Buggtussel Speakers - heard 'em?

I have not heard them but I recall Duke from Audiokinesis saying he liked them. Correct me if I'm wrong Duke. The Buggtussels use transmission line bass enclosures which in my opinion is a big step in the right direction. The transmission line speakers I own are not very tube friendly. This however might be associated with my particular speakers transmission line terminating in passive radiators. I don't think the Buggtussels have passive radiators. My speakers bass isn't controlled enough unless the amplifiers damping factor is 500 or better.

I heard them at CES and liked them very much, but they seemed a little bright to me (maybe more than a little). Did you notice that Tomryan? Could have been other factors at fault.

I have heard them twice at a dealer frined of mine here in New Jersey. The ones I heard where the $7K models, forget the name. He had the Atma mono blocks on them and then these little digitla amps 100 wpc called the flying moles ($700 for the pair) and I have to say that those little SS digi amps were exceptional at lower volumes. Warmer than the tubes. The speakers probably won't be optimal with low powered SET amps if you like some volume but overall they are extremely musical, easy to place, and have a very nice sound.

Happy Listening.

BigKidz..I've seen more and more talk about these little digital amps.It's amazing what they can do for their size.Here's a review on them http://stereotimes.com/

Times are definitely changing!

Gonna be a whole lot of Big Iron amps re-purposed into boat anchors in the next few years. Well, perhaps.
