| Manley stingray and tannoy Philjolet, I also have the first model which is rated at 50wpc. The newer models are 40wpc due to a lower voltage power transformer. | |
| Room EQ to eliminate the BBC dip? I have not known B&W speakers to sound particularly smooth. I always thought their sound was fairly flat with a lively treble. Early KEF speakers have that smooth sound especially with Krell. | |
| Manley stingray and tannoy Philjolet, Was your Stingray an early one? I understand the power has been reduced on the later models due to different transformers. I ran SMGa Maggies with original Quad tube monos with 15 watts. I did not try them with large scale music, but th... | |
| Entry into HiFi What old receiver and speakers do you have now? | |
| High Powered Wireless Network for Audio This might be a better question for your internet provider. | |
| Tube maintenance for Audio research sp-16 pre-amp Thorman, You are correct. Audio Research does not make tubes, but they have the knowledge and equipment for screening tubes to best match their equipment. | |
| How to listen to the good stuff? I remember hearing a system at a stereo store that sounded incredible and the speakers were B&W 801s with Levinson electronics. The room was huge and the sound was big and life-like. It was truely a rare occasion. I am usually not impressed wi... | |
| Tube maintenance for Audio research sp-16 pre-amp Mapman, That's exactly why you want to stay with ARC tubes, because you don't want to change the sound of a great sounding preamp. | |
| Tube maintenance for Audio research sp-16 pre-amp As you already know you will get tons of advice on where to buy, what to buy and how much fun it is rolling tubes. Do yourself a favor and buy your tubes from Audio Research. I have played the tube rolling game many times and tubes provided by the... | |
| Speaker power handling Yagimax, I would say you are headed in the right direction. I would like to know what you think of the Octave and Dynaudio combination. Do you know which amp you would be trying out, V70, V80? | |
| Speaker power handling Weseixas, It takes a lot more than a 5.5" woofer to sound like live music no matter how much power you have. Did you think the Dynaudio speakers were rated at 200 watts continuous? I would guess their 200 watt rating is a peak musical signal ratin... | |
| Speaker power handling Yagimax, Do yourself a favor and contact Dynaudio. I believe using an amplifier with 800 watts into 4 ohms is risky business with your little speakers. Its obvious I got mixed up in a solid state crowd. | |
| Speaker power handling Weseixas, The speakers power handling capability will be exceeded with 300 watts. Honestly, I do not believe speakers with a midrange size woofer are intended for this kind of abuse. It is true tweeters can easily be damaged with too little power,... | |
| Best Speaker synergy with AudioReseach and Bryston Maggies. | |
| Speaker power handling Weseixas, With all things being equal it takes a lot more parts to make a more powerful amplifier. Higher parts count equals lower fidelity. This is why audiophiles are attracted to the sound of SET amplifiers. There is something special about the... |
