T+A M40 HV mono review.
You can get by with a 15A circuit just fine. For the best quality sound however, I would recommend a dedicated 20A circuit as they are heavy hitting amplifiers. Most of the time you will never exceed current requirements unless your listening leve... 
Bruce Edgar
I owned Bruce's Titan ll with seismic sub speakers for 13 years. They were built for me in his shop in LA....all 1100 lbs. of them and I visited there before committing to buy.  I will never forget the thrill ride from LAX to his shop in his van. ... 
Recommendation for a replacement speaker cable
There a lot of good ones out there but I had a borrowing experience with both Audio Envy SP9 and a cheaper Tellurium Q Black Speaker cable. I believe AE has a money back and there are dealers who may allow you to try the Tellurium Q cheaper line a... 
High End Ethernet Cables ....Real Deal or Snake Oil
Supra Ethernet 8 from Madisound. They can help with bulk and the connectors. Great bang for the buck cable. 
Used Speaker in the 15k range
If you like lifelike timbre and musicality and dynamics with bass extension to 22K and a beautiful cabinet (made of 21 layers of wood) check out the Gamut RS7i (Ruby) up for sale right now. Extremely musical and possibly $15K would buy them. I kno... 
T+A M40 HV mono review.
+1 rower30This is a growing old thread but wanted to add my two cents. These M40 amplifiers were just reviewed by "The Absolute Sound" and will be appearing maybe by the end of the year (2020) in that magazine....stay tuned. I agree with the asses... 
Which brand of 45 tubes do you use?
Look at the recent posting under chakster and you will see the answers to your question.Some will depend on your amplifier but in general NOS are more musical under audiophile definition and much more economical. 
45 tubes for Yamamoto A-08s
I owned that amplifier along with the Jeff Korneff 45 when I owned my horns. I tried the EML solid plates in both amplifiers and thought they gave a much more HIFI rendition. Dynamics and bass were good but just not my cup of tea for a 45 and the ... 
What does the term "Speed" mean in a speaker?
I agree with most of the theories above for sure.  I also agree that the room acoustics have a lot to do with frequency dispersion and speed. To much absorption and or diffusion will have a profound effect on the fastest speaker production. It is ... 
Medium-priced balanced interconnects for a 6 meter run
Black Cat Coppertone and Purist Audio Genesis.....great bang for the buck. 
YBA PRODUCTS
The older passion that I own was their top of line made in France back in the late 90's to early 2000's. I believe when he sourced out the newer series but kept the Passion name only the Signature series is now made in France. Not sure when that m... 
YBA PRODUCTS
I own a pair of YBA Passion 600 monos and they are very musical. Mine were the baby brother of the highly regarded Passion 1000 and those models went away around 2007. YBA was designed by the owner Yves Bernard Andre from France and was highly use... 
Who Makes A Good Duplex Wall Outlet
I have now tried the Maestro (very organic with great bass), the Oyaide R-1 (good neutrality with rhodium coating), and last but easily the best to my tastes, is the all copper rhodium coated (cryoed treated) Furutech GTX D NCF outlets. Expensive ... 
Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz
This has been a topic forever and I think it all gets down to what you enjoy and what ones lifestyles dictate. This is really not only about this topic but audio in general. Both mediums can be very fun if you want to "devote" the time to it. For ...
