Hi knghifi!Can you explain more about what you mean by the E1 being less forgiving than the R1? Usually the words less forgiving refer to something that is more ruthlessly revealing, in other words, more transparent/detailed/etc. With the E1's mid... 
Anyone have/ordered the Job 225?
No two ears are the same and I think Srajan is out to space. I don't want to bash on the guy, but he's the most artsy fartsy thing I have ever read...it's "very difficult" getting through a sentence without laughing. This said, you could have purc... 
Pioneer S-1EX and S-2EX Owners
Only speaker I would consider is the Tad CR-1 or Tad Ref-1.I used a very clean 40ish watts. I use tubes. 
Tubes vs Solid State
1) I have heard tube amps that sound harsher than SS amps, vice versa, quite alike, and then of course quite different. I feel the further up in the bucks one goes, the more and more amps begin sounding more alike than they do different. It's almo... 
Mastersound Compact 845
Always try both taps because you never know what you may find out is how I have always done things. If these measure anything alike the S1EX's, and they surely should in the bass region, they will play a highly capacitance load down below 4 ohms (... 
Anyone hear Oritek Audio's new preamp/DAC?
I have one of the few that seem to be out there and it's absolutely brilliant sounding. It is the ONE piece (aside from my speakers) that I would NEVER replace unless something "revolutionary" came out that could replace it. I'm sure there are oth... 
Pioneer S-1EX Loudspeaker
Upon quite extensive, but not extensive enough listening/setup/etc., these speakers REALLY respond to position. I would even go so far as to say one could literally spend a good few weeks-months getting various different sound out of the speakers....

This speaker is in the house as of three days ago...woooohooo!!! I have the Pioneer 1EX as I wanted the BE dome. Maybe others cannot hear the difference but it was worth it for me since we are talking penny change for what we are getting back soun... 
Pioneer S-1EX Loudspeaker
Was reading earlier in the thread about the Tads vs. the Pios. Can people that have heard both say there is an indefinite difference between the two or that it's a matter of taste than it is one speaker being superior to the other? Way I see it is...

Hey Zeal,So you got around to enjoying the sound of the EL34's more than the KT88/90's? Have you ever gotten remotely close to clipping the amp/s at extreme volume levels or are you getting darn loud levels even with the amps not even using much p... 
Pioneer S-1EX Loudspeaker
Have you ever tried experimenting with smaller tube or transistor amps on these speakers? They seem very sensitive/efficient and I'm curious why many are using such high powered amps for these speakers. Perhaps better put, how much power do you th...

What did you find better between the Tad and the S2EX when listening to them side by side? Was it subtle or a real night/day type of thing? In other words, lets say you listened to both in an a/b OR even the Tad on one channel, the S2EX on the oth...
