Hello Falcon - Are the Belles still available? I'm still kinda new to the group and website. Please accept my apology if I have missed it. I'm sorry but I don't      see anything indicating SOLD.

Thanks for asking that question, Mushroomsound. I'm another newbie with the same curiosity. Is anyone with experience regarding the Decware line vs. the Chinese tubage willing to advise us? My Cornwall IIIs are pretty efficient so I'm wondering if the Klipsch/tube combination might provide the "magic" my Schiit solid state Vidar and Aegir combination seem to lack. Even with the Freya+ pre amp this combination doesn't sound bad - it just seems to lack something. Has anyone with similar experience found an answer switching to or somehow integrating a tube amplifier?

You are correct I have had a few Schiit pieces. I only still own a Sys as its handy in a few situations. I am not one to bad mouth gear etc... but to be frank The Schiit is not in the same league as the MK III monos. Dynaco MK III driving Cornwalls would be a match made in Heaven I have owned that combo in the past and heard that combo in others homes as well. Its hard to beat.

Thanks for your input, Joe. Sorry I missed your MK IIIs.

Hi Joe,

 

I find your Dynaco MKIIIs interesting. Maybe you'll be kind enough to advise me. I am currently powering my Cornwall IIIs and Fortes with a pair of Schiit Vidars with a Schiit Freya pre amp and a Schiit Aegir driving the Cornwall highs with a Schiit Saga as pre amp. If I remember correctly you have had some experience with Schiit. I think my current setup has plenty of power but somehow lacks the "magic" I had hoped for when I bought my Cornwalls. I wonder if something like the Dynacos would be better suited to my Klipsch speakers? What has your experience been?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

That's very cool. After sorting out my my previously disappointing Aegir with a Saga pre for my Cornwall III mids and highs I am pretty happy with my Vidar mono-block and Freya+ combination powering the lows and the Fortes in my system.

Coytee - I hope you'll enjoy Procol Harum as much as I do. The LP version has a terrific cover which doesn't translate real well to the smaller CD package. You didn't indicate which version you just ordered but they're all good. I think you'll enjoy it - even if you get the 8 track!

Unfortunately, Whiter Shade of Pale is not included but anyone who appreciates Procol Harum should check out one of the best live albums ever recorded:

Well, I'm glad I'm not completely alone combining Schiit and Klipsch. I'm currently using 2 Vidars with a Freya+ to power my old Fortes and new Cornwall IIIs. I like that a lot.  I am experimenting with an Aegir for the Cornwall mids and highs. Any advice on how I might manage the discrepancy between the output of the Aegir vs. the output of the Vidars?  

Was I expecting too much? Have I made myself a victim of unrealistic expectations? It seemed like a match made in heaven. So far, I am somewhat underwhelmed. As a novice, I suspect I am not doing this right. I'm listening to cds on an audiolab transport. On to Bifrost DAC. On to the Freya+. Balanced outputs from the Freya+ to the Vidars. SE RCAs to the Aegir. 

Thanks in advance. I would appreciate any advice from my more experienced friends.
