| Vandersteen Quatro CT or Wilson Sabrina I agree with previous comments that you should convince yourself as to the sound you prefer.My love of Vandersteen is documented on this board, so you know where I come out. I will say that even putting sound to the side, Vandersteen is very good... | |
| New Krell Phono Stage? Balanced in/out No way you can rip the Ayre P5xe out of my hands. Great phono preamp; do try it before spending more.... | |

| Bi-Amping Which amp for highs and which for lows? On paper.... :) | |
| Bi-Amping Which amp for highs and which for lows? If the amps have different gain, you won’t be driving the HF and LF sections of your speaker equally. If the HF amp has 2db more gain, then it’d be as though your HF drivers are 2db louder than they should be.If you are happy , that’s all that ma... | |
| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? I leave my Ayre K5xemp pre amp on all the time. I don't think it has a on/off switch (or at least I have no idea where it is??).I leave my Ayre P5xe phono pre amp on all the time, per Ayre recommendation. Everything else gets turned on and off w... | |
| Bi-Amping Which amp for highs and which for lows? OP, suggest you confirm that the two amps have identical gain..... | |
| Huey Lewis diagnosed with Meniere's disease Sorry to hear this. I wish him well; have enjoyed his music for years. | |
| Bi-Amping Which amp for highs and which for lows? What would the advantage be of adding another crossover (the capacitor) ahead of the HF input of the speaker? I think the OP would need some decent measurement gear to get that volume control set correctly.I still am of the view that bi-wiring wi... | |
| Bi-Amping Which amp for highs and which for lows? Pick the better amp of the two and biwire rather than biamp. If you decide to go for biamping have you confirmed that both amps have the same gain? | |
| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? Think we're saying the same thing. But thanks for reminding me that I know just enough to be dangerous.... :) | |
| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? Thanks Erik. I had assumed (perhaps wrongly) that in a 2.5 way, only the woofer physically closer to the tweeter plays up to the crossover frequency of the tweeter (say 3 kHz), and the other woofer has its low pass set to a lower frequency (say, 5... | |
| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? Hi Erik,Are there challenges in designing a crossover for a 2.5 way given that a large portion of the frequency range (bass) is shared by two identical drivers, but another large portion (midrange) is handled by just one driver? I was thinking in... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members Hi @cj1965 ,Take a trip through wineberserkers.com , a wine forum that allows anonymity. It gets every bit as childish as any other internet forum. I submit (respectfully) that you are wrong to think that wine is a topic above the fray... I think ... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members I belong to one forum (a wine forum) where real names and industry affiliations must be disclosed. It is far and away the most civil internet forum I've ever participated in. It is also the only one that has resulted in friendships outside the f... |
