| Is there a 300B type amp out there with some WATTS behind it? @audiovicker , I had a similar issue. My 300B wasn't cutting it and I have high efficiency speakers (about 100dB) in a good size room (16 wide, 24 long, 10' high). I tried push pull (Primaluna and Carver Crimson) to decent effect, yet I still mis... | |
| Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh @cymivka , I'm sorry to hear of your frustration. This must be especially annoying given the quality of your system. I agree with the folks who say try adding a pair of good subwoofers. I prefer REL. Keep us posted. It's always nice to see o... | |

| Speakers with deep/powerful bass In 1991, I had Cerwin Vegas. They could rip the roof off and keep going. So much fun. Funny thing is, they really weren't that bad of a hifi speaker. They weren't great either but they were all around serviceable. | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i Charles1dad, you are correct--it's a lot of amp for the money. Good to see you around these parts. You have a keen appreciation for our hobby and I always like hearing what you have to say. | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i Zerung, glad to hear you picked one of these up and like it. It does sound like you bought the 845 version, is that right? | |
| What's been your experience with New Chinese 6SN7 tube options? Thanks all. @jaymark Jaymark that is high praise! You also have very nice preamps! | |
| What's been your experience with New Chinese 6SN7 tube options? Thank you for all of this intel!!! Keep chiming in. It seems we have to look to China for alternatives given the war in Ukraine, and China looks to be upping its offerings. | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @chmaiwald , I highly recommend REL's T line. Very persuasive, musical subs. | |
| Dr, Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Great thread! I battle with this too. I do find carving out some alone time just to sit is very helpful. A glass of scotch and some cannabis can do wonders here too. Another thing I do if my Dr. J is getting in the way a lot is to deprive myse... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i correction--it may have been more than just two radio songs. I think Bob Ludwig may have remixed most of the album. | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @chmaiwald , Wow, I went back and listened to that Neurosis album. I wouldn't blame the amp for how this album sounds. The production seems intentionally nasty heavy. I don't listen to much metal or heavy punk though. Also, I'm in the minority cam... | |
| Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice? Roger Miller had a great voice to me because of the growl. Listen to Engine, Engine #9, when he says these lines on later verses: "I'm a little upset, yes" "Coming down the railroad line..." Roy Orbison was a superb singer that many couldn't m... | |
| REL speakon connection to amp vs speakers I agree with the above advice and REL's recommendation. You arguably get the amps flavor coming through with this method, | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i Status Update - I'm 3 weeks into owning this amplifier. It's a problem; on the days I'm not in the office or on the road (which has only been 2 during the holiday period), I'm getting little work done because I'm constantly listening to music! ... |
