Have you tried the Capri S2 with the 555? I have a Continuum S2 which I can use the preamp section when I demo the 555 in my system. I also have an Emotive Audio Epifania tube preamp but it's single ended only.
Has anyone tried a tube preamp with their Rowland amp? I recently took delivery of a Continuum S2 and I am so impressed with the sound and build quality that I started wondering if I could use my Emotive Audio Epifania preamp with a 625 S2. I realize that one issue is that I would have to use...
I agree with Cellcbern 100%. I remember first hearing Bache Audio at a NY Audio Show. It may have been the show hosted in Westchester. Fast forward to the NYC show in 2019, the speaker I wanted to hear was the Pure Audio Project. It was open and airy, but thin sounding. Considering the size of...
The crossover in my Bache Audio Tribeca's is a simple cap on the super tweeter and a coil for the woofers. The modified wide band driver is a direct connection to the amp. In the past I have had speakers with complicated crossovers and single-drivers with no crossover. These are my favorite...
i replaced the drop ceiling with a sheet rock ceiling. I have 3 Mondo traps behind the speakers, and RPZ panel on both side walls, and and a diffusor sitting on top of a small Mondo trap. With the throw rug placed between the speakers and listening chair the acoustics are really good.

I like Quads for jazz and acoustic music, but for orchestral music and rock music they lack, IMO.
The Tribeca is built around a modified wide band driver, sans the whizzer cone, and augmented by a Fostex horn super tweeter and two 8" woofers. Your getting the coherency of a single driver...
I was impressed with Bache's Lexington speaker at the New York Audio Show this past November I decided to go to Bache's showroom in Brooklyn and take a listen to the Tribeca speakers. To make a long story short, I took delivery of my pair about 10 days ago. I have owned many speakers including...
I just installed a Triode Wire Labs "Split Power & Data" USB cable. With about 6 hours use I think it's a great sounding cable. The maker states the cabe needs 100 hours to settle in. Compared to the AudioQuest Black Diamond cable I have, the TWL has a fuller sound.
I recently had a demo of these speakers. While I was able to hear better detail, tighter bass, and a sweeter top end with the Avanti speakers, I thought the Tempo's fuller sound and presentation made the music easier to enjoy. THe system was all solid state. I am going to go and take another...
