Well, the aforementioned Audion Silver Nights monoblocks are valve amps
but they have transistor-like qualities in the bass area.
Darren right ow is that the Krell 400xi tells the truth. I need a more
forgiving amp. I heard Cadence VA1 20w and the soundstage was way back
and also the tone thick (heard them on Cadence Avita)
Yes the Krell is forward enough. I need a forgiving and a warm amp. I
have heard the Vincent monoblock

Hi,
I missed that you had some Cadence hybrid speakers.
As it happens, I've heard a Krell KAV-300i (not mine) powering a pair
of Cadence Amayas. Also the same speakers being powered by a pair of
Audion Silver Night valve mono amps. The Audions were much better -
very believable sound and even the

If you are interested in room correction, perhaps you might want to try

Electrostatics can be very nice. I had a pair of Quads. Unfortunately,

theres normally a great deal you can do ..that does not involve wholsale
reinvestment in audio kit
as pointed out try a different speaker floor interface ..my suggestion
would be auralex platfoam cut to the size of the base of your speakers
...yes they will rock about ...but they will rock to

I love the clarity and high frequency crispness and Detail that the

That was one of the main reasons I bought a electrostat cause I loved
lots of detail and The drummer who colours his music with a lot of

Alwin,
What kind of floor do you have in your listening room?
If your floor is made of wood, i would highly recommend buying damping
feets for your speakers from this company

It's a very cheap tweak, but can lift your equipment very much.

Alwyn,
I have a Krell KAV-300i and it can sound cold with the wrong set up.
You just need the right speakers, and then the right "liveness" in the
