Hi, I tried Crown DC300A Series II, a vintage power amp that I bought on ebay, with lots of expectation. Preamp was Mcintosh C29, and Adcom GTP 500, and I tried both on my 4311 and 4343. The outcome was quite disappointing in terms of the quality and loudness of the reproduced sound, compared...
My amp set up start to date now and I am afraid I will have to upgrade soon. At the moment I used a french JDF-AUDIO amplifier model HQS2400 upm. this unit offer 200w per chanel and is dated 1994. 15 years means that components are tired ! I was thinking to purchase a new one or what else ?...
Hi All, been scouring the ads for a Soundcraftsmen amp for a couple months to power my L7s. For those being auctioned, there's a huge disparity in bidding activity, with some getting near 30 bids, while others not a nibble. Considering there are models from the 70s through the 90s, are their...
<3 Yamaha http://gotnorice.dnsdojo.com/Yamaha/DSC05543.JPG http://gotnorice.dnsdojo.com/Yamaha/DSC05545.JPG Had the M-2 previously and got what nearly amounts to it's professional cousin of an amplifier. Same wattage output, etc. The best part being that I can run each amp per pair of...
Hello all. I have a question pioneer receivers or sansui receivers. which one sound better or more musical detail. I had the pioneer sx 1280 and I still have the sansui g-7500. I think they both sound great but my personal thoughts are the sound of the sansui is a little more sweeter. I have a...
Hello, I'm from Italy, and is the first time I write here. I have a pair of L65A, which are now amplified by an old Nad 3020, but i will try an amp more refined yet sufficiently powerful (price range about $1800). Can you give me some advice? I prefer the solid state but ........ all...

I'm mulling the idea of buying a couple of PS-400 amps for an existing 5 channel basement system. I like the level countrol feature which is not present in many other consumer power amps since my two speaker pairs have different sensitivity ratings. Anyway, I'm a dunce on electronics and I'm...
Hello everyone :-) I came in looking for some help, since I have no clue on professional audio systems. I got a vintage Marantz 3300 preamp from a friend, and I´d like to make it sound. I´ve been told I´d need some power amplifyer and a pair of speakers for it. Which ones would be suitable and...

What is a good amp,especially Yamaha, to use with these speakers? I have a pair of JBL L166s , Yamaha C-4, Yamaha M-2, Yamaha T-70, and a Nak 481Z cassette deck at home until I get a bigger place. I got the JBL P30s for my office. The spec sheet states that the power range is 10-80 watts. The...
I plan to biamp my XPL-200A's, passively at first, and eventually actively (As soon as I can get or fab a DX-1 LOL). Currently not able to even use them until I finish a home remodel, but was able to use Carver TFM amps for a while. Results were very good, but I'd like to get input from forum...
Can a Phase Linear 700 power amp comfortably operate at a four ohm load? Haven't seen much mentioned about these amps, are they desireable and good performers? Are they compatible with different preamps? :bouncy:
Is any one using this 200 WPC amp? I just scored one on Flee-Bay a few days ago for cheap ($275 USD). I assume this amp is >20 years old. Typically, I don't mess with old electronics but I thought I would be adventurous. Do amps deteriorate with age or do they generally stay within the...
Ok, I am know I am opening a can of worms and that everyone has their opinions, but my peers here know more about JBLs and amps that like JBLs than any other place in this solar system. Sooooo. I am hoping this thread will be as popular as my 250 thread. I am thinking of another amp and CD...
Have in very good condition Crown Power Line Three Crown Straight Line Two Crown FM Two Anyone have an idea how much they would sell for on the retail market?
Hi, I've just acquired a pair of S412Ps and they're perfect except that I'm missing one sub amplifier. The previous owner told me that he was having subwoofer problems and had it checked out- the tech told him that it was an amp problem and that he needed to replace the amp. So... the old amp...

Anyone here familiar with the interiors of a H/K AVR5000? I think the US model is AVR500, but I'm not sure. The problem I have, is that the receiver is quiet, unless I adjust the volume, manually or by remote, then there is sound, but very quiet, but it gets somewhat louder at max volume +10dB....
Has anyone had a chance to hear one of these yet?
www.tubes4hifi.com Any one familiar with these Dynaco format amps? Moderators please delete this as it has been re-posted at General Audio Discussion. thanks
Are Mcintosh solid state amps good performers? I know alot of "hifiers" wanting or needing tube amps will go with Macs, but do their solid state amps also have that coveted status?
Anyone know much about VTA & Bob Latinos' remake of Dynaco amps?
