| 40-50w tube amp for Aerial 9 I thought the sound in the room was very good. Non-fatiguing, yet detailed, extended and balanced.Never having heard the components or speakers before, it's impossible for me to comment separately on the electronics and speakers. | |
| Passive Preamps By the Kevin Bacon theory I'm now 1 against 3.Tholt (Threads | Answers)Tholt, not necessarily.Lrsky votes for an active preamp. I give props to Lrsky's recommendations.Yet, I own a passive preamp (SMc Audio VRE-1). | |
| 40-50w tube amp for Aerial 9 Based on what I heard at RMAF with the 50A driving the Wilson Benesch Curve loudspeakers (88dB, 6 ohm nominal, 4 ohm minimum), I would think using the 4 ohm outputs on the 50A would work with your 90dB, 4 ohm nominal loudspeakers.However, I wouldn... | |
| The Hub: TidBits from RMAF 2009: Part TWO Glad someone else was impressed with the cost-no-object Audio Note room. I also found the Audio-Note-on-a-budget room quite entertaining. One among a few rooms that caused me to break out in a big smile. | |

| $8oo dollar budget 10-07-09: Fromundaspeakers are B&W 602.5 s388dB, 8 ohm nominal (3 ohm minimum).The 3 ohm spec rules out a tube amp, IMO. | |
| RMAF Loudspeakers? I think it was the Model TL-M1 MKII that was $35K. | |
| $8oo dollar budget Impossible to recommend an amp without knowing the speakers' specifications, and the size of your room. | |
| RMAF Loudspeakers? I have heard a Tonian model in the past. Considered one of the latest offerings, but the full range models are beyond my budget ($35k as I recall). | |

| RMAF Loudspeakers? 10-06-09: BjesienWhy 95+dB as a priority. Because I want to use low powered tube amplification.To get 105dB peaks on a 90dB speaker at 10 feet from the speakers requires 156wpc. To get 105dB peaks on a 95dB speaker requires 50wpc. Big difference. ... |
