| "Krell" is a buzzword I had a Krell amp and was totally pleased with the build quality and their service. I thought the amp had blown up and sent it in to the factory, come to find out it actually had been struck by lightning and they fixed it at no cost to me. After t... | |
| Audio research LS25 any opinions I agree with Blues_man's response, putting a bunch of solid state stuff in the amps and pre-amps isn't going to necessarily make them sound better, but surely different. Lets wait for some reviews and enjoy the sweet sound of the tubes we already ... | |
| Amp (<10k$) for Thiel CS7.2s I would look at Pass amps, most notably the X-350, there is a new in the box on Audiogon for $7,500...retails for $9,000. A writer for TAS, Anthony Cordesman uses 7.2s with the Pass X-600 as his reference. Pass Labs gives you tube sound with solid... | |
| Help! Deciding btwn several 2.5K spkrs I would spend a little more money and have the Dunlavy SCIIIs drop shipped to your door. They are running a special on them till 11/30 at Audio Video Logic in Des Moines, Iowa. The number is 515-727-2279 and the owner's name is John Wiers and tell... | |
| ARC VT 100: MkII vs. MkIII? I talked to my dealer yesterday...he advised that ARC will be upgrading the entire line to the new tubes and set-up. He also said there is a clear difference in sound and said pre-amp upgrades will make a bigger difference than amplifier.The new t... | |
| ARC VT 100: MkII vs. MkIII? I wasn't aware of the mkIII version. I have a LS15 and VT100 mkII and I'm completely satisfied and have over 500 hours on the original set of tubes. I think ARC upgrades are evolutionary not revolutionary, so spend your money wisely fellas. Isn't ... | |
| Krell FPB200 or Levinson 334 ? The current 300 series Levinson is the best that they have produced. Levinson in my opinion is a more relaxed delivery of sound than Krell. The music will emanate from behind the speakers. The Krell will be a bit more forward and definitely more d... | |
| Cables, Interconnects and More Cables??? I've had extremely good luck with Synergistic Research. They are very neutral sounding and have cables & interconnects at all price levels. Good luck finding the right combination. | |
| Advice for driving Thiel 2.2s ? I had 2.2s before switching to Dunlavys and I used Krell amp with ARC preamp. Thiels need good solid state amplification, but you don't have to spend $10M. You can get a used FBP 200 for under $4M and a used ARC LS15 for under $2M. Krell & ARC... | |
| tube amp advice foe Dunlavy scIII'S I am using an ARC VT100mkII with my SCIIIs and it is outstanding. VT200 might be necessary with larger Dunlavys but not with the IIIs. You can use the 8ohm connections which provide awesome dynamics. Good luck finding the best match for you. | |
| Best cable for my system I don't know what your price range is, but I have had good luck the Synergistic Research line. They don't emphasize any specific frequency (i.e. highs or lows) but tend to be very nuetral, open & airy sounding. Make sure you listen to any choi... |
