TVAD,
Sorry it took a little long to respond.
MY room is 15 x 19 with coffered 8 ft. ceilings on the front wall (speaker side) and on the back wall (behind the listening chair). The sensitivity of my speakers is 89 db, and I listen at levels that average around 90-93db. In addition my room is lovingly treaated with ASC products and Acousticmac products (it's a great sounding room...even if I say so myself). |
Sidssp,
Yes, I still have the VR4's (still great speakers...after all this time together!). I've done a lot of work though on the room, by adding room treatment. Don't know why I waited so long to do it! |
Sidssp,
Sorry, didn't answer your question. I'm thinking in the neighborhood of 300-500 watts (big Levinson, Cary 500MD, big Clayton maybe?). |
Lapierre,
That conditioner is a Running Springs Audio, Jaco. If anything, after I inserted into the system, everything was better......period. No and's, if's, or but's! |
WalkerTM,
Which BAT (or BAT's) do you like? |
Bar81,
You have a good suggestion (although an expensive one...even for used) with the Ayre's. Heard them at CES '08, driving a pair of the big TAD's... Holy maceral, they were great!! |
Narrod,
Interesting....I'll do some reading. Thanks for the suggestion. |
Kurt_Tank,
Great, great suggestion. I've heard those amps (although it's been awhile ago). I'll have to rethink all over ago now :-) |
Jmcgrogan2,
I think the Clayton M300 would be more suitable, as I'm pusing 100 watts now, and sometimes it runs low on steam.

Audiofeil,
I'm sure there are, but I have a kid I'm sending to private school, and a house in the burbs! Money is an issue. What suggestion you got in mind? |
TVAD,
Maybe so. The Passes would be great, but I listen to stuff loudly sometimes....(don't know what it is about those VR4's I have, but they just don't come alive until you put some juice into them!). |
TVAD,
You're right, something doesn't add up here. All I can say is that when I get up to levels around 95db, things get flat, and worse than that, the high frequencies seem to sound edgy....especially piano. |
NGjockey,
I also heard the Bryston 28's at 2008's CES, driving some Theils. They were outstanding, and I'd pick up a pair of 'em in a heartbeat at the right price. Retail, they are just out of reach. I've never seen a pair used. |
TVAD,
How do you impedance match an amplifier to a speaker? (By the way, it's Louisl...the last character is an alpha 'L', not a numeric '1') :-) |
NGjockey,
By the way...the Bryston 28B's are $8k each. |
