| New system/room, upgrade amp or preamp first? i've always felt that a very good pre-amp is the soul of a system and mandatory to get right. There are others who feel differently. I'd say get a good tube pre-amp first although if you only have one source another good option would be a good pas... | |

| Dunlavy SC IV A harsh high frequency UNless there is a known defect with the tweeters, blowing them once a year would seem, (IMO) an indication that your amp is underpowered for your needs and that you are driving it into clipping, which will fry the tweeters pretty quickly. | |
| SET shortlist to drive tweeters in active system Lewinskih01- I think what has me baffled is why you would want to use an SET on the tweeters in a 3 way. The vast majority of the musical information is conveyed by the midrange and that is where SETs really deliver their magic. Also, I believe th... |
