| Tube Friendly Speakers - Down to 30Hz - $3000? 08-27-06: WarrenhTvad, I see you have ruled out the Druids. What didn't you like about them?I don't want to rehash this. Suffice it to say, they are not under consideration. Let's leave it at that. | |
| Best Bike to ride before a good listening session It's hard to imagine single digit temperatures when it was 105F today in North Hollywood, California. 70 degrees at 8:00am when I rolled out of the garage.Have a great time in Girona. That should be a real treat. | |
| Low watt tube amps/pros/cons 08-27-06: Sogood51"Anyone heard a KT88 tube that was dynamic in the bass and highs?"Yes. I owned a KT88 tube amp that was exceptionally dynamic in the lows and the highs. I suspect the KT88 tubes had something to do with its sound. | |
| Tube Friendly Speakers - Down to 30Hz - $3000? Thanks everyone for your thoughts. There are some excellent ideas here. | |
| Low watt tube amps/pros/cons I see someone posted that he has a 15 watt tube amp and wants to get 30hz bass. It is highly unlikely that his amp will deliver as low as 30hz, even if he did find a speaker that went to that level, would the bass have any authority? Also by sayin... | |
| Tube Friendly Speakers - Down to 30Hz - $3000? How close to the nearby walls do you anticipate placing the speakers? Approx 3 feet from the rear wall (no farther into the room), and about 2 feet from the side walls.Can they be toed in? Yes.Given that the Tyler PD speakers failed the WAF test, ... | |
| Tube Friendly Speakers - Down to 30Hz - $3000? Sensitivity @ 89db+ is fine. Flat impedance without dips below 4 ohms is more important than nominal impedance specs, IMO.The Tyler PD line fits the bill specs-wise, but they are too large for our living room, and their styling will not fly with m... | |
| Best Bike to ride before a good listening session My Litespeed Tuscany may not be the best...but it's the one I'm rolling out on in 15 minutes...and that's what counts.BTW, I still have to pedal uphill.:) | |
| Tube Friendly Speakers - Down to 30Hz - $3000? Duke, the footprint issue is really a matter of the appearance of the speakers...which is to say a footprint of 14"w x 22"d would be acceptable whereas a footprint of 22"w x 14"d would not. The 14" wide speakers look smaller, even though the footp... | |
| Tube Friendly Speakers - Down to 30Hz - $3000? 08-26-06: JdombrowAdd Green Mountain Calisto's to your short list. They are outstanding!They go to 47Hz, correct? Not low enough (I want 30Hz), but I know they're excellent speakers. | |
| Which cable is most important to spend money on... The way this is stated, which is all too common with many products - not ours particularly, it sounds like the RSAD cables compromised Grant's system and would most likely compromise most systems. Wouldn't it be a fairer statement to say a given c... | |
| Tube Friendly Speakers - Down to 30Hz - $3000? Tyler Linbrook Sig Sys (LSS) , but its out your budget range, lucky if you can find used for $4K.You might find a used speaker that goes down to 30hz used/$3K. But i doubt it.Bartokfan (Threads | Answers)Thanks for your input, Paul. See my comment... | |
| Tube Friendly Speakers - Down to 30Hz - $3000? The adagio have a nominal impedance of 6 ohm, and sensitivity of 89db...identical to my VR4 Gen III HSE. The VR$ have a minimum impedance of 3 ohms. Does anyone kjnow the Adagio's minimum impedance?I'll check out the Cabassse.Someone else reminded... | |
| Tube Friendly Speakers - Down to 30Hz - $3000? Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I appreciate the input.Small footprint is misleading. My present loudspeakers have a 22"x13" footprint. Round about that size or smaller is fine.Powered subwoofers in each tower are probably OK. A two-box solu... | |
