Tee-Jay The Stereo-Bargainphile, This made me laugh so hard, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sounds awesome man
Thanks Thomas ' you don't have to have fully treated room for good sound 'helps though ' a little forward sounding though Reveling '
8300A with front and rear speakers wired in paralell is an amazing setup, for whatever, I use it for everything
@OGmolton1 yeah inside the amp the speaker terminals are connected together with a plate I show in video it was actually designed for using powered sub with hi level input '
@@OGmolton1 awesome amp almost sounds class A to me ! Clean n sweet sounding
@@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120 I saw that. I use a switch box for 2 different amps so I wiire my speakers in parallel after that at the speakers themselves. I didnt't want to do that at first but then I saw those plates anyway, figured what's the difference?
@OGmolton1 yeah no difference at all ' when I talked to Jan Erthner he told me those post where for adding a Powered sub for me not to run 2 sets of speakers and if I did make sure their both 8 ohms and that the speakers do no drop below 4 ohms that I could burn the amp up ' it should be in your manuel just letting you know what the designer engeener told me He also builds luxman Amps as well
@@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120 I did happen to trip the protection circuit once or twice like that until I modified my speakers to have a different more robust crossover network at the low end. I've used this amp with a different set of speakers back in the day and the amp would get pretty hot, I'm amazed at the temperatures this thing puts off with the speakers I'm using. I'm sure it's gonna be blasting heat, but it'll feel pretty cool. I'm using these old technics 3 way speakers i made 4 way, i got a video about them if you wanted to see what i'm talking about..... love this amp and them speakers for sure
I'm upgrading from the Pioneer Andrew Jones speakers to the Polk Audio Signature Series. However, during the audition, the Polk Audio didn't appear to be an upgrade over the Pioneers. Can anyone offer some insights?
Yeah told e1 the Pioneer FS52s will compete with speakers from $700-800 U.S depending on the amp as well ' but yeah their over engeenered for the price ' Yous need atleast a Polk R600 to notice good size level in performace difference ' 💯
It's a dam good speaker for price point '
What about PC-USB details? Is it a Class-Compliant audio interface inside? Does it work with MacBook?
@@almazmusic MacBook and PC '
@@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120can you tell, does it uses an exclusive or inclusive mode? In simple - can I hear any other sounds in system, while playing from itunes or spotify?
I need to choose between the cambridge CXA81 MKII and the Audiolab A7000. It is very hard to decide! Nice review :)
What speakers do you have ? What type of sound you going for ?
Hey TJ, great review! Can you report whether the standard crossover iron-core inductor has a solid core or a laminated core? Thanks!!!
Thanks for a great video. I’m in Ottawa and have considered going to see Galion, just down the road. Are you planning to review your upgraded Polks? I was directed to your channel by GR Research going over the upgrade they did for you.
Hey Yes I am getting closer to finishing the Polks I been so busy finishing my accustic treatments for my 2 room entertainment/Nearfield room done this to be more accurate with my reviews ' but I am half way done !! Just need to finish custome boxes for xover Works been crazy to besides fighting and beating for now bladder cancer
@@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120 looking forward to it! I hope you’re able to enjoy in good health!!! BTW, I agree with others… your review style is great, easy to watch and your energy is infectious. New subscriber here 👍
the woofer isnt a neo magnet, you can tell by looking at it that its a traditional motor. not sure about the midrange though
on my computer im running a pair of these speakers with an AS-701 and loving them!! probably wont buy a pair of speakers till i find a pair of NS-1000's. i bought the elac's (same speaker but older version with rear port) for under $300 open box on amazon and it was one of the best speaker purchases i ever made
@JohnDoe-cv8iw Yamaha sounds great with Elac ' loved the combo with As1100/CA810 ' The pioneer fs52s paired up very well also actually better than me elacub52 Synergy '
ThomasAndStereo delivers quality! It’s always a step above in its capabilities. I like that Thomas has made the choice to oversee his builds with a hands on approach. You just NEVER find this in other larger manufacturers in this price range. In short. No matter what product you might choose to audition? Thomas has spent time on it. Transmission line speakers! Done and done correctly. Class A alone? Done… TS A 20. TS A 75… well built for the long haul.
Great video, thanks for uploading for us. 👍
You got it got 3 more Amps to review !!
thanks for the video
Sounds amazing
@@NicholasAsbury-lm4sv thanks Nick 😊
So, you don't need to use the pre-out (s) on an amp to hook up an active subwoofer?
Hi Tee-Jay. I bought the MK2 a few years ago after watching your video and some others. You had a video up describing how to do a system reset but I’’m not seeing it anymore. Is it still up somewhere and I’m just not seeing it? If so would you mind pointing me in the right direction with a link? I love the way this amp sounds but it has had some issues starting within the first year and Mark and the company had all kinds of issues and I could never get any customer service that was of any use. So I’m sorry to bother you but I’m a bit stranded. I put away the amp for about a year but now am interested in getting it working again. Basically the issue is it spontaneously switches back to standby mode and won’t stay on. It’s not in a setting where it could possibly be overhearing so I don’t know what the heck is going on. So I thought I’d try your reset method but need help finding it. Also, I’ve been looking for your store online but am having trouble finding it, too. If you have a website please hip me to that, too. Thank you.
@erikjacobson9156 I got you my dude Monday night I will upload new video on how to reset I have Galion Also ans mk2b . The reason why your having problems is a bad tube you can tell which one is bad by bias that tube will not go blue it'll stay Red and if you try to force bias to many times it will blow the fuse Doge has amazing protection board ' but yeah I git ya don't worry send me an email @ Karta.boy.1974@gmail.com
@@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120 Thank you! Sent you an email.
