| Wyred 4 Sound STP SE and ST-1000 Bondmanp, if these are two different companies, why is it that the contact information for the Spread Spectrum Technologies Ampzilla 2000 amplifier is the phone number for Wyred 4 Sound and the e-mail address given is info@wyred4sound.com? Not try... | |
| A Great Deal on Audiogon Knghifi,I'm using just one pair of the CTRL 230s. Bass integration can certainly be problematical with the Trios (and the Duos), but the Trios can be crossed over at a lower frequency than the Duos, so I feel the bass integration is respectable (t... | |
| A Great Deal on Audiogon Keithr, you make the salient point--no subs included in the price. The seller is selling the subs separately for another $7K taking the price to a mere $20K! The speakers look to be in fine condition, and with subs, $20K is not unreasonable, but, ... | |
| 845 tubes for Cary 805 AE amplifiers Paulfolbrecht.Thanks for the response. I've read conflicting reports on the 845Bs. Some are specified at 100 W dissipation, and some state more than 70W dissipation. As far as sound quality, IMHO the 845B sounds somewhat dirty compared to the 845M... | |
| Avantgarde Trios, SETs, and Impedance Curves Hey Jls3, after all this time, someone with an actual impedance curve. Is the impedance plot you are describing coming from the older 8 ohm version or the newer Omega series rated at 19 ohms? I can't even begin to comprehend the 65 ohms at 950Hz a... | |
| Avantgarde Trios, SETs, and Impedance Curves Hi Ferenc,Thank you for your response.Given that your listening level isn't very high, I can understand you're not needing the additional sub, but I am convinced that there is a lot of ambient information in the low frequencies that can only be re... | |
| Anyone get to hear the new Selah 3D RMAF? Yes, I heard these at RMAF. Admittedly, the exposure to them was limited, and I've not heard any of Rick's other designs, but the sound of these struck me as being exemplary with a high level of linearity (harmonic accuracy), excellent dimensional... | |
| Avantgarde Trios, SETs, and Impedance Curves I guess I should check in here more often. I thought my thread was done in September. Thanks to all of you have responded here in November with some really helpful information and suggestions.Ferenc, your comment on the Altmann amp is truly intere... | |
| Questions Re: Time & Phase Alignment Paul, you are certainly on the right track in terms of the design principles that should ultimately lead to true fidelity in a loudspeaker. Unfortunately, there are always tradeoffs in every speaker design, and every implementation of a given prin... | |
| Senior Audiophiles - Audiophile since the 60-70's? Jnhapp, you raise an interesting question regarding CD (and MP3, though I don't feel that MP3 and "high fidelity" belong in the same sentence). Anyone who has been in this game since the 60's or before would surely recognize that every medium sinc... | |
| Avantgarde Trios, SETs, and Impedance Curves Gentlemen, thank you all for the additional suggestions. Tim, you make a great point about Jim Smith and the Audiopax. I will look into these.Richardmr and Tubes108, I have a local Art Audio dealer who has a PX-25, so I can borrow it just to get a... | |
| Avantgarde Trios, SETs, and Impedance Curves Gentlemen, I truly appreciate your suggestions, but the reason I bought used Trios was because I truly couldn't afford new ones. As such, I'm probably not going to be able to spring for power amps in the $20K to $50K range either. Charlie, the Tro... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Rockadanny, I suspect you've figured it out by now, but after reading the posts by Gawdbless, you know why low-fi and mid-fi exist. Geez, I wonder what drew him to this site? I suspect he could find nirvana on E-bay in the boom box section. | |
| TRELJA almost In New York, 2006 Joe, great job on reporting the VTV show. I got that you were very favorably impressed with the Horning room, so perhaps I should give them another listen when the opportunity arises. I was pretty hopped up about them (from what I had read elsewhe... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Stevecham, old chap, you need to get out more. If Thiel and Vandersteen are the only two "accurate" speakers made, then why do they sound so different from one another?Two of the greatest "keepers" I've known are the original Quads and the Beverid... |
