| Tube amps and speaker ohms Wolcott produces tube amps to meet the demands of power hungry, low impedance speakers. As does Music Reference, if I'm not mistaken. | |
| Tube amps and speaker ohms Castle Acoustics made their own drivers in-house. Gamut, which is owned by Lars Goller, uses Scanspeak drivers in their loudspeakers. For twenty years until he bought Gamut, Lars Goller was the inventor and developer of every important driver at S... | |
| Tube amps and speaker ohms 05-29-07: Divad68Sticking with floorstanders that have a healthy bass output and are not bright or overly forward sounding, can you suggest any manufacturers/models I should potentially be shortlisting?The Castle Acoustics Howard S2 I just purchas... | |
| Tube amps and speaker ohms Marconi & Osram invented the KT77 and manufactured the tube under the Genelex label.FWIW. | |
| Harbeth vs. Tyler 05-28-07: BartokfanInteresting that the comments made on Ty's open forum line up closely with reviews here and on Audioreview.com.Interesting in what way? In the way Tyler owners would comment favorably on Tyler's website, and also comment favorab... | |
| Tube amps and speaker ohms 05-28-07: NewbeeTvad - FWIW, dealing with like kinds, ie SED's, I found the 6l6GC slightly mellow thru the upper mids/highs compared to the EL34 in both of my Primaluna amps...I noticed just the opposite in the Leben. Interesting. It might have to... | |
| Tube amps and speaker ohms My new Leben CS-600 can use 6L6GC, EL34, KT66, KT77, and KT88 among others. I find I enjoy the 6L6GC (RCA Black plates) more than SED Winged "C" EL34 because the 6L6 produce a larger and more open sound, IMO. I was curious to try KT88, but Trelja'... | |
| Harbeth vs. Tyler 05-28-07: BartokfanNeither have you read any of the unbiased comments of Tyler owners on his site.That's an oxymoron. By definition, any comments made by customers on a manufacturer's website are biased in favor of the manufacturer and its products. | |

| Harbeth vs. Tyler well for one thing you ought to do your research...Not sure where you can find reviews on Harbeths. I did n't like the looks of any of their speakers. very cheap looking, and way over priced.Bartokfan (Threads | Answers)You should take your own ad... | |
| Tube amps and speaker ohms Thanks, Newbee. Personally, I believe it'd be beneficial to Ty's potential customers if he published some impedance specs, but in the end that's his business. I'm only speaking as a consumer.Though I realize they vary, I'm not that interested in d... | |
| Tube amps and speaker ohms Newbee, can you provide a link on the Tyler website that contains impedance specs? Thanks.I can't quite wrap my head around why some tube amps work with 3 ohm impedance loads and others do not. The Leben CS-600, which produces 32wpc with 6L6GC tub... | |
| Tube amps and speaker ohms 05-27-07: BartokfanTrue i did swap the KT90's for th eKT88's w/o biasing. But also had a KT88 NEW intergrated for demo purposes. Was the new KT88 amp a Cayin? If so, it requires manual biasing. Tubes and tube amps require biasing whether they are ... | |
| Tube amps and speaker ohms 05-27-07: BartokfanIn my experience the KT88 tube is better for higher sensitivity speakers.I only like KT90 and 6550's,. Well I'll hear the 6550 first time in 2 weeks.This experience based upon the author having never biased any of the tubes.Prop... |
