| Harbeth SHL 5 amplification I am currently talking to a customer about this exact speaker with a desire to driver it with my Diavolo which is a 10W SET. Incidentally I am advising against that. The issue is headroom for dynamics. The question is at what level do you usually ... | |

| HELP ... Need Advice/Recommendations on Tube Amp Be aware, the Rogue Stereo 100 is really a 50w or 55w amp in Triode mode which is how you are likely to prefer listening to it. The 100wpc is in Ultralinear mode where you will get tighter bass but lose a lot of the detail and nuance that make tu... | |
| PS Audio or Ayre? I own both and have the K5xeMP and the BHK. The Ayre is an amazing value and at the prices you will find it used and even new unless Ayre has run out of stock. It has 2 balanced and 2 unbalanced inputs and no headphone amp. That being said, there ... | |
| Tube amp Low end Bass question There are some relatively high powered SETs but the more power the pricier they get. What is your budget (the MC275 is $5750)? Do you have room above that? Stereo or mono-blocks? I sell SET and Push-Pull units for Art Audio but my stuff is a b... | |
| Tube amp Low end Bass question You could consider trying a SET from one of the retailers who offer it with a generous return policy. If it is inadequate, return it. Usually you are risking $75 in shipping charges. I doubt a 300B SET will deliver enough power but an 845, 211, or... | |
| Tube amp Low end Bass question Those Omen's will sound amazing with a tube amp. You need 15w to 18w to drive them well with plenty of headroom to hit 105dB for music. The MC275 is a lovely amp but you will find a SET will sound heavenly in comparison and your speakers are mor... | |
| Infinity Kappa 8's with a Krell KAV-300i? I had those speakers and they have a minimum impedance of 1.7 ohms. They are also relatively bright. If you stick with them I would look for a tube amp that is stable at 2 ohms. They are actually relatively efficient and you don’t need a ton of po... | |
| Any one else like the class D ICE power amps? I am bringing a line of subwoofers to market and am going to be using ICE Powered Amps. | |
| Tube pre for class d recommendations I have a Rogue Hydra which is a hybrid Class D and have had it paired with three preamps for extended periods of time and was very happy with all three. Ayre K-5xeMP, PS Audio BHK and Art Audio Composer. The latter two are tube units. I also tr... | |
| anyone know anything about primaluna gear...... I would expect Upscale Audio to steer you toward PrimaLuna. The owner of Upscale Audio is one of the owners of PrimaLuna. That being said, PrimaLuna gear is excellent for the money. They are a very strong value and they should steer you toward it.... | |