I just watched your Sony SS-CS3 3-Way 4-Driver review from 5 years ago, its a trip how far you have come in regards to equipment and vids
@78sound thank you it's been a fun Journey 😁 😆
I also own the 703s. Let us know how the upgrade improved the speakers sound. Thanks
Yeah I have a A/B switxhbox also '
I love my 350's! I power them with a QSC GX3 amp. They like big power and have incredible bass output to the point I don't even use a sub ( and I even high-pass these at 45 Hz!). Nice review TeeJay!
Not cheap but very good! Cheers 😅
Congratulations 🎉
I love my Polk 703’s so much they stay at the fronts for my Theater.. But playing that same song on my polk pair, I just can’t hear that extra voice coming thru the mix🤣🤣 I even tried thru my B&W’s, but again a no go🥰🥴That’s a good thing though, isn’t it? … You still Rock TJ with or without the added voice track❤️ Keep up the rhythm.. Best2You..

@thomasstanfel7589 thanks thomas I mean Tom wore your T shirt and har today !!
@@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120 heck yeah brother
You do kind of LOOK like Layne.I will leave it there✌️
Those JBL really punch above their price. I had some 570s (midget towers) and they did things to the sound that blew me away at times. But they also were harsh on some songs and one of my tweeters went bad. It was 1.5dB quieter with higher distortion which was very weird. I don't now how I caught that volume difference. JBL was cool though and sent out a new tweeter immediately for free under warranty but I sold them not long later due to having too many speakers.
Yeah sold my 580s - 530s in a small/nearfield room can sound great My Sansui pairs up very well
I'm voting for the Ray Tubes. They just sound more pleasant to me.
Yeah their really Good Tubes. From Expierence with low noise tubes is ones not better than the other it's a matter of taste and having synergy with the speakers ' I agree Rays sound besr with Dynes subjectively '
YEAH, BUT..... You really probably should be using an active crossover net work. Otherwise, how does the one amplifier know that it is only powering the high frequencies? Do you see it does it know that and so it winds up sending the entire 20 to 20,000 cycles to your high frequency drivers which is just not efficient, and it's very possible that by doing this you will damage those high frequency drivers. Then the same thing can be applied to low frequencies. How does that amplifier section know that it's only running the subwoofers or the low frequencies, you see it doesn't. And so you are sending the full 20 to 20,000 cycles to the low frequency drivers as well. Although the likelihood of damage is much lower fact almost nonexistent, you're still being inefficient. Woofers don't really care to see high frequency power. It's all about efficiency. I think you need to re-examine and reevaluate your set up here, and look into doing a to an active 2-way crossover net work.
Nice 🫡
Thank you for the detailed review. I’m waiting on mine to arrive soon.
@bencausey yeah I miss the Mk2 SE !! Had to send to Steve another reviewer he loved them also but I finally had a 1st video review 😃 vocals are so killer atleast a level above my ls50metas ' But Voyagers do love power !! I will also buy a set ' hoping more people try them and let me know how accurate my review is ' 😃 love feedback
Really classy tee Jay
Thank you
Looks like a mediocre amplifier in a very over the top case. The power into 4 ohms should almost double. If the output voltage is stable, then it would. Of course, it won't get hot with all that heatsinking and relatively low power. Regarding all that capacitance, does he own a cap making factory? After a point, adding extra caps makes almost no difference, looks impressive but in the real world it does not. Most of the cost of that unit is in metalwork. Fine if you think adding cost in that way, makes it sound better. Take away all the pointless caps and over the top metalwork. Half the size, use one transformer with 2 windings, you would an amplifier with almost no audible difference for half the money. Address the issue of power output, why is 4 ohms power so low?? Now that might be a winner.
It's a negative feedback amp !!!!! Your not getting double the power I am an electronic engeener I know more about Amps than most people ' Caps are not just for stored power they also help with Ripple effect I'd love to see a negative feedback amp that doubles it power in ohms ??? I'll wait
It's about reliability also ' but all the people at the audio show thought TS-A75 was a 200 watt amp it's not how many watts that matter it's about the quality of those watts that matters !!
@@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120 Negative feedback has nothing to do with power output at different impendences. Almost EVERY amplifier has negative feedback, either voltage or current, or both. Any capacitor obviously stores power, and it will by nature also lowers ripple. After a point adding extra makes so little difference it's almost pointless. But does look good in so called Hi end products. The amplifier puts out a voltage, if that voltage sages the output power will drop. In the real world it always does but in a good amplifier this should be minimal. Hence the power should almost double into 4 ohms. This is important as speakers' impedance varies considerably.
Again it's quality of watts that matters not how many watts I have a 20 pound emotiva amp rated 150/300watts and it does not come close to the power output of Ts-a75 even my vidar 2 rated at. 100/200 watts does not have the authority of Tsa75 tsa75 controls phase angels and impedence dips very well !!! Even my 52 pound Yamaha AS-1100 rated at 90/150 watts destroys that Emotiva Even my Denon PMA 1700 dual mono high current amp rated at 70/140 watts destroys the Emotiva it's about how well the amp can handle the load variation of impdence and phase angels 😇Over 100 people heard the TS-A75 at Monteral audio show and they thought it was a 200 watt amp it has authority and drive power 'and barley gets warm '
good amp. Not a giant killer. Hype. But a good value.
Is there a way to secure them to a stand?
No unless you drill in threaded incerts '
@@tee-jaythestereo-bargainph2120 thanks 🙏
I wonder How would you compare to Yamaha AS1200?
