How do you know when your system is too awesome? When your biggest gripe is better room acoustics management. That is one awesome set-up. Love the lights. Its a nice touch.

Upgrade! Been a few years, but finally updated this thing. Still have the scotch if you read the previous posts and you seem confused. Its just in my bar now.

So I am about to make my first foray into tube amplification (buying used from a local dealer), so I will ask the knowledgeable and experienced crew here for their advice. My choices are a Cayin A-50t, Rogue Cronus, and the Pathos classic one mk II. I know the Cronus and Pathos will drive...

the same day i win the lottery.

Speculation of the farthest reaches here, but since they have developed a new stator design for LF capacity, anyone think they might be moving in the direction of Magnepan and do away with the hybrid platform on their higher end models entirely?

I think the more important question you need to ask is whether you want to simply protect and correct the current issues with your electical, or are you looking for real performance enhancement. My recomendation would be to get a real professional electrician with proper test equiment (an...

In my listening experience, the Denon will work great for movies. However, I like pioneer elites for more balanced listening. The bass reproduction from pioneers is richer and more substantial than the sometimes metallic and hollow sound of a denon. Plus pioneers have some of the nicer...

Holy crap. Thats it, just holy crap.

I'd love to go, and take a friend of mine too. Does jet blue fly to Kansas? Because that will make or break it for me.

I'm so glad, now I have a new place to visit when I'm in Isreal. It'll bring me a little bit of home while on vacation.

Okay, let me defend my comments. I DO NOT think Carver stuff is bad. I think that in particular the TG series of processors (which are not tube) are over-rated. They are excellent pieces of equipment, really warm and smooth. They also look awesome. However, I think that with what you pay...

I honestly cant say what would match better. But I can tell you that the sunfire is a compete waste of $$$$. Its a good unit, thats for sure, but there are some major problems. The THD is .7%. Thats horriffic for a high end piece. This may have been changed, but thats what it was the last...

HaHA! Its funny because its a double entandre

I actually talked to my dealer rep about that sort of thing. He says that you can puncture 80% of the holes in the diaphram without ANY preformance damaging effects. This is actually a great selling point for prospective ML owners with clawed evil animals like cats and kids (at least kids with...

man you bought a tube amp. I've heard that if you have a tube amp you dont need a heater or radiator. Its also possible that the 4 ohm impeadence is lower that your previous speakers so the amp is driving a larger load, thus getting hotter. Enjoy the vantage, Theyre Great!
