When an amp puts out 90 watts....
You should have just said so. List your whole system and some basics on your room. I'm sure someone will be able to point you in the right direction. As far as room placement goes, thats a great place to start. You'll learn a lot just doing that a... 
When an amp puts out 90 watts....
Yes, I knew it was a tube amp but did not know that was characteristic of all tube amps. I just finished reading a thread with posts by Atmasphere and Almarg and others about amp design and was reading a review about the Copeland amp. The statemen... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Aargh! I go one day without checking this thread or reading my emails and the new web site comes out and the offer to find error comes in my e-mail.Well, I sent John a list of 26-28 errors. I am hoping at least four of them were ones you guys miss... 
What's with 4 ohm speakers?
Well, I guess I should have checked the thread again before posting because Atmasphere practically wrote just the opposite and I trust his knowledge about such things far more than mine. He didn't answer the OP's question, though, so somewhere alo... 
What's with 4 ohm speakers?
I don't know the answer to the OP's question but I do wonder if it has something to do with cost. Take a 4 ohm and an 8 ohm version of the same driver unit: Is it less expensive to manufacture the 4 ohm version?Four ohm versions are usually more s... 
7.1 SETUP
Ohm's are another excellent option. Ohm warrants new speakers for five years from the date of purchase and offers a 120 day home trial program which, to my knowledge, is unmatched anywhere. Further, (this from the Ohm website), "...if you find any... 
7.1 SETUP
Unless you can audition speakers, I would be careful about ordering a full HT set of speakers from some of the companies mentioned. For example, both Aperion and Ascend have very user-friendly return policies. Tekton has a 30-day trial policy like... 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
I don't know if it is a full and complete review or just the beginning, albeit a very substantial introduction, but Andrew Robinson's review of the 7.2 Tekton Pendragon Theater System is now up. I recommend the video clip he incorporates into the ... 
"What's The Best Value Speaker In $5k-$10k Range?"
...and I've found that in each area of life or hobby, there are gems available that might not carry the most popular brand name - or be the latest fashion - but that do deliver the best performance for the money.If, if, if, you can find them used,... 
JTR Noesis
I agree - the website leaves a lot to be desired. There is an extensive owners' forum at another website. The main owners' thread is 7000+ posts (the JTR Noesis thread is only a few hundred posts, so far,) however, I am not one to read through 700... 
Anyone Using Bose 901 speakers In A Home Theater?
Mitch,What did you settle on? I was going to put for your consideration some KEF Q900s all around - should be in a similar price range as the Bose. However, I thought Martykl offered better advice on the Mirage although I have not heard them. With... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Drakef5,Most Ohm users, if not all, (and I think it is all for those who have tried) report very positive results when giving the Ohms more power. While waiting for your Parasound, why not try an Emotiva amp? 30 day return policy... 
Jolida 502 KT120 tube swapping
Wolf,I have a Jolida 801. I like it well enough but having to turn the amp over to bias the tubes is a pain in the arse. Thinking about maybe going with the 502. I lose 10 watts (70wpc in the 801 vs. 60wpc) but my speakers are efficient enough tha... 
I heard Emotive bought Bob Carvers tube company
04-05-13: Wolf_garciaIf it makes Bob's tube stuff more affordable, it's a good thing.+1There is a podcast on the Emotiva website that discusses this acquisition. 
Argo's Oscar nominations look like...
I'm not sure the Home Theater forum is the best place for this thread, but I think AudiogoN should have a forum available for people to discuss ideas tangential to music and movies.
