| Amplifier Weight. A Factor? Efficient speakers enable you to pursue high performance amplification without heavy weight. A side benefit lies in being able to buy high quality low power for the price of medium quality high power. My main amp weighs 12 lbs. and my sub amp weig... | |
| Is Bi - amping worth the trouble? Blindjim,You're welcome. I'm happy to hear that you find me helpful.Passive bi-amplification amounts to sending the signal from two amplifiers into the speaker's passive crossover and, unless lack of power is an issue, does not differ substantiall... | |
| Best 1-2K class D or class T amp? Red Wine Audio Signature 30 is stirring things up right now. | |
| Entry level tube integrated to replace T-Amp? Two possibilities I've liked which, of course, are not on your list are the Onix SP-3, a 38 watt tubed integrated with two inputs and my present amp, the Red Wine Audio Signature 30.The Onix delivers what your looking for from a tube amp but the R... | |
| Have you tried Red Wine? The Signature 30 arrived at my front door 3 days ago and it is as Dmason says. Fast and gentle sounding. Emphatic about presentation and as articulate as the real thing. Every sound is conveyed as a distinct entity. I can't really support the SET ... | |
| Is Bi - amping worth the trouble? Blindjim- Your interest in bi-amping seems to be driven by boredom or curiosity more than need. And, while bi-amping might be an available option, your speakers were not designed with that in mind. I believe that the Vandy and VS speakers mentione... | |
| The best sounding FM Tuner is..... I went from an Accuphase T-101 to my KT 917 and found that the Kenwood was quieter and had a greater sense of precision in both function and presentation. The T-101 was softer sounding and the 917 seemed more honest due to higher resolution. They ... | |
| Are the Beatles the reason why modern music exists Modern music was all over the radio before Reagan knocked down the fences that kept corporate monopoly at bay. Now one corporate force influences virtually all of our highest profile radio. They get to decide what is heard and who gets airtime. Yo... | |
| Recommend Speakers For Yamamoto I believe Rocky said this system was for his office when he works overtime. That says background music to me. It also suggests limited space and likely bad place to share with hot tubes. I suggested the Zu Druid because it works well near field, i... | |
| Are the Beatles the reason why modern music exists Love the Beatles. Always have. Can't say they are the reason that modern music exists any more than I could credit Carroll Shelby with being the reason that modern cars exist. Both were influential in the evolution of their crafts but I am pretty ... | |
| The best sounding FM Tuner is..... I'm currently using a very nice old Amber 7 tuner. Still own a Kenwood KT 917 which I'm not going to replace because FM content in my area doesn't justify it. However, I have to say I am surprised this tuner was not specifically mentioned at all. ... | |
| Recommend Speakers For Yamamoto I may have misunderstood. For some reason I was under the impression that you already had the Yamamoto. If you have not bought it yet, consider this as a better alternative for your office. http://redwineaudio.com/Signature_30.htmlIt will be excel... | |
| Audio Debt? I financed my first system in 1973. I had forgotten that until I read Ozfly's confession. Ever since then, I have provided myself with upgrades by trading audio equipment. In fact, after thirty-odd years of swapping, I'm very sure that I have no m... | |
| Loudspeakers that go LOUD? I've come to believe that the use of high efficiency speakers is the key. Consider a pair of Zu Druids. At 101 db efficiency, they will deliver much more SPL than you will require in that room without any breakup using your present amplification. ... | |
| NHT 2.9s - what amp is for me w/small/med budget? I owned NHT 2.9 speakers for several years and had good success driving them with a Classe 70 so I know you don't need enormous power. Try to find a Plinius integrated. I bet you can cover your needs for under $1200. No need to mess with bi-amping... |
