| Seeking Rock&Roll Speakers If you want volume, you should be looking for speakers with a higher sensitivity than the Thiel's which is 87db. Since a 3db increase in sensitivity is the same as doubling amplifier power, a speaker with 93db sensitivity and your amp would be lik... | |
| Jamo D830 In Walls: What to do? A full 8' wall cavity with standard stud width is approximately a 3 cubic foot enclosure. I doubt that a .75 to 1.0 will sound very good, probably poor bass response with just an overall thin sound. | |
| Usher CP-6311 Tube Amp Recommendation I'm sure Usher has a very good reason to not recommend using a tube amp, possibly large dips in the impedance from the nominal rating, severe phase angle, or both. If you want to try a tube amp, you should at least use a tube friendly speaker to g... | |
| tube buffers Absolutely agree with Zd542, it makes better sense to spend $900 to $1600 on upgrades instead of just adding something to alter the sound. | |
| Replace 12AU7 with 6SN7 ? +1 for Rich, I agree. There are so many different 12au7's available. It makes better sense to just try a different 12au7. | |
| Advise on this speaker list The best integration is achieved when surrounds match front and center, so if you were to choose the T6 and center, then use PSB Imagine S5 surround. Subwoofer does not need to be the same brand as the other 5. | |
| Wiring main panel box for dedicated 20amp line. You're better off, if you really need another 20 amp circuit to do it on the opposite side.The breaker box should balanced on both sides, however dedicated lines for audio need to be on the same side. Searching the forums about this, dedicated lin... | |
| Buying Suggestion The KEF Q70 is within the parameters you list for speakers, and IMHO, is likely to have punchier bass and a more spatial sound if it had more power than the amp you are using. I would be looking for a more tube friendly speaker to use with a 30 wa... | |
| Wiring main panel box for dedicated 20amp line. IMHO, I would also run a second dedicated line for digital components only, and it needs to be on the same side of the breaker box as the other dedicated line. This will help with isolation to the analog components. | |
| Anyone used the Rogue M-180's to driveThiel 2.7's Telescope_trade, thanks for catching my error, looks like dyslexia got the best of me. Nevertheless, looking at the Thiel website, the CS2.7 has a nominal 4 ohm rating with a minimum of 2.4 ohms, even lower than the older 7.2. Considering the stat... | |
| Anyone used the Rogue M-180's to driveThiel 2.7's The impedance graph for the 2.7 shows it dropping well below the 4 ohm nominal rating. Take a look here,http://www.stereophile.com/content/thiel-cs72-loudspeaker-measurementsReading the last line in this review on the M-180 suggests using it with ... | |
| Which component is most responsible? Jmcgrogan2, haven't heard that one in a very long time, guess it's been around for years.This thread is reminding me about reading this some time ago,Put 10 audiophiles in a room to discuss a topic, and they will emerge with at least 11 different ... | |
| Which component is most responsible? Which component(s) is most responsibleComponents is correct, all of them. As Davide256 said, "This has to come from the source", then the preamp/amp must do its job to drive the speaker with this quality created by the source, and the speaker must... | |
| Best Used Amps. for Infinity RS-1B Speakers IMHO, it would be best to use identical amps that are extremely stable into a 4 ohm load, and more power than you are currently using. Do you have a budget? | |
| Subwoofer for "seamless" integration with Zu Druid I am very familiar with the Druids, having listened to them at a friends house. He bought them new, and they took many hundreds of hours to fully break in, with bass being the most noticeable during the process. His bass is so good, some have even... |
