| Would a Lamm ll2.1 deluxe slay a Parasound JC2? I have the LL2 deluxe and love it. It drives a tube amp, though. The LL2 responds very nicely to tube rolling, so that's also a turning tool for your system.Of course you get no remote control and you even get 2 volume pots. A deal breaker to some... | |
| Living in Audiophile Hell ! Buenos Aires , Argentina No problem. I realize surmounting feelings of inferiority is a challenge. No for everybody and some end up leaving. No hard feelings ☺ | |
| Living in Audiophile Hell ! Buenos Aires , Argentina What's the point of bitching and moaning about your country? Don't get it.I live in Argentina too. Sure, prices are high and there is basically no supply. But with a little creativity and patience you can bring stuff, use it, then resell for those... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Ralph,I thought 45s made 2W and one should run them at under 1W draw to keep distortion from growing much.Is this what you mean by 0.75W? | |
| KT88 tubes for Monos I'very been using Psvane black bottles since Nov-13 and have had no issues. In fact I purchased 5 in case one failed and I rotate them every 2 months and they have been perfect. Plus the sound is much, much better than the stock McIntosh tubes I h... | |
| How do I power my 800D(3)s B&W 800 series are often paired with McIntosh, Classe, Rowland, Levinson. Generally people like lots of power behind them.Having said that, I own 804S (different league from yours) driven by McIntosh tubes. I prefer it to a larger McIntosh sol... | |
| Heard the B&W N804d3s ... Have you tried a tube amp?Several years ago I had a Rotel amp driving my speakers. Upgradeitis hit and bought B&W 804S. Big improvement in some ways but now I could hear the limitations of the Rotel.I auditioned the speakers with some amps and... | |
| Roon and Squeezebox I haven't yet but will be trying in within the next 30 days. I will first focus on Roon and HQPlayer convolving 6 channels and the look into SBT. From what I've seen it should work well. | |
| Best Capacitors for Crossovers Ozzy,I am using an active xo, and while I hesitated for a long while because of the digital processing involved, which rang so much as heressy within my preconceived notions, I am not going back. I'm still learning and perfecting the implementatio... | |
| Cable for my Rythmik F12SE Sub I have a pair of 12" Rythmiks in very heavy DIY sealed boxes. And B&W 804S.Try running the preamp line out into Rythmik's crossover, take the line out of the plate xo and feed your amp. Your amp and your speakers will no longer try to reproduc... | |
| Best Capacitors for Crossovers Side question: what do you guys recommend for a tweeter protection cap in an active system? Protection for DC on amp turn on, or eventual active crossover malfunction.A good rule of thumb in an active system is the protection should be set two oct... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Hi jsman.I'm interested in learning more about your midrange horn. Is it circular? What are your xo points and what is the horn cutoff frequency? I'm also exploring tractrix midrange horns. Right now with a suitable cone driver but also considerin... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Hello Al.Thanks for the excellent and thoughtful reply. I've gone through it several times in the last couple of days.You made it very clear so I can work through the tradeoffs. Maybe running the amp up to 50% si not as offensive? Something to try... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Hello Ralph (Atmasphere).I've seen your comments before and I am keeping them in mind as I design/assemble my new system, a 4-way active. If using a 45 amp to only reproduce 350 to 2000Hz on a 100 dB/W driver in a 25m2 room and if average listenin... | |
| A/B comparison McIntosh MC275 MK IV vs. MC275 MK VI I have not heard the mk VI, but have the mk IV and I've tried a couple of things.On my amp/system, fuses had a very marginal impact.Rolling 12ax and 12at tubes had a significant impact.Replacing stock kt88 for shuagang treasures had a very signifi... |
