Right , Id not put the
Light in the dark
So its a hybrid |
Hi thanks fir that
I searched them up
The reviews claim that mbls work best with
Their own amps
Would my tube amp the Einstein be able to handle
Those speakers? |
Rtilden
I take your advice seriously as well as the others to answer those other questions
Room size is about 20 by 25
The music is classical, orchestral, piano, lute , and violin sonatas
Also, folk , acidfolk especially , other as well but mostly those two genres
Im very proud of acidfolk BTW, its not listened to enough
Cant really do the positioning thing now , so require speakers that aren't
so dependent on the perfect seating position
Likely will buy so sound enhancing stuff as it appears from the posts on threads that it can make quite a big difference
Also, the speakers listed by me, are just some examples of ones that seem highly respected here , which are praised for their ability to reproduce a live experience guess that is my goal |
Thats very helpful
The Thiels work, of course
But I notice they treble is harsh, while the bass is rounded
The midrange is missing to a large degree
Also, I just dont have the right room to set them up properly
Really need a great speaker that matches the tube amp
That is not complicated by additional equipment etc |
AlmRg, nice of you to point that out , thanks
I did talk to the speaker maker you recommended, and did get get the feeling that it would be the right fit. Problem being ,of course, guessing at speakers without hearing them is really hard.
I live pretty isolated, the nearest city had three dealers who have all gone out of business.
Not sure as to the reason, economy , or the itunes |
Good Rief
Will look fir them
I did search up merlin they seem real nice , I like their look to, even if its conventional
Ill try to get the larger ones if they come along here
Meanwhile Ill check the coincidents |

Very helpful, its not that i like the ohmm sound haven't heard any of these speakers actually
Only read about them on forums and online reviews
On digging further , i git the impression that ohmms also want gobs of power
I find it kind of wierd that tube amps are very popular , while most of the good to great speakers desire large powerful amps |
Hi
Ill search them up
Though the ones posted here seem quite moderate in price
Are they great nonetheless? |
|
Actually, wanted to test the theory about speakers being the first part of a system
Then the thiels were being sold fairly local, and I had the amp plus and player with no speakers, so I acted in haste , but at least Ive got sound |

Realize this is great advice trouble is i don't really have access to systems to audition, nor the time to go to hifi shows or drive a few hundred miles to a large city with stores.
May sound weird, but that as well as the vast experience of audiogoners here is the reason Im turning to this forum for advice
Not looking for the perfect gear just a reasonable facsimile of the recorded sound

Your right in general
The target is max our the potential of the wadia player and the
Light in the dark amp
To get a pair of speakers that will last for a lot of years too |
Hi Thanks once again fir your interest
The ceiling is a 16 footer |
Ok simao will check out these recommendations |
Hi
I will chr k the nolas and the focals
Both of them seem really interesting |
Ok got lots of research to do now
Phasecorrect
Appreciate the tip |
Unsound
Thanks for the horse its not dead yet
The Einstein is am amp i really like so , Id rather change speakers
Not sure what to do with the thiels though, i have a set of older McCormack amps , so I may use them or sell them
|
You may be right , was reading up on these , they have many pluses
Do you think the 15" driver is the essential element with the tannoys
Is there any other reason to use them with a tube amp?
Right now based on |
Rx8man
I replied to unsound just now, would really like to see how much juice the Einsteins have to give
Right now , im looking at the merlin vsm or tannoys
If tannoys ill have to wait fir a good pair with 15" drivers to show up
This is based on the input so far both these units seem like good soeakers
Not sure if they are great speakers, i guess thats the holy grail |
They may be
WhT they have in common from the stuff Ive learned here though,
Is they both work best with tube amps.
They are two way , which some people claim is superior to three way,
Both have a loyal following , and are considered highly,
The used gear sells for similar prices, other than Tannoy flagship |
At any rate would be interested in your opinion of them |

Ha ha good one
Thiels are fine speaks
Just trying to get max benefit from
My Einstein amp
The treble in particular is quite annoying |
