Hello!
« on: 2 Apr 2017, 03:45 am »
Hello!  I'm not the most sophisticated when it comes to understanding the inner workings and terminology relating to high end audio, but I love listening to music, and I really love listening to music when it is engaging.  I was first bitten by the audio bug when I was about 16 years old, when my friend picked up a Rotel receiver and B&W speakers.  Not being particularly creative, I basically copied his system and brought it to college -- which served me very well for a number of years.  That was around 20 years go.  My interest in music was amped up (pun intended) when I had the chance to live in Japan about 5 years ago, and I went to a number of Jazz cafes with high end audiophile setups (one cafe even had JBL paragon speakers).  I'm interested in the forums to learn, as well as purchasing/selling components.

Thanks.  I'm interested in changing up my system to incorporate a low wattage amp (tube or solid state), and high efficiency speakers.  Are there of any threads in particular that are worth reading -- perhaps a thread that collects links/names of amp manufacturers?  I've done a bit of browsing the site and I've seen a few things, but wanted to know about any really noteworthy threads, since there are so many!

Just go to speaker manufacturer sites and look for them or do a search - http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?action=search
e.g. key word 'efficiency' and limit that to specific boards.  For example, this search was the result of using the word 'efficiency' and checking off many of the speaker manufacturer boards - http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?action=search2

If you get too many results from a search, you can also limit the boards and number of days.  Here is a similar search limited to 1,000 days (vs. 9,999) - http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?action=search2

Sorry - but the links don't work after I do a search - just got to the search link at the top of the page, put your search terms in, click on choose a board to search and at the bottom left of that page is a 'check all' link.  Hit that and it will let you choose what boards you want to search.  Note that at the top, it has a number of days to search as well.
