| What speakers work with low wattage class A amps As always I think amp-speaker matching should start with finding a speaker that locks in well with your room. But if you want enjoy 2A3, 300B, and 845 SETs the Heretic line of speakers made in Montreal are guaranteed to work. And, of course,... | |
| Phono Pre Gain Ask Ron Sutherland. But be aware that total system gain (including the sensitivity of your speakers amp and line stage) is what really matters. herb | |
| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? hello closenplay, I promise I am not being modest. I really and truly do not understand. I asked these exact same questions of Andrew Jones when he was setting up the SourcePoint 10s in Steve Guttenberg's listening room, and his answers plus all ... | |

| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? more dumb, not rhetorical, questions: what is the definition of "acoustic center" ? how do we know when they are aligned? A tone burst? what is the definition of a point source? I am completely confused. Is there a book on this st... | |
| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? Hello everybody, please help me with a dumb question that I do not know the answer to. closenplay stated, "To add clarity, concentric is a subset of coaxial. In other words, all concentric drivers are coaxial but not all coaxial drivers are con... | |

| Which LS3/5a? I own and still occasionally use a 15 ohm 1984 Rogers LS3/5a as well as the new Falcon Gold Badges. When I compare the two, my old Rogers, (which were tested to be in-spec annually by the CBS Broadcasting studio I bought them from) sound sof... | |
| Has something gone wrong @ Stereophile? a little further explanation about "positive reviews" . . . I have six reviews and twelve column per year. Why would I waste precious words telling readers about a less than wonderful product? If you read me regularly you can guess what p... | |

| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts please forgive me for stating the obvious: Anyone can google the part numbers of the parts in the Benchmark (or any amplification) and see what they are exactly, and how they are specified to perform. The Mouser or DigiKey descriptions sh... | |
| Reminder: how to tell current from an amp's specs? I asked Wendell at Magnepan that same question and he said: "If the amp doubles its power between 8 and 4 ohms you will be fine." In my experience, the Maggie .7 sounds best with class-A solid-state or a good push-pull tube amp. herb | |
| What Gear is Universally Adored? how long a component has been in production unchanged is probably a good way to define "adored." In which case, Denon's DL-103, the BBC's LS3/5a, Koetsu's Rosewood Signature, the Ohm Walch and F speakers, Klipsch "legacy" speakers, KEF's LS50, Aud... |
