![]() The massive power of 300 watt monoblocks will certainly offer performance in someĭimensions that a more modestly powered tube amp cannot approach, but most of the music we listen to is handled by the first few watts of any amplifier. Tubes from reputable companies are not all that fussy, but I understand that they are in the minds of many people. But I also understand that many people prefer the security and bullet-proof nature of solid state. My personal preference is for tube gear, and I would love to hear the SF driven that way. SF is too experienced and too highly esteemed to make an error like that.Īyre, too, is a very competent company that has obviously come a long way in recent years. That said, it is extremely unlikely that the Anniversario is not an improvement on the original. I've not had the pleasure of formally reviewing any SF speakers, and one would really have to compare the original Amati with the Anniveresario with intimate experience in the same system to answer your question. It is impossible to cover the show in as much detail as I do and spend really significant time in very many rooms. Although I am indeed a big fan of SF, I didn't spend a lot of time in the room. Yes, I heard the SF with the Ayre at the show and I liked the room a lot. I'm considering pairing these with Ayre's upcoming 300W MX-R monoblocks-time will tell on that Have you had the chance to hear these Anniversario's yet? If so, any comments? Any perceptible difference from the Amati Homage? I understand that they were powered by Ayre gear at FSI 2006. I understand that you are a "fan" of Sonus Faber products. Exercise those loudspeakers! Then choose. Select some test tracks for bass, vocals, treble, hard rock, classical, jazz, movies or whatever. They might need a higher quality amplifier with strong control over bass frequencies, depending on your use and listening room. Seems like the Axiom M80tis go a little deeper, but their impedance is also 4-ohms. The Studio 100s have a very flat frequency response, which might explain their raves – many from respected reviewers, who make a point of auditioning loudspeakers the rest of us can afford. I have not heard the Paradigm Studio 100 v3s, so I can’t actually say which is the better apple or orange. Gee, comparisons at that price range sure are tough! They both look good. In your opinion how does the Axiom's to the Paradigm Studio 100 v3's? Your view would be greatly appreciated. Just plug them in to your DEQ 2496 unit (even inexpensive professional XLR connectors make a good, solid connection) and then to your system. That is why I mention RCA-to-XLR adapters from The Cable Company in the article. Although not as common as typical stereo interconnects, stock XLR to RCS interconnects on the market do the job. There is no interconnect modification required for the unit. I certainly did not think I needed sterling morals to point-out what the Behringer 2496 can do for a home movie and music reproduction system, but letters like yours keep coming, even a year later. Any illumination is greatly appreciated and I hope no trouble. The next sentence goes on to mention that pin two connects to the RCA plug and the pin one-three combo to the shell however, what is the shell? In a way the paragraph reads like I am cutting into the cable to make connections. There are XLR to RCA cables on the market but it sounds from the article that these cables do not work without the modification. Do you happen to have a graphic or can you provide more information on how to make the connection work for an unbalanced system? You mention connecting pin one to pin three but don't include any details as to how that is accomplished: materials, where the connection happens, how it is made, etc. The section on Connections has me confused. The reason for me writing today is in the hopes of obtaining a bit of How-To. So thank you for taking the high road to write such an informative piece. So many audiophiles seem to think an EQ defiles a system because it introduces the aspect of allowing the listener to change the sound ironically, choice of tubes is perfectly acceptable to them and results in hours of discussion on the merits of each model. I greatly enjoyed your article on the Behringer DEQ2496.
