| Which $500 Speaker Next? I picked up my smaller pair of OHM Walsh speakers (100 series3 drivers in refurbed Walsh 2 cabinets) for $600 used here on Agon a few years back.They are my favorites in general of all I have tried in my various sized rooms, especially for the pri... | |
| Next upgrade on Usher & Primaluna rig?? DOug,CAn you recommend a specific package of tweaks along the lines you identify to address the OPS issues?THat would help take the guesswork out of that approach at this point as opposed to focusing on optimal amp.speaker matching, which to me is... | |
| Next upgrade on Usher & Primaluna rig?? I suspect at this point for significant change you either need higher efficiency more tube amp friendly speakers or throw more power and current at the Ushers. Rogue Sphynx hybrid integrated might be worth a try for that. | |
| Any thoughts/recommendations on electronics little to loose to try. willing to bet it sounds great. | |
| Woohoo & yippee Well, the amp you are using does not appear to be a slouch by any means. Either old or new amp should do fine with those speakers. And room is not big. I'm thinking you will hear a difference between the two, but perhaps not a huge one on the gran... | |
| Best Class A amp with SLAM probally really depends more on the speaker/amp combination for the resulting slam."Absolutely it does. The BEST amp with slam is probably the one that can do it best with most any speaker that is up to the task in most any room.Kinda like how Pey... | |
| Woohoo & yippee P,Tell us what your current system is then we can all demonstrate our psychic (or psycho depending on perspective) powers by telling you what to expect in relation to that. | |
| Best Class A amp with SLAM " the new krell amps have a different sound flavor, some may prefer it, I do not, there is nothing like the old school slam of Krell!,"What's exactly is different about newer Krell compared to old? | |
| Best Class A amp with SLAM Tube tester included...nice!Auto-bias...that should help a lot.I recall VAC features that on some of their best amps and touts how hard it is to pull off properly.Now I just need the black Friday sale..... Since we're talking CLass A here, I won't... | |
| Any Boston Acoustic sub fans? I have an outstanding project to undertake to refurb a pair of old Boston a40 monitors and an older M&K sub sitting in my basement together. This should make for a very nice combo someday when done. | |
| Interesting vintage find A well matched system from back then in good working order can easily compete still today. The digital source (CD player) is probably the part where technology has advanced the most since 1985. I would be looking to compare something newer though ... | |
| Best Class A amp with SLAM Atmasphere, I bet those would drive my OHMs nicely!Any deep Black Friday discounts coming up?Seriously, how practically does one keep all the tubes on a device like that functioning properly? I imagine a relatively small investment in a good tube ... | |
| What are you 'TRULY' Looking for in Loudspeaker... Music sounds as real as possible and as little like a recording as the recording will allow. | |
| opinions on this new product I have dirty phones, I like quality speakers and I tend to oversleep.Sounds like a winner.Can it core a apple?"Chef of the Future"? | |
| System too bassy - Primaluna & Usher I'd use the same wire for both myself at this stage jut because that will keep things simpler. You can always experiment with whatever variations you want from there later. |
