Interesting,thanks. Makes sense. Yes my 3000-2 is the only one of the four I listed there with capacitor coupling to the speaker due to the fact that it is the only one with a single rail power supply. Paul

I would like to get some opinions on the specification for damping factor .What I know is that damping factor is explained as The ability of the amplifier to control the speaker.In other words:The amplifier's ability to put the speaker precisely where it needs to be,precisely when it needs to be there.If the amplifier can't do this,distortion

ReinHiFitsgebot? Speakers can only be made of Water,Barley,hops,yeast?

Perhaps I need "all of the above"? I am not familiar with the DIN 45.500 standard,can someone enlighten me?

I am considering the offer by Jeff (burantek) of the forum to sell his 500s.Are these comparable to the 2200s?Or would I be better off with a pair of 2200s? It sounds like the 1100 with the dome tweeter are better still.I assume this helps correct the directionality of the tweeters. Paul

I agree Peter.I am sure the frequency response curve out of My tube amp would not likely be too pretty.With these vintage tube units,it's more about creating a very pleasant to listen to tone.I just need to find a set of speakers with a good match to this low power amp.By the way it sounds,I would say I already had it with the Advents!I'm sure

Simon,It sounds as if you are quite pleased with the S30 type 6301.Any specs on these available?Those would likely get the WAF. What I did not mention was that I tried to substitue a pair of baby advent II speakers with somewhat disappointing results.These are,like the S30s a 6 1/2 inch woofer,2 way system.They were just too much of a downgrade.The

Thanks for all the great input guys. Claus,Sorry,no WAF on the 1" smaller s45-2s.Perhaps I should get a pair and if they don't "work out" at the cottage I will bring them home to use on my BM 3000-2 at home. Paul

Great input guys! Mika,Is there any correcting for the extreme directionality of the 2200?I would hate to see a fight break out for the center seat at the cottage when the boys are up. Thanks Paul

Thanks Jaff Yet another older pair I have never seen before.I will keep you in mind as I get this sorted out.I realize it's a bit subjective as to what "sounds as good as" the Advents unless you have heard them first hand.All I can say is they were one of the smaller,least expensive models offered at the time by Advent but have now proven
