| Speaker wire size VS speaker size. Should bigger speakers use bigger wires? Speaker wires are important, bur an overkill is surely not needed.Depending the need of a high bass level 0.75mm2 till 1,5mm2 is usefull the rest is overkill.For the rest: 4-pole calculations will clear everything.regardsTon | |
| Tube Phono with Tube Integrated Amp? Tubes of solid state, thats the question....first: tubes are voltage amps, second: solidstate are current amplifiers.Both are good, but the ouput transformers in tube amplfier do have there own characteristics. With other words, there is an influe... | |
| What is your speaker ownership history since 1995? Here is mine:Wharfdale Linton 3Bowers & Wilkins DM 4 (in combination with Marantz 2218)Bowers & Wilkins DM 2a (in combination with Marantz 2270)The last combination is realy made for life, still sounds incredible good.regardsTon | |
| whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money hi thereis there realy a need for "special" cables?When the amp must deliver over 200 W you can try it.Remember:. at 5 Amp at 8 Ohm then you need just 1.5 mm2 (200W RMS)Thats all you need.No fancy cables are needed.regardsTon | |
| Marantz 2270 Hello Quincy, thanks!Also I read some issues about speaker cables.There are lots of people who claimed to hear the difference......I've made a study about the cables and found that it is impossible to hear the difference between 2,5mm2 and 1mm2 wi... | |
| Marantz 2270 Nothing really change .....Our ears are still the same; capable to hear from 20 to 16.000 Hz. Some people do hear a little more; that's it...But.... sum and/or devided frequencies can give a specific character to the equipment, loudspeakers specif... | |

Stupid good..... yeah, these are mine B&W DM2a's which I bought for just 75,- Euro.They sound incredible.Important when you choose speakers: you must not get tyered. Checking: use dixyland music. Due to the mix of instruments you can check how... | |
| How do tube manufacturers like VAC get 55 watts per KT88 where others get only 30-35? Hi all !Class A, AB etc. But I also noticed that there are output transformerless KT88 systems. I believe its a so called cathodefollower?.Then again comparisons with SS amps is difficult.... Tube amps are voltage related instead of SS which are c... | |
| B&W or kef Try B&W DM2a or Kef RR104in most cases they are more then sufficient in any way. | |
| Speakers with deep base Good transmission line speakers wil do the job without the need of extensive power.By the way, .mind your ears! | |
| speaker cables for b&w Speakercables are not that critical as vendors try to make us believe.Just ordinairy cable is pretty good unless your distance is over 50 meters. |
