Perhaps my question is too specific and may not get an answer... But I'm on the hunt for my 1st pair of Hi-Fi speakers. My best buy clearance home theater package just plainly sucks... It's fine for movies and hockey but that's it.
I have my eye set on:
-Mapletree Audio's Stealth 60 EL34 Tube amplifier with their preamp.
-Marantz CD5001 cd player
-and a pair of speakers...
I would like something that performs well with jazz with a fairly detailed sound. I started a post over at the "Two-channel Audio" circle (
http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=34299.0)
Fellow forum members suggest I venture over here to Ellis Audio and do some researching. I'm a 100% DIY guy, graduated with a bachelor's of applied science in engineering physics and electrical engineering. I plan on getting cabinets from
http://www.diyspeakercabinets.com/ and building the rest of the speaker myself.
My question is... How will the Ellis 1801s sound playing jazz with a tube setup fed by a CD player and/or mp3s? with the occasional rock/alternative song mixed in?
Thanks,
Jason
