Tube amp decision - Thoughts
Desalvo55:I will offer an alternative to amp replacement and throw out the notion of trading within Tyler Acoustics' line to the full-sized Woodmeres. Providing your room is large enough to utilize a speaker of that size, you might find that the r... 
Anybody Heard the CODA 15.0 Amplifier?
Giving it another try..... 
Pass XA Monoblock Amps
Bingo, Almarg!I have recently moved from Tyler's Woodmere 2 to the new-style full-sized Woodmeres, and I am getting to know the speakers pretty well now. Tyler had told me that the Woodmeres are 90db, calculated theoretically based upon the crosso... 
LAST Record Preservative. Do you believe?
I have been using LAST products since I first learned of them in the mid-1980's. Yes, I believe that they offer a modest improvement in overall smoothness and sonics. I don't re-play the same records often enough to comment on the preservative val... 
Integrated Amplifiers with neutral sound
I second Timlub's recommendation. I have had my CODA CSi for about 4 years and still love it. 
What are you 'TRULY' Looking for in Loudspeaker...
Shadorne>> your description is just about the same as mine...for my ideal woman! Just add push-up bra, hair color and swish of the hips when she walks and you've got her nailed perfectly! 
Must Hear Speakers in $10K range
Tyler Acoustics Woodmere and Decade D10. He is now making a new version of the venerable Woodmeres with revised cabinet design and rear ports. I suggest calling Tyler directly, as he will gladly answer any questions. 
Quad ESL's-Which One's Are The Best?
I had a long-lasting love affair with My ESL 63s until recently parting with them. With a clean front end and a subwoofer for about 70Hz down (I can't remember my setpoint), they are truly hard to beat for most everything but larger orchestral wor... 
Tyler Acoustics my experience
Jfondell:You are slightly hijacking this post, but I'll jump on board for a good cause. I'm using a CODA CSi integrated amp with my Woodmere 2s. Those speakers are less efficient than yours, so you may not need that much juice. I am very, very sat... 
Should I bother to try a subwoofer?
Yes, you are missing something, especially with classical music. Try a sub, but don't cross it over too high, and don't turn it up too loud. If your monitors are rated down to 40 Hz, try crossing over at 45 and 50 Hz. With good recordings and good... 
Need Recommendations for SS amp for 2 ohm load
Check out CODA, made in Sacramento, CA. Excellent sonics and stability in driving difficult loads. 
Coda CSIb - what loudspeaker would be perfect?
Mikefi:Responders are waxing on about what you might have done differently. I will respond to your actual question. I use Tyler Woodmere 2 speakers powered by my CODA CSi with great success. Many strong points; no weak points. Numerous other CODA ... 
Recommendation for Subwoofer for Dahlquist DQ-10s
I'm not laughing, Planerguy.... your method is exactly as I did it, although I used an Audio-Pro B2-50 at the time. People can get the wrong ideas about the function of a subwoofer. In classical recorded music as the prime example, you don't reall... 
High End Audio and Your hearing as you get older
DJohnson54 is right. When I started my high-end journey 29 years ago, I was 18 years old, and my mentors were in their 30s, 40s and 50s. I remember being shocked that my buddy in his early 50s could not hear the hiss and cracks on our favorite LPs... 
powering the Dahlquist DQ-10'
All the above responses are good. First, figure out what you ultimately want from these speakers and proceed carefully. I purchased my first pair in the early '80's just after entering college, and at the time, I was using my Harmon-Kardon receive...
