I truly think that a pair of Sequel IIs might kick the butt of one of those Sony amps -- just not a really good voltage source into <4 ohms (small power supply for hi-end amplification) and preamp output voltage is low (most are 2-3 volts at full output). You should hear marked improvement when...

Excellent post. Thank you for the tips. As a beginner, I have run across several of the anomalies that you mentioned and have had to find my own way through them. Where were these tips a year ago ??? ~VDR

The only bad thing about bi-amping is that you will need a bunch more cabling. In my case, I settled on long ICs and short double-runs of speaker cable. One could make a coherent argument that following a long-speaker-cable philosophy is preferable. But I don't wish to start a debate or stir...

It should work marvelously... It did for me: http://www.martinloganowners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6228 ~VDR

I was going to recommend the same thing, Hotroady. I run my Sequel 2's with two Depth subs in my 18'x22' room to very high SPLs. Megadeth hammering out the riffage at near front-row-of-the-concert volume levels may not be good for the hearing, but it's a hoot... MLs for metal ? Two thumbs...

CAP -- Been in and outta town quite a bit of late. If it wasn't business, it was family. If it wasn't family, it was.... you get the idea. But I never left this site for long, just chose to lurk for a while. As for that $^&#%*!@ "cat-tree" -- I put it in my listening room because they...

Cleaned up this old thread on 5/09 to improve readability. ~VDR

Wow, look at how the Michigan representation on this board has grown over the years !! Nice looking system, Jeff. I suggest that you take a few more action shots and post it up in member systems also. ~VDR

Didn't he and some hooker get into a fight ? From the pics that I saw, it looked like she worked him over pretty good ! Good pitchman, but probably just another knucklehead... ~VDR

I'm not a Levinson fan, finding them sounding a bit bland and boring compared to other amps in their class. I'll take a set of Jeff Rowland or Krell over Mark Levinson almost any day. That being said, if a set showed up on the 'Gon or local retailer at a price that I could get the wife to go...

No disrespect intended. Just some disappointment. Mostly because I'm still busy kicking myself in the a$$ for having missed the AK Fest.... Post some more pics !! ~VDR

Nice system. Be sure to replace those panels. I think you will really like what you hear !! My Sequels really came to life with the updated panels. Enjoy !! ~VDR

Adcom products... junk. I won't touch them with a 10 foot pole. And the fact that their influence in the hifi market has diminished to insignificance these days kind of makes me smile. ~VDR

I say run 'em full-range -- I wrestled with this for quite a while. The Sequel IIs that I have sign off as frequencies drop below 40Hz (I've done my measurements too). So I guess one could say that everybody will have to approach this problem in their own way as it is seriously room-geometry...

Well, I'm off to Aspen later this morning for a week of skiing, fine dining and to watch some crazy-a$$ Winter X-Games. Should make for a real good time, especially if my two teenage boys can manage to stay out of trouble and/or the hospital. Any drinking, dining, insider secrets or other...

I hope Hines Ward works through his knee issue.... ~VDR

Black pizza time with a couple of classics....

I would think that a big, mean tomcat might keep them at bay.... ~VDR

Yep. Siltech are good cables -- but silver sounds like silver. So it's a very personal thing. See avatar, those are the 4-80 interconnects.

In my worthless opinion, I feel that MM carts leave something to be desired in the top-end extension. Even on affordable tables like a the Regas and ProJects, a fine MC provides better and clarity. I have been demo'ing tables for quite a while now and have decided that VanDaRo likes the sound...
