Help with Singlepower
Hi All, I purchased a Singlepower Extreme Platinum way back during the height of the excitement about Singlepower. I listened to it maybe 3 hours and then the unfortunate turn of events unfolded for us about his products. I took it out or service and boxed it up. I sent it to Pro Digital for...- ALLENR

Singlepower Extreme Platinum
Hi, I purchased the unit in May of 2007 with the intention of exploring the differences in tube sound. I listened to it for a little and other things became more pressing in life as they sometimes do. Later the information was discovered about the construction problems with these units, so I...- ALLENR

High Efficiency Speakers
Hi, When I listen to the horns with my MP-5 they are generally satisfying. I guess the Singlepower is just a bad combo with them. They also sound good with another tube amp I tried (13 watt). I was hoping one of the Singlepower enthusiasts might have stumbled upon the tube combination that...- ALLENR

High Efficiency Speakers
Hi, The amp is a Singlepower Extreme Platinum, the speakers are Atelier First Horns. I was hoping to enjoy the setup in my 15 x 12 x 8 room while reading and such, but the "muted" performance is very dissappointing. Maybe if I used different tubes, but the swapping spreadsheet on this board... -
High Efficiency Speakers
Hi, There just seems to be no fullness or presence or emphasis in the sound. Like it's underpowered. -
High Efficiency Speakers
Hi, I was wondering what the best speaker choices would be for my low power headphone amp. What are others using effectively? I tried a pair of horns with Fostex126e drivers, 95db sensitivity, without much luck. How sensitive must speakers be for moderate listening levels, with say 4 watts...- ALLENR

Are there any good ~$500 floor standers?
Hi, I have the MMGs, and a pair of 3.3rs. My speaker cronology is Allison One, Ohm L, McIntosh XD717, Final 0.3, Magnepan MMG, Magnepan 3.3r. Which makes me 50 years old. For many years I was happy with the Macs and the 12 inch drivers gave me all the bass I needed, old rockers love bass. When...- ALLENR

My First Stero /w pics! Suggestions Needed
Hi, Are those 3.3r's? If so, I have the same and they are fantastic! I notice that you have your crossovers hard pin connected to the inputs, and hanging in the air. I was never brave enough to do this and left mine on the floor behind the panels. Later I built a shelf across the "feet" and... -

Extreamus Interruptus
Hi, Thought I'd fill in a little. I spoke with Singlepower, their response was exceptional. They wanted me to keep the unit I had recieved until mine was sent along. Tho generous, this would only serve to drive up costs, I can wait. Several phone calls were returned to me to insure customer...- ALLENR

Singlepower Extreme - Standard vs Platinum
Hello. The time has come to make a choice between the two. I am not aware of any discussions of the merits of Platinum over the Standard. What would be realized in the Platinum that would be worth the premium? You all seem to be knowlegable, friendly and maniacally enthusiatic in your hobby, a...- ALLENR
