood with the oil. I applied many coats, waiting a full day between each coat and I sanded before and between coats. It was very smooth when I was done but I noticed a few days later that there were a coup... |
