What is sitting on floor inside of left bass radaitor? Looks like two bullet tweeters? I assume he is just putting them there for storage as there is nothing inside right channel.He must be getting a lot of sound out of the back of those woofers righ...

I heard the Audio Note AN-Es, they were pushed back into the cornes in specially prepared room and they wer very interesting. Dynamics were world class, cellos were extremely hairy, piano left hand was tremendous, everything you said. Still, the elec...

Attentuators plugged directly into the RCA jacks sounds like good solution for balance control, though I will check Placette first for cost of adding second remote controlled sensor, thanks romy....
|
|
Hi Romy,I wish I had seen your post on Placette before buying mine. I didn't realize that there is no balance control on the unit. I know in theory this should not be a problem, but I miss this feature for several reasons. Can't hav...

Just a brief note on my recent addition: Placette Active preamp. Due to a recent purchase of Tannoy Golds, I had the opportunity to pull an old McIntosh SS amp out of the closet recently. This amp has gain controls, so I tried running it ...
|
|
I hope you do find some amplification that works, or new "way" of using the tannoy, as these driver still have several tricks up their sleeves, especially when compared to the hordes of mass crap that's for sale. What you refer to as the "deen ...

I am using them with 200 w/channel SS amp in very large sealed cabinets. The room they are in is quite large and the honey bass has been less of a problem than the MF tone. When I play my bartoli baroque CD (live in italy), dynamics...

Romy,I think there are many of us that follow your audio endeavours with a lot of interest and a lot of envy. I'm not talking about having the money to buy the Vitavox S2 etc.. I wish I had the ability to come up with interesting speakers/ampli...

Oh I read your post again, the AE-Europe transformers were another example of large amorphous that I probably wouldn't need...the lundahl's are available here in france and they are expensive at all, I'll probably get those. thanks...
|
|
Thanks for explaining, I understand now and yes I will not need to look at the Tribute transformers yet. AE europe sounds fine to me, they want around 450 euro each and I'll check on how long a wait. If the Tribute guy does come bac...

I have the 515-Gs If I remember correctly, and I am trying to find suggestions on what is proper horn-loaded cabinet still. And I agree my tannoy golds so far have worked best with early 70's mcintosh 2205 (200w/channel). Otherwise I am a...

|
I'm going to try and build a Melquiades type amplifier (with some help from friends) following the advice given above to make it as simple as possible. I could spend more money for "different" transformer, but I will ask you for advice on...

That is very interesting post Romy. I noticed that I have changed a lot of CD-Players and Dacs over the years until I found the sound I wanted, but only had to change my Tuner once, and my analog playback has been the same for years and years n...

A strong second-recommendation of the 1977 Horowitz recording of the Liszt(RCA 12548 here in France). It is a superb sounding LP as well. For some reason I can't listen to anything Argerich lately, maybe it's because everytime I have ...

and thanks for one of my favorite audio/music websites.
Regarding Chung, he is also one of my current favorites and I am lucky enough to live in France where he is conducting quite often. He has conducted a Scherezade in 2003 with Orch Radio Fran...

That may halfway-explain my reaction to the performance. Despite the 1st level listening being remarkable with the live broadcast, I had to fight myself not to turn it off...I would have thought you would be fan of sym. 11 (kondrachine conductin...

There is a live performance of this on the radio this evening, Truls Mörk playing with the Orchestre de Paris, Eschenbach conducting. The interpretation has no life at all, plodding, almost pointless. It almost gives the impression of badly con...
|
|
Those are my favorite versions as well, and it is hard to choose which to play! I imagine that the busch will be hard for people to find, but worth the effort. Switching the conversation to Cosi Fan Tutte available on CD, it is interesting to s...
