Bosendoefer speakers
I also heard the speakers in NYC. I felt them to be quite special in the midrange and treble. Remarkable, in fact. However, when the notes would drift into the low frequencies, I felt the sound became quite congested and wooly. It needs to be poin... 
Differences in tube sounds: 6550 / EL34
Dragan (Eldragon) is correct about the reliability of the Ei KT90. They are simply the best in that area. No other current production compares.If you need the added gusto of the larger tubes, the JJ KT88 are my choice. 6550 tend to sound quite fla... 
Would Jadis Orchestra work for Dunlavy IV?
First off, CONGRATULATIONS NILTHEPILL!!! Welcome to the Jadis family! Secondly, there has been a lot of great discourse in this thread. I'm really happy that you were impressed with the JOR. As I say over and over again, it is a crying shame that ... 
Would Jadis Orchestra work for Dunlavy IV?
Nilthepill, the interconnects really are something that is difficult to recommend. You should have the rest of your system completed, and use them to dial the sound that last nth degree in the direction you would like to take it. I will say that i... 
Would Jadis Orchestra work for Dunlavy IV?
Having owned the JOR previously, and now the DA30, I can say that the DA30 has NOT done a better job in driving the two pairs of loudspeakers I own. The JOR's "40 wpc rating" is really taken from the Orchestra, which uses EL34s, with smaller trans... 
What is biasing, regarding a tube amp?
Nice description, Aball.All I can add is that that fluctuation can sometimes be related to a tube aging, in which case it needs to be adjusted accordingly. Also, new tubes often go through a lot of change in the first 25 or so hours, so it's wise ... 
Need woofer repair
Tom, Bill is the finest speaker guy in the country. Your drivers will be returned working in very surprising condition. 
seperates over integrated. Why?
Thank you for your response, Stanhifi.At heart, I agree with you. However, that darn JOR was just so good sounding, that it ended up throwing my whole sense of things off. My mono tube amps, extensively modded Atma Sphere M60 MKIII and Granite 861... 
seperates over integrated. Why?
I also understand your point very clearly, Stanhifi. It all makes a lot of sense.However, while I was shopping for a new tube amplifier a while back, I happened to come across the Jadis Orchestra Reference. I guess after hearing it, a lot of the c... 
Favorite Tube Speaker Match
I guess I just disagree with the original premise. It is polypropylene, not paper, to my ears, that is dark, smooth, and rich. Most paper drivers I have heard are more light, clear, and fast. I think a lot of us bought into paper drivers being inf... 
I fell victim to a scam
Good advice, John. Thank you! 
Vifa Drivers and Tweeter
Vifa drivers are very good.This midwoofer I like in particular. Personally, I much prefer the D27TG45 tweeters, but if you have already built it, sit back and enjoy! 
open headphones AND speakers = Wow
I've never seen anyone doing this, but I do see people wearing both a belt and suspenders.But seriously, if it works for you, go with it. To heck with everyone/everything else. 
BEST LOW VOLUME FULL RANGE SPEAKERS?
Ah, now here in Krellm7's recommendation I have FINALLY found a suggested speaker I will agree with. Electrostatics! That being said, most electrostatics do not meet the 20 Hz bass/no subwoofer requirement, and they certainly do not meet the WAF r... 
looking for best speakers to match with small 25w
Philjolet, I'd gladly tip my hat to you if I gave them a listen and found myself in agreement with your perspective. They would certainly win my recommendation without hesitation. For now, I'll just give you the benefit of the doubt...Though my ex...
