| Experience with Simaudio Moon North amps @kerrybh My two cents: If your room is optimized acoustically, meaning optimal speaker / listening chair placement and (possibly) necessary acoustic treatment, like absorbers, diffusors, and bass traps you might benefit from the mono-block topolog... | |
| Experience with Simaudio Moon North amps I have had the 761 stereo amp for several weeks now; I’m pairing it with the 791. It’s powering Opera Callas Diva speakers (also handmade in Italy). I can’t say enough about this amp. I love it. I don’t see how you could go wrong with the partneri... | |
| SimAudio Moon North Collection I was so impressed with the 641/681 demo that I ordered the 791/761. I’ve had a few moon amps before, the 860av2, 760a, 330a. Loving the north combo. They really nailed this recipe! I’ll share some more thoughts as the gear develops more. | |
| Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions @arafiq Nice post! I’m in agreement with you on Harbeth. Amazing speakers when setup with some care. They display truth and color in music and are capable of being highly emotionally engaging. I never quite understood the vitriol directed at Har... | |
| Finding a Bookshelf for Luxman C900U/M900U @darkknight8586 If you trust the seller, that is a steal, but $1500 USD seems too good to be true. I’d proceed with caution. Money aside, the Callas 2014 are excellent and would be right at home with your musical genre and Luxman gear. I drove m... | |
| Finding a Bookshelf for Luxman C900U/M900U I’ve been listening in my office/study/lounge for sometime now, after discovering that l prefer the performance there vs other larger rooms. The office dimensions are: 4.2m length x 3.8m width x 4.5m height (vaulted ceiling really helps with over... | |
| No Output from Hegel H390 Prior to the firmware update did the unit work as expected /pass a signal to the speakers? When you rotate the volume does the front display have the word “damped” ? | |
| No Output from Hegel H390 Are 100% sure you didn’t inadvertently change the attenuation ? This happened to me on a Hegel H190; There was no output, similar situation. It turned out to the that the volume was essentially scaled to zero. You have to look in the manual and f... | |
| SimAudio Moon North Collection What a timely thread! I’ve been a fan of the Simaudio Moon amps for a while traversing from the 330a, 760a, and 860a-v2; I’ve been demoing at home the 641 and 681 components and have been extremely pleased with the design direction they have taken... | |
| New Pass Labs Go To “Guess he likes the heat” Well I mean he was surrounded by Pass Labs Class A amps… Happy Trails and best wishes Mark! Had many pleasant transactions over the years. Enjoy retirement :) | |
| Finding a Power Amplifier for Luxman C-900U @ghdprentice 100% agree with your assessment of the M900u; Had that amp with the C900u, on numerous occasions over the years with Dynaudio Confidence 30, Focal Sopra No2, Dynaudio Confidence 50. Bass was constipated and dry in all cases and in di... | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD @macg19 Congrats! That BAT VK3500 looks great; Keep us posted! I still need to try iso devices under my speakers; I have herbie things between the speakers and Sound Anchor stands. | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD @macg19 Nice thread. I would like to add some additional color for you. This will be long but hopefully not boring 😁 A few years ago, I tried a lovely pair of Harbeth M40.2. At that time I had a system setup in a large room, about 35x40x9 - this ... | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In @jeffreyw I highly doubt this issue is amplifier/ speaker synergy. It sounds like you want to get serious about solving it, so why not at least rule out room bass mode/null by performing a frequency sweep at your listening position with the gear... | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In It’s quite possible that the speaker / room/ listening position is manifesting a bass null; I’ve battled this exact symptom for years. If your listening position is near the center of the room this is most likely the culprit. |
