I saw that film exactly once, in 1956, and it has stuck with me ever since.At the very least, this does not bode well for the person who falls asleep while listening.I'll try to keep my ears (and eyes) open.I remember a while back the later Lamm...

[quote user="dazzdax"]Hi Roman, FM Acoustics amplifiers from Switserland have been regarded by many audiophiles (mostly the ones with lots of money) as the best sounding (solid state) amps regardless of price. They even bettered the best amps from Kr...

Fremer has just pitched these in the new Stereophile, and the online buzz is building. Isn't D'Agostino the Krell guy? If these are different than the Krell amps, then how and why? Disclosure: I quickly dismissed the Krell offerings during my ...

[quote user="tokyo john"] Only reason I took notice again recently was because in the latest edition of Stereo Sound (Japanese audio magazine), an audio reviewer renowned for his love of dubious audio equipment (Krell and Magico speakers etc) rev...

There is a relentless prejudges that some subjects could be cursed and therefore they bring bad fortune.
“What might be less fortunate in audio then just persistent horrible sound?” – rhetorically asked Dan D’Agostino, the CEO of Krell Industries. ...

Hi there every one.A brief about system. Marantz transport---Acustic Arts DAC II-----Krell HRC preamp-----Krell FPB 600 class A amp---B&W 802.Previously i had a pair of carry 805 SET amps which drived Klipsch KLF 30 any how i was getting a good ...

I have found it useful to learn a little bit and also to remember what people have said about equipment they build. When I have had a chance to listen to the gear and compare what manufacturers have said with my impression of the...

Two "temporary" solutions worth considering:1) A big nasty Krell KAV 500i (stereo 2x250 into 8 Ohms; 2x500w into 4 Ohms; built-in preamp; excellent volume potentiometer; remote; holds resale value). Though the mid range and HF of Krell amps is not co...

Yeah, and I once thought Krell was the way to go, a boy's (or a man's) dream when I saw pictures of the KSA 100 poweramp for the first time. I must admit that in 1991 I heard a demo with Krell KAS poweramps, Wilson WATT/Puppy's + Pow Wow subwoofer an...

Romy, hi Firstly it's probably worth a few minutes about me and my preferences, this will probably add some context. I have 'preferences' and priorities that don't match everyones, but are somewhat consistent with my group of friends who have hifi s...

Today’s prices in Hi-Fi do not base upon any other principle then “whatever market bears”. The luck of objective evaluation methods and the completely un-liberated market of Hi-Fi consumers make the “market bearing” principles being completely not ap...

Actually I care less about the design philosophy in this case but rather about the result. Obviously the 150W-200W (200W?) of Zarathustra’s pure class A would be completely useless for my horns. I would like to have something to drive with that amp a...

Hi Roman, yes it is true that it is a bit foolish to refer to Krell and Mark Levinson, but I had to refer to some familiar brands that are in high regard among many of us. Many audiophiles from the Far-East (Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland China, Si...

You are right I think. He confuses his followers with this GIP review, his fans who sold their Tannoys and bought his recommendd Krell Lats and Magicos, but they will fall in love with him all over again when he tells them the latest Magicos got ...

I go to the Amtrans store a lot but have never listened to the GIPs because they are just too expensive (60k, 180k USD etc). But I think I was informed that these were fanatically replicated Western Electric speaker system concept, but where possible...

Yes, I understand, Klausner, and the idea of Classical Café is my long standing wet dream: http://www.goodsoundclub.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PageIndex=1&postID=5069I would very much abandon what I do now and run such operation, sometime I feel th...

I owned a Luxman LV-117 which I found pretty "right" musically driving some 93dB/w/m JBL's I had eons ago. In its time, there was a LV-103 which was also well regarded, but that I never listened to, so I cannot talk about it. They can ...

I agree i have been making mistakes even costly ones. I had taken the biamping route with cary and krell on B&W , and that was the purpose of getting both the amps, to get the best out of both ,,,,,,it turned out mixing oil and water,,,,,the most...

Merry Christmas!Nice woodworking job on your speakers.I have a couple if questions:Why did you select the drivers that you did?What made you select one horn for the midrange but for nothing else?What process did you use to select the crossover points...

Is my CEC TL0 stopped to work I was kind of suicidal as I do not feel to pay 10K for a new one and I will never find anything the sound as good. A friend of my suggested me to contact Nick Gowan who can fix CEC: http://www.tsound.com/inquiries.htmlPr...

Romy,The only card that seems serious is the Creative Live Drive series. They have the capability of encoding at HDCD sample rates and also have a front panal input / output fascia with many conntrols and buttons to explore and screw up with. I have ...

truth to be told, i'm so far from building a horn for S3 that the plans may change. the drivers actually haven't left a previous owner yet which makes me a bit nervous. but i understand you presume a short opening horn like expo would allow a more me...
