| Audible Illusions Modulus 3A Gain?? moving coil DP, I have just done the same research and sent away for one (used). My research indicates that there is plenty of gain, and that you should have no problem. I think someone who has one in house will confirm this for you. You can also change the l... | |
| "do it yourself" acoustics Full bookshelves on side walls - both, to get rid of the squareness or your room? | |
| Helping a friend put together a sub-$1000 system The Epos sound real good with the NAD 320BEE - I put a system together for a friend with these. A good front ported speaker that went well with the BEE is the Linn Tukan, but you'd be lucky to get them for $400. The work well close to walls. | |
| Harbeth Compact 7's Rlmm - I like the way the sound with my Odyssee Stratos Dual Mono (180 wpc), and they also sounded really good with a Plinius 102. From what I've read you are right, they are generally favored with SS amps over 150 wpc. Good luck and tell us what ... | |
| GMA Europa owners, what amps do you use? Anyone have suggestions for integrated amps that could be used to construct a more budget oriented system with the Europas? I've heard that some vintage SS integrateds can work well with these speakers. | |
| To Hot to Handle? The EAR 509 mkii isn't too hot (relatively), using two PL509 output tubes to put out 100 watts per monoblock. It's also a wonderful sounding amp. But I don't live on the east coast! Neither it or the Berning are under $2500 though. The Berning (wh... | |
| what spkrs work with an 8008st??? A fellow with Quad from England told me that he thought this amp combines fabulously with the 988's. I don't know if that is something you would consider. | |
| Odyssey Stratos/Ayre V3/or CJ MV-55 Just for your information, the Stratos is a great amp but does have an input impedence of 10 kohm. You'll want to make sure your preamp has <1000 ohm output impedence. | |
| Constructing Stands for Quads Thanks Newbee. Good advise. I will experiment using cinder blocks first. The room I'm currently in (part of a rental house) has somewhat bloated bass response with the Quads on the floor. However, I plan on moving into another house in the next si... | |
| Constructing Stands for Quads Whoops, did I say "coasters"? I meant "castors". | |
| What am I to do about I've got the Stratos dual mono amp, and it is definitely not harsh. It can't be the culprit. I play it with Harbeth Compact 7's and a NEW 12AX7 preamp, and the whole system is very warm. The amp has a very low input impedence (10k) - so if you dec... | |
| compact bookshelf speaker for my system The Epos are very nice sounding - I installed them in a friends system and we were both pretty amazed. However, they are rear portin, and that would present a problem in a bookshelf. | |
| Source for volume control knob Try Newark electronics - they've got a huge variety. | |
| i hate to ask but I Really Need Help Try making sure everything is plugged into the same outlet (use a power strip if necessary) and see if it goes away then. If it goes away, there is a differential b/t the two outlets. | |
| Selling speakers here at Audiogon How about putting them in CLEAN plastic bags prior to packing? |
