what is your opinion ?


Hi everyone, last 18 years I've got hooked up to vintage Tube amplifiers, prior to that I was rather happy with SS muscle amps driven to my Apogee Scintilla and Duetta sig's truly open 3D soundstage Few tube amps was able accept Apogee marriage but not  as good as SS amps, until I ended up bargain priced infamous Altec's voice the theatre speakers not a wife pleaser but luckly I've  got a dedicated music room, never looked back since then ,,WE design 91 , WE46C , RIP Don Garber, even loftin White design SET amps T.Mayer Attilio Caccamo of Tektron some genious Japanese design SET Amps they all have unique presantation complimented by incredable sound of 45, 2A3, VT52,300B, E406N, even modern production Sophia 206 , and many more  ! my question is why these old school design audio sounds nearer to reality ? naturally we are all aware of room acoustics tuning our  rooms etc, etc are we listening equipment or music ? do we really need furniture grade Audio equipment ? or maybe we humans are we trying to re invent the wheel again ?

I honestly not that sure what are you trying to achieve ?
I participate on this and other forums simply because I enjoy music and I enjoy helping out where I can. I like to simply state the facts; I apologize if this has put you off.
Ralph, you are not out of line, as far as my understanding of the op's original post. He is arrogant, close minded, and comes off, to know more than everyone else, imo. I would not, at this point, be willing to address his questions, and have a discussion with him, about anything. Not my kind of person. BTW...although I live with ss, using horns, with the right speaker, OTL is the far better sq, based on my years of listening.........
Dear Ralph,Thank you apology accepted. best wishes

Dear mrdecibel2, how kind you are ! perhaps you were not able to read my earlier posts about my statement about life, Life is a biggest university we never stop learning till We stop breathing .  not sure about me been narrow minded !on the contrary Human mind it works like parachut if it is open it works ! if it doesn't Tough luck.
 it is incredable how clearly you are describing yourself enjoy your SS &Horns and I Hope you'll  find a right speaker for your future OTL.
also 2 is a company 3rd one is a crowd .
please do not try play for spectators keep your rude /offensive comments to yourself . have a nice day .
How about resurrect this thread for a bit?

@sabih I'm currently using a 300B amp to drive my big old JBLs. I switched from solid state to tubes about two years ago and have no regrets. Economics have played a part of my putting my system together but altogether things sound pretty good.

@atmasphere I'm constantly impressed by your generosity, openness, patience and willingness to share your knowledge. You demonstrate a very high level of integrity, and for this I am truly grateful.
@mrdecibel - Glad I missed this thread, it’s first time around!                                      Regarding the OP: I’d have to add OBTUSE, to your description.                                Trying to think of term for someone that puts word in another’s mouth, then wants to argue about them (a constant compulsion, throughout the thread).      ERISTIC just doesn’t cut it.                           SHEESH!
