| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Grannyring,I'd looked at Sonist, but their prices have really shot up. Their smallest monitor is over $3000 at this point, IIRC. Seems they have beautiful workmanship, though. | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Rob,Yes, I think the summer time is slow. My De Capo's sat there for about 2 weeks before I really got any nibbles, and they were also listed on eBay, US Audiomart and Audio Circle! Sheesh!Are you familiar with hifishark.com? It's a web site that ... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Hey, Rob,Thanks for the post.I looked at those AN-E's and asked Brian at ANK about them. He confirmed that they are an old version of the "94 dB" model and he doesn't really recommend them with the Kit 1. The AN-E Kits he sells, by contrast, are a... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Saki70,Hi. Thanks for the tip about the AN-J. It would probably be perfect for my needs, but the AN stuff is still so gosh darn expensive, or at least out of my budget. But thanks for pointing them out to me. One more AN model to keep an eye out f... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Here's a question:Do any of you SET users think that running at SET with a subwoofer necessarily compromises the best SET qualities? | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Charles,Whatever I go with on this round, I think I will keep my eyes peeled for a used pair of AN E's. It's unfortunate that they are so pricey, but what can you do? | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Jet, Right now, there is actually a fellow here on audiogon who is selling a pair of Audio Note AN-E/SP's. They come with Audio Note stands and sell for $1500! I sent the link to Brian at Audio Note Kits. He confirmed that these are an older versi... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Map,Yeah, they were REALLY something. If I could get a huge price break from Brian of ANK, I'd jump at the opportunity to build one of the kits. But he buys those direct from AN UK, and by the time they are shipped and imported I don't think he ha... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Jet -Hey! :-) My soldering gun wielding DIY guru! :-DI have only heard AN speakers once, at the California Audio Show in the AN room a few years ago, and it was my favorite room! The only room, in fact, that I kept returning to. The dynamics and "... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Tubegroover,Thanks a lot for the nice comments. I appreciate it.SMcTigue,I suspect that a great deal of this is, in fact, about the synergy between a particular amplifier and a particular speaker. There are so many variables here, including one's ... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Hi, Guys,People seem interested in my impressions of the Lore Reference, so I'm happy to oblige. I wasn't super impressed with them when I first connected them. The sound seemed stuck to the speakers and I kind of got this "home theater" vibe. Of ... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps I'm loving learning from you folks. :-)And remember Rebbi's Rule (TM): "A thread ain't a thread until it's hit 500 posts." :-D | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Mapman,You've always said you wanted to see how De Capo's stack up against your Triangle's. I know where you can get a nice pair. ;-)Oh, and by the way I think you and Charles might want to settle this whole "SET limitations" thing via a gentleman... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Hey, Folks,I find this conversation fascinating and appreciate all of your input.Tubegroover, I love my Kit 1 and am sold on the SET "thing." It sounds more like music and gives me more pleasure than any other amp I've owned, including a Unison Un... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Hi, Lak,I'd never heard of the Von Schweikert db 99, which isn't surprising because according to some research I did, they may not have made more than 200 pairs of them before dropping them from the line-up.Wow, they are gorgeous - you are lucky t... |
