    Bryston amp 7B ST with Infinity RS 2.5

    I was get ready to hook these up and noticed on the back it says to wire speaker in series for down to 4 ohm and parallel down to 1 ohm. There is a switch to pick one of them. The Infinity's 2.5 are rated at 4 ohm but I have read they drop lower. Is anyone familiar with this and which way would...

    speaker popping

    I have a set of JBL L300's. It has developed a popping in one speaker. It's not a constant popping but 1 or 2 loud pops every couple of minutes. Sometimes it looks like the woofer will jump out of the speaker. I am driving them with MC 30's thru a modwright swl 9.0 tube pre. I at first thought...

    Speaker placement NS1000

    I am ready to change my den system around. The only place for my speakers are in cabinets about 6.5 feet high (ceiling is 9 feet high) and 14 feet apart. The cabinets are 3' wide by 2' deep and very sturdy. I built a rack to slightly aim them down probably about 10 degrees. Currently I have...

    MC30's Popping

    I have a pair of Mc30's that have been refurbished by Audio Classics within the last 3 years. They are playing fine but one of them has a pop pop when 1st turning on. I did have a tube go bad just prior to this. I put in a new correct size tube. What is causing this ? I have to think it has...

    Bel Canto e.one series

    I am looking for a small footprint system and really like the Bel Canto e.one series. I am looking at 2 scenarios, 1) C5i integrated with the network stream (I read the DAC is nothing to write home about) or 2) Ref 500s stereo amp with Dac 2.7 and stream. #2 will cost a little more but with a...

    Darts HT system

    Has anyone heard the Darts system. I am kind of intrigued with this system. It comes with speakers and amp, you have to add your own processor. Each system is programmed to your room sq foot before it leaves factory. The speakers have no crossovers. Each driver is hooked up to amp that acts as...

    Holy Cow

    Auburn to the final 4 for the 1st time ever. We had to beat New Mexico St (only 4 losses all year), Kansas, North Carolina and Kentucky. No small feat. Oh and I listen to it on my McIntosh tuner to let some audio mention in here. I really did listen on the radio, CBS had sound troubles. WDE

    Tube help

    I have a VTL TL5.5 preamp early model with phone stage. It has 2 12ax7's and 4 12at7's. I am getting a loud hiss from all sources, it does not increase with volume knob. It's not so loud that I hear over the music but loud enough to hear without anything playing. I think I have narrowed it down...

    Look what I won last night

    Last night we attended a fundraiser for our local Art Museum. I purchased 3 $100 raffle tickets for use of a Jaguar F Type or F Pace for 1 year and they drew my ticket. I think I will go with the F Type. My wife drives a Buick Enclave so we have the SUV already covered. I can keep my truck and...

    Anybody have a VTL TL5.5

    I got one of these a partial trade on another preamp. I have this paired with mc30's, JBL L300's, VPI TT, D150 dac with Heos streamer and CDT. I believe it be a early version. I have a couple questions. With the volume only turned 1/4th of the way it will blow you out of the room, is this normal...

    D150 digital preamp

    I sold my preamp and am using my D150 until I replace it. I assume its ok to run my MC 30's thru the D150. Obviously it doesn't have phone pre or any analog inputs in it so I was wondering if the following would work in the meantime. I have a MP100 phono pre that I could go digital out to the...

    Infinity RS 2.5

    Does anyone know if I Bi-wire (not bi-amp) these will I be bypassing the crossovers? I am thinking that would be a bad thing. Will I gain anything by bi-wiring? I just got these and trying to decide what speaker wires to use, I have both.
