| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 I have a Pass 250.8 on a pair of Wilson Sabrina in a neutral treated room. I run a Pass XP 10 pre amp and the system is neutral or possibly leans toward the warm side. I'd think that it'd be too warm if a warm pre amp was added into the system giv... | |
| Why this forum deletes full threads ? Uh probably because it's the right thing to do as so many feel it's appropriate to post their political and religious views here when its clearly not the right site for this stuff? Probably because many of us don't want to be bombarded with ... | |
| Von schweikert out of business since Albert's passing? I think it's inexcusable for a company to simply opt to no longer answer their phones and hope people exhaust themselves by hunting around to find them on facebook to "message" them. Seems to be a trend in the restaurant business too. I don't purc... | |

| Transmission line speakers! Transmission line use a long internal pathway. for the bass and are ported as I recall. IMF (Irving M Fried) were doing this back in the late 1980's and their floor standing speaker did indeed have deep, articulate bass. I think the design usually... | |
| Kef LS50s - great like me but need to come up for air Try a used pair of Klipsch Heresy or even Forte- they're relaxed, open, dynamic and super easy to drive. I've owned many Harbeth and some of the others you mention and I own a pair of KEF LS50 wireless too. I agree, all of these are "good" speaker... | |
| Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers I bought and received a pair of Wilson Sabrina from Larry Marcus at Paragon and hooked them up yesterday. Fantastic ! The right combo of musical and detailed with tons of new micro detail in music I've listened to for years - great soundstage and ... | |
| Subwoofer for music, how low? Virtually no music is down in the 20-40 hz range and I doubt the t9 can really deliver there anyway. I have a REL S5/SHO and properly set up in an acoustically tight 13x 22 listening room it does a great job of delivering deep bass- when I measure... | |
| How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers? So...I've dabbled on and off with Klipsch too after having polar opposite speakers in my system. I run a Pass 250.8 amp, Pass XP10 Pre, PS Audio DS Jr DAC and have a REL s5/SHO sub, with a JL audio F113 v2 on the way. I have a dedicated 13x22 list... | |
| Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers A pass 250.8, Pass xp10 pre amp, PS Audio DSD Jr set up. | |
| Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers @metaphacts I bought a pair of Sabrina (new in box), leftovers of the original version today from Larry Marcus at Paragon, fast, easy transaction, great price and completed in 30 mins. Looking forward to breaking them in... | |
| Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers @metaphacts Thanks for your note- I talked with Trent at Wilson last week in fact for advice on Sabrina X vs pre owned Sasha 1 or Sasha 2 and you're right the Chicago dealer is of course only selling pre-owned. Happy to call you this week regard... | |
| Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer @jjss49 Uh, I've never named the dealer in any of this conversation, not looking to start a flame war. Other's have and have indicated similar experiences but I've not named the dealer. | |
| Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer Cool @audioman58 - you're able to improve on Wilson's crossovers? Pretty impressive. | |
| Preowned Wilson Audio Chicago Dealer Yep, I used to run a hi fi chain in NY/NJ years ago - we had loss leaders (but we did really have them in stock and would happily sell them), we used them to attract customers on big holiday sale events... |
