[speakerman1]

I don't know why ; but any time I start to build a system I start with the amp and work from there. Always have don't know why.

SENERGY !! speakers first, then the amp

Actually the room makes a good start, the whole reason I got the house I have now was the room, I was house sitting for a co-worker and some friends came over to watch the race, Dale said "Ya know this room would be perfect for the ML's"...so that was that, I killed my co-workers and moved on in

Start with the interconnects.They're generally least expensive (for most sane people)
including Stu!

Speakers don't do crap by themselves, that's why.

Been shopping a little bit for an amp for my living room setup. The question is how Hi-end do I want to go. I was just looking at some Krell amps.There is another couple questions on my mind. Do I go tube or SS? Do I go monoblocs or a 2 channel. Haven't looked at speakers. May give Danny a shout some Line Arrays or maybe check out some B&W. So if you could go Hi-end what would you pick? No Macintosh. Not even a consideration.

[speakerman1]

Well from what I read I like these speakers.

They aren't very efficient. Will see how much he really wants for them.

I've never heard the KEF 105.4s, but it was one of my favourite looking speakers of the time. Remember when 1980's stereo magazines would come out with an Annual Buyer's Guide? All the components were broken down into price categories. I would scan through the most expensive products, first. I know the Infinity Reference Series was the most expensive at the time for consumer speakers. The KEFs were almost affordable.

[speakerman1]

Yes I treated that issue like it was the Sears catalog when I was a child. LOL Just sit there a drool.

I have a set of Cary, 100 watt monoblocs, complete with a groovy little stand you might consider, lightly used, mainly to hold down the cabinet they're sitting on.

 

[speakerman1]

You really don't like them? I'll email you. You better think long and hard about it.

Larry

 

[laatsch55]

I'm not a tube man, come to find out.

 

[speakerman1]

You want my Fedex number? LMAO

Larry

 

[speakerman1]

I'll trade my PL for them? LOL

Larry

 

[laatsch55]

Na, you don't want to part with the PL. With Joe's new board it will be a phenomenal amp. You do remember that it went back to you on the condition that it got this upgrade when it was available, and that was included in the original fix it pricing?????

 

[speakerman1]

No I don't remember that. Can you give me the cap values then for the new board. I'll see if I can find some more black gates w/o breaking the bank.

Larry

 

[laatsch55]

In Joe's design there is only 1 electro in the signal path, no ceramics whatsoever, only mica and polypro, and a Polyphenylene sulphide(never heard of those), so blackgating this one won't break you. He has specified Nichicon KZ for the other electros so it ain't no slouch. You think it sounds good now?? You ain't heard nothin yet. Your outputs are also getting upgraded to MJ15024 On-Semi drivers and MJ 21194 On-Semi outputs, F*&^%^& bullet proof!! Yours will be right after i finish Jerry's.
