For the price, the Super 3 is hard to beat and is a fantastic way to break into high efficiency/low power audio. Once you start going up the Omega line (and "going up" refers only to price) we start trading compromises and beginning to compete with multiway speakers. One aspect of Omega line is that one driver handles most of the musical spectrum with no passive crossover components. This is not unique to single-driver speakers. There have been a number of two way speakers that let the low frequency driver run full range with no crossover and bringing a tweeter in to fill in the top. Examples include: - Reference 3A MM DeCapo and other iterations, - Dynaco A25 (one of my favorites. Just a really good sounding speaker) - Joe Roberts' interpretation of the Altec two-way using 414/802/32a components. He recommends letting the 414 run full range and bringing in the 802 at 6-8khz. The ALtec 414A/B/C has been referred to as the best midrange driver ever made. One that just happens to reproduce bass. |

I once owned Dynaco A25s for about 5 years. Really smooth sounding speaker. I can understand why people like them.

Since getting my LP-27a, I have missed my remote. I just installed a remote controlled passive controller.
It works like a charm. I'm currently feeding three inputs (one digital and 2 analog). One line output goes to the LP-27a and the second to my powered subwoofer (Zu Undertone). The fixed output will allow me to add a headphone amp. I'm seriously interested in Dennis' headphone amp. The mute and volume feature is handy since I stream audio, play ripped files via JRiver and am feeding broadcast TV all through my PC and into my DAC, and can disable the sound from annoying ads, adjust sound leve , etc. I really can not hear any sound degradation. The only drawback is that I wish it was Gold and Harley Black! Last edited by Masterlu; 09-09-2016 at 12:29 AM. Reason: Your link is against forum rules, and has been removed. |

It is a motorized volume control. I like the feature of the volume automatically going to zero and automatically going to the mute (turning off all inputs) when first powering up the unit. No surprises when turning on the LP-27a and Firebottle KT88 SE HO. |

So that is for the amp which he sold as the ET88 Hot Rod 12 wpc.
I have the 17 wpc version of this amp, using 5AR4/GZ34 with Genalex KT88. So I'm guessing all or most of the above output values would be higher on my amp. Also note that the Tung-sol KT66 is really more like a 6L6GC, with a 0.9a draw. The Genalex KT66 draws the full 1.3a and likely makes more power. |

At this point, I'm glad I have a DAC that I really like that has a remote volume attenuator. My LP-2 is set on full volume with the DAC dialed back. |
