| Tonal Balance of B&W 802 D3/D4 vs the D2 Generation @nyev , I'm with the same opinion as you. Coming from the Nautilus and S series, I jumped into D3 series in 2018. After 5 years of component pairing struggle with various amps (Class A, Class AB, Class D...etc) and DACs and cables, I found no pl... | |
| B&W line up In general, the older B&W 800 series has warm and full sound but less high resolution transparency. Each newer generation uses better crossover components and speaker cone materials to increase the clarify and resolution but in a compromise b... | |
| B&W line up I can help here. I'll keep it simple and stick to the 800 series. Essentially the smaller the number, the bigger the speaker. 805 is the smallest bookshelf speakers of the 800 series (been this way since the early 90s) then 804 is the smallest ... | |
| Mcintosh MC-1502 tube amp hi ghdprentice, thanks for your thought, I have owned a Class D Mcintosh MC-152 amp and recently been listening to their Class AB Mcintosh MC-462, in general I find their SS amps too relaxing (lack speed and dynamics) while at the same time not lu... | |
| "warm" solid state integrated amplifier Hi tubelss, Short answer: get Class A amp or full body midrange speakers like Harbeth Long answer: Just sharing my exact same experience at this very moment, the problem you're looking to solve is 'synergy' not just an amp. As I aged from late... | |
| good hifi store in Bay Area Thanks for all the suggestions folks. | |
| Best amp for KEF LS50 LS50 is a not an easy speaker to drive as it spends much of its low mid range and bass frequencies between 6ohm and 4 ohm. Solid state amps that fail to provide adequate current into those lower impedance range would result in higher frequencies ... | |
| EL34 in triode vs 300B/845 SET Thanks for everyone's continuous suggestions. I ended up doing two things in the past two days. I got a EL34B PP with triode / ultralinear mode capability on sale from Amazon just so I can try things out on the cheap as experiment. My dad who g... | |
| EL34 in triode vs 300B/845 SET thanks trelja and salectric@trelja, I've also actually been eyeing Consonance Cyber880A with 2A3x8 in pp. But doesn't going to pp design automatically cancel out the crystal clear clarify signature of SET? I have no experience with triode tube i... | |
| EL34 in triode vs 300B/845 SET thanks trelja for the first hand feedback on Consonance amps!thanks for everyone else's continual feedbacks, so many choices... so little money... sob sob | |
| EL34 in triode vs 300B/845 SET Thanks Kalali and atmasphere, good tips. | |
| EL34 in triode vs 300B/845 SET Thanks my current budget is $2500 but willing to save up more and get something that makes sense down the road vs keep buying and selling. I'm just a regular white collar Joe so naturally I'm trying to spend as little as possible. If I'm to aban... | |
| EL34 in triode vs 300B/845 SET Thank you all for your thoughts so far. I love the clarity and transparency of 300B SET, guess this is the famous addiction. I'm holding off on moving to a used large Class A SS like Mark Levinson for now. Couple clarification I have for anyone... | |
| EL34 in triode vs 300B/845 SET hi mboldda1, i'm located around Seattle area.trelja, how would you describe EL34 vs 300B? I listened to a Primaluna Dialouge Premium HP at local dealer through a pair of Living Voices Auditorium. Honestly while it was very good I wasn't complete... | |
| EL34 in triode vs 300B/845 SET Thanks glenn for info. Yeah, I've been pleasantly surprised with 300B SET, seems that many people have the false assumption that 300B SET is automatically bad for anything non-flat 8ohm and less than 92db sensitivity. I started with NuPrime ID8,... |
