Lampizator, Doshi, Joule, Teres, Audio PhysicHi Spencer, I know what you mean - the speaker change often the greatest potential to change the character of the sound. I really didn't like the Acuhorn 155 horns I had before (the JM Labs certain... posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |

Lampizator, Doshi, Joule, Teres, Audio PhysicHi Ecclectique:Yea, the 842s sound great. It's hard for me to make good a/b comparisons vs the 300bxls I had before, especially so as I've been changing speakers to these new horns, but I belie... posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |
Lampizator, Doshi, Joule, Teres, Audio PhysicPaggusset, I was driving the Virgos with a pair of KR Audio 6000s (which I still have). They are rated 22wpc, and to my ears they drove the Virgos just fine. I'm unsure of the ohm setting on my KRs... posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |
Lampizator, Doshi, Joule, Teres, Audio PhysicHi Paggusset:Yea, I was really happy with the AP Virgo II, but was in a position to spend a bit more, so I thought I'd get a bit more speaker by spending more. Yea, the Acuhorns look amazing - ... posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |
Lampizator, Doshi, Joule, Teres, Audio PhysicHi Gregadd:Thanks - yea, the speakers look absolutely stunning. I'm still breaking them in and figuring out how to get the best out of them (I may invest in some custom Sound Anchor stands). posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |

Lampizator, Doshi, Joule, Teres, Audio PhysicHi Ecclectique:Thanks for your advice on the tubes - your advice is encouraging, as it's the same advice KrAudioProducts gave me too :-) - I'll be getting a matched quad of cryogenically frozen... posted almost 19 years ago | View comment | |
Lampizator, Doshi, Joule, Teres, Audio PhysicHi Goodo23:Those spikes under the Supratek are actually part of a Sistrum 001 stand. Sistrum stands are pretty amazing resonance reducing devices. I use a pair of smaller Sistrum stands under t... posted about 19 years ago | View comment | |
Lampizator, Doshi, Joule, Teres, Audio PhysicHi Smccull, I don't run any HT processor or any surround sound - just two channel stereo. MY HT setup is just on the video side. So, sorry I can't comment on HT passthrough issues. I don't think yo... posted about 19 years ago | View comment | |
Lampizator, Doshi, Joule, Teres, Audio PhysicHi Guys, thanks for the extra input. Gregadd, I'm guessing you're right that the Virgo would benefit from more power - I may try that some time. Although, my previous amps were 80WPC (hybrid tube/t... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
Lampizator, Doshi, Joule, Teres, Audio PhysicHi Tim, I can't say I've auditioned many other speakers, although would love to take the plunge on an upgrade at some point in the future. I know that speakers on my shortlist would include JB Lab ... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
Lampizator, Doshi, Joule, Teres, Audio PhysicHi Tim, yes I had the same worry when I got these amps. Well, all I can say is that the Virgos really sing with the amps. I was very happy with the match. I think 22wpc is very close to the minimum... posted over 19 years ago | View comment | |
