| advice on amp - $3,500 maximum budget Give the RM200 a try. Buy a used one if you can. They are listed occasionally.I've owned a 4B SST, and while Bryston makes a great amp, I don't think it's going to provide you the best option, especially if Sehring recommends tubes. The sound is i... | |

| advice on amp - $3,500 maximum budget Is the cabinet enclosed except for the front? Generally, a tube amp will not do well in an enclosed space without a fan for ventilation. However, if the cabinet has an open back and mesh sides, and if the shelf spacing allows for generous room abo... | |
| What is overkill for Vandersteens? Vandersteen 3A speakers like power. I'd run the MC2500 as monoblocks. | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? I received a pair of GG Revelation II balanced interconnects. They sound very good, but nearly identical to a pair of KCI Silkworm balanced interconnects I also own.Not sure what I was expecting.In any case, the Revelation II are worth the price o... | |
| Coincident Super Eclipse or Devore Nines? Jaybo has made an excellent point twice now.Placement can make a profound difference. Just toeing the speakers in (or out) a couple of degrees, or moving them closer together (or farther apart) by an inch or two can make a significant change in th... | |
| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps Rabbani, in a large room, you will need a speaker with higher sensitivity than the Silverline's 93dB if you intend to use the XA-30.5, in my opinion. The XA-30.5 started to run out of steam in my 24x19 room.The Sonata III speakers do have Dynaudio... | |
| Integrated amp for Eggleston Andra II The Reference 3A Grand Veena may meet your requirements...F1a (Threads | Answers)Yes, they would in most respects. | |
| Vandersteen 3a and Spendor sp1/2e's my amplifier has 1,2,4,and 8 ohm taps. The speakers are 6 ohm. Should I hook them up to 4 or 8?Thanks again,MikeHanaleimike (System | Threads | AnswersThey will likely sound punchier and more dynamic on the 4 ohm taps, while they will sound more ... | |
| Made in Canada conundrum I don't understand the dust up about a Canadian bidding on an auction that had "USA only" as a term of the auction.Obviously, if an auction is restricted to US sales only, then any bid from outside the USA is void, and the highest bid from a US bu... | |
| Integrated amp for Eggleston Andra II I'm not going to purchase an XA-100.5 in order to purchase Andra II speakers. There comes a time when enough money has been spent on amplification and speakers, and the XA-100.5/Andra II combo would be over the limit of what would allow me to slee... | |
| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps 06-04-09: Chashas1I could definitely see where a Pass amp could take care of any perceived brightness....they certainly are market savvy.Huh?If you read my posts, you will see the brightness was corrected due to the Pass XA-.5 amp doubling power a... | |
| Integrated amp for Eggleston Andra II Kurt_tank, thanks. You confirm what I thought. | |
| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps ...as has been mentioned in other threads, since the topic of Silverline speakers and tubes vs. solid state has been thoroughly discussed, different Silverline models work better with tubes than other models due to flatter impedance curves. The Bo... | |
| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps 06-04-09: Chashas1Tvad, I was doing a search on the silverlines, (I've always wanted to hear them) and I saw several mentions where Alan Yun preferred tube amps.I attended two CES shows (2004 and 2005), and one LA audio show (2005, I think...) at ... |
