    Adcom amps

    Adcom are very bright for horns, I have tried them with K horns and chorus2s, theyll rock loud and harsh. Ever consider tubes? If not, you will, and youll keep your klipsch around a long time. Adcom, youll sell the amp or the speakers. Or throw rock parties.....IMO
  3. I am currently using a audio technica 440 MM cartridge on my rega 250 arm with a planer 2 deck. I moved my rack with components to another room and ran the patch cords through the wall to my amps in my listening room. When I use analog with my 90 db/4ohm speakers I have to use large amounts of power to listen to music at 92db, so it seems I have lost alot of detail in my LPs. Can I use a moving coil cartridge without a seperate pre-phono? If so, any recomendations on which cartridge sounds the best with the rega/250 arm combo.

  10. Thats my area again! Francis was nothing but 35mph wind and rain. Charlie devistated, Ivan could Destroy Boca Grande.
  11. Craig, I am catching heat over in the VMPS forum on my Manley 250 choice. You have read the specs of my speakers and the Manleys, have you read the specs on the Ampzilla monoblocks? They are the same price as the Tubed Manleys but are SS. The veteran forum members are saying the son of ampzilla and ampzillas are far superior in dynamics, soundstage,and control over the Manley stuff. However none have listened to the Neo-Cassic 250s. Any help?

Anybody know this guy? labyrinthofquality http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5718303531&ssPageName=ADME:B:BN:US:1Bidding now at $150. I sent an email to him (citing our common city and lack of shipping, which he is picking up) and did place one bid (minimum increment) to get his attention, which immediately got outbid by da other guy. How do I stay in the running- this AUCTION SNIPE thing? What does it do, come in at the last minute and shuffle $$ until you reach your 'high' point? How does one determine one's high bid, when you want to get a DEAL! I mean, these are black heresies with holes drilled, probably for mounting in a club, so they ran all the time, woofers are blown, which can be fixed. What are they worth? I'd just like to win ONE bid for a change. Thanks. ---------------- I Won some LPs from that guy on ebay. I paid with paypal and Paypal rejected the payment back to me with a warning that he is using multiple e-mail addresses. I tried to contact him on this and he said he wants money order only. I SMELL A RAT!!!

  16. The problem I have is that I want tubes on my VMPS, they require alot of power. The Manleys are about the cheapest thing I can find in SET tube for the power hungry VMPS Ribbons.
  17. Nothing like 500 watts of SET. Im using these until Monday, If I like them on my VMPS's Ill be 5000.00 poorer.
  18. My new toys came today too, High Voltage for sure!
  19. I havent been able to log on to the forum since last thursday, I could access Klipch Main but no forum, was I suspended? Or did last nights huge Lightning storm loosen something up in my computer so I can log in again?
  20. Tilt it down, that what I have done. Measure the distance from the tweeters of your front speakers and center speaker to your nose in you listening position,and calculate you Ms delays accordingly.
  21. You can pick these up cheap and if you swap out the tubes for some NOS units, it will sound very good. You will not find a receiver for any price {unless theres somthing I dont know about] that will give you the sound quality of a $300.00 push pull intergraded tube amp {below 90db}. Study these forums wisely before making a purchase, it your money and ears.By the way, welcome to the forum
  22. Hey Josh, thanks again for getting me into LPs. Back in 1998 I sold my 89 k-horns to a guy from CHicago, he showed up in a 4 runner. We had to seperate the two tops from the bass bins, so the bass bins could be put in sideways and on their side facing each other , make sure you take the side panels off too. The tops go in face down, magnet sticking up, into the rear of the toyota. I hope this all makes sense. It will work.
  23. If you are able to bi-wire now without an active crossover , then you should be able to bi-amp the exact same way without an active crossover.
