2Bmusic Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) Sadly not... He went to the dark side with McIntosh Why is McIntosh the "side-DaRk"? "GADDDD-ZOOOOKS" ....followed in kind! i almost did! Edited May 1, 2016 by 2Bmusic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakdown7 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Paul, do you feel McIntosh is not on the same level of quality as the VRD's/NBS? I've heard and owned some very nice Mac equipment over the years (both tube and SS...modern and vintage) and frankly, I miss that sound signature quite a bit now that it's gone. Never heard Craig's designs but always wanted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for this reply I am guessing he will say that the difference in sound between VRD's with MQ iron and Mac stuff is so close as to be of no consequence ??

paul79 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 It is transparency, emotional content, palpability.... McIntosh gear sounds great, don't get me wrong, especially the newer Mac gear. But tubes just get you closer. Closer to the real IMO. This coming from a guy that works on Solid State for a living. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This coming from a guy that works on Solid State for a living.Also other things come into play , like speaker sensitivity , I will guarantee you your pearls would have much more punch with solid state and more wattage . I think VRDS would be great for Klipsch speakers at 65W but will fall short with a more demanding speaker . I'd love for you to hook up my Rogue to your pearls , I bet you would be surprised Edited May 1, 2016 by A1UC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul79 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) Dude, I work on solid state. You miss that part? I have hooked up every solid state amp you can think of damn near, and the VRD's do just fine. Yes, solid state is punchier, NO QUESTION. That is what it does best. However, I get more focused and tuneful bass with the tubes in my system. Sensitivity of the speaker means very little. It is how easy of a load the speakers present to the amplifier. The Pearl's are some of the least demanding speakers on the planet, sensitivity be damned. I listen to solid state in the hottest summer month's. I like solid state. But I love tubes for critical listening. Edited May 1, 2016 by paul79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
