    Is it possible to connect a Pioneer SPEC-1 preamp to a pair of L-05Ms?

    Hi, I am asking a question about matching a pair of Kenwood L-05M mono blocks to a Pioneer SPEC-1 preamp. I have been lucky to find a pair of L-05Ms and a SPEC-1 that are not modified or damaged, still in good to excellent shape. My hope is to use them together I read a post (here in AK, I...

    Efficient 16 ohm speakers

    Hello, AK! I was up all night reading about a speaker’s efficiency and an amplifier’s damping factor that made me want to get what the title suggests. While waiting delivery of a NAD 7240PE and a Hafler DH-110/DH-120 set, I am currently using a cap coupled Kenwood TK-250 (KA-2500) that I feel...

    ADS, differences in sensitivity.

    Is this normal? I own a set of L570/2 and a set of L780/2 bookshelf speakers, both sound great and the 570's are dramatically more sensitive than the 780's. Both sets sound fantastic to my ears, but I have to turn the volume knob up a little more to bring the loudness of the 780/2s up to where...

    MicroSonic MS-3 with Schiit Rekkr amp

    Do more sensitive speakers sound more dynamic?

    I remember the pair of JBL 4311 owned by my dad. He drove it with Sansui AU-7900, and often played it loudly, with songs like this and this. No, it wasn't hi-fidelity, not to mention my dad loved to boost the bass using the integrated amp's tone control. But every music he played always sounded...

    General Question about Elekit TU-879s

    Alright guys, I've never really dealt with tube amplifiers in the speaker world and I'm just generally confused about why they seem to be sought after in some circles when they don't seem to ever have as much output power as even entry level receives and solid state integrated amplifiers. I...
