| Experience with Tannoy Westminster Royal Gold Reference I don't think it would be wise to spend lots of money on amplifiers for speakers that you are not sure you like. Here is a review on the Sophia Electric 300B amplifiers paired with a pair of the large Tannoy's. Not sure you could do much better fo... | |
| Help, my system sounds lifeless! I would not spend money on room treatments. Wait till you purchase speakers and see how the room responds to them. Over the years I have made my own treatments. Recently I ordered a heavy 28 oz fabric and installed curtains behind my system. Prev... | |
| Help, my system sounds lifeless! Those Tannoy DC 8T's are very nice speakers. Lots of emotion. The cabinets are plywood so they don't suck the life out of the music. Plus you can drive them with an inexpensive 300B amplifier for a rich midrange. The DC 8T's were preferred over th... | |
| Experience with Tannoy Westminster Royal Gold Reference There has been good feedback using Sophia Electric 300B amplifiers. The life they bring to the speakers is in the midrange. | |
| Need Suggestions for speakers up to $15K new/used If you are looking for a world class speaker you can take a listen at AAudio Imports. He is down near Parker Colorado. Great listening room.Loads of emotion. | |
| Last CD player? I would recommend a DAC. Bricasti is very high end and they take very good care of their customers, meaning very very inexpensive upgrades as well as service. Use your Meridian as a transport. They work you way into a storage/server, on which you ... | |
| Viva, no longer a fan Consider this. A customer purchases a product from the dealer and would like to upgrade it. The dealer and manufacture would have an interest in maintaining that customer relationship by providing that services at a very "reasonable price." That i... | |
| Viva, no longer a fan What is the big deal.......( Jerry ) find someone who works on tube amps and order the upgrades to be installed by them....I don't get it. You buy a piece of gear used and expect royal treatment from an over seas manufacture. Try taking a used iPh... | |
| Search for miracle integrated I really like the Sophia Electric integrated. EL 34 tubes. Not the power that you would like but if you can get a speaker that doesn't use those music sucking crossovers you might be in audio heaven. | |
| Tube Amp vs Solid State Amp HELP boletti It is clear you are not married : )Good plan | |
| Bridging EAR 890's Not to change the subject but if you like to make a few changes, you already know what the EAR sounds like. I remember asking myself when I when I was much younger, " I had 3 beers and felt great, why did I think that 3 more would make me feel bet... | |
| Opinions Please - Sophia EL34ST Coke Bottle I was a dealer for Sohia Electric for years, am a big admire of what Richard does. Used to carry his little EL34 integrated amp and that was so sweet. One year we had a room at the RMAF in Denver and our Art Audio Carrisa popped. Replaced it with ... | |
| Power conditioner help arseI have always been skeptical of power conditioners. What I do like is the Kubala Sosna XPander. Plug all your gear into that and you should be good. I have two Bricasti M 28 mono blocks and the M1 DAC plus tow Wilson Benesch Torus Infrasonic G... | |
| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland I prefer the idea of using a tube preamplifier and solid state amplifier or mono blocks. Each of those represent the " real deal " . | |
| Visit to Magnolia Proves Interesting WolfAbsolutely. If more people would live in a tent it would be much easier to recreate those exact conditions, except the weather. Jim |
