I dont know all the ARC products that well, but I like the ARC - ML combo in principle. To me they work well together as I listen to lots of classical music and have not yeat heard a typical SS amp that works with ML/my ears/classical music. And they also do well with other genres. I heard...

Hi, depending on budget, and on music preferences, the new ARC DSi200 works very well with with the Vantages, my ears, and a wide variety of music. If you are into classical music, listen carefully, as some amps are too bright for that genre and the Vantages. Good luck!

Hi there, I know it is best to listen for oneself (and I will do that), but I just want to check whether anyone had the opportunity to listen to the newer MLs (like Vantage, Summit) with any of the Pathos products, especially with the Cinema X. I am thinking of auditioning the combo and was...

hi, I have now had the oppertunity to listen to a few amps and I would like to express my views here and hopefully you can help me again. I know we all love our "sound" differently and hopefully if I am able to explain what I like, maybe you guy can give me more direction. OI am still not sure...

thanks to everyone, these are indeed auction items, but some by reputable dealers who have a "return policy". I think I will start with the BAT. I dont like a thin and lifeless sound (although I also hate over dramatic dynamics - sigh, I want my cake and eat it....), and what I have read...

If you had the option of buying a BAT VK200, Classe 2200 or a GamuT D200 (vII) all still within your budget as a power amp for Vantages (I use an Arcam AV9 as a pre-amp), which would you use? Thanks Andries

pre-amp I went to a store close to London today to audition CD players and pre-amps, but after listening to the Bryston 2B power amp, I got the impression my problem is much more related to the my power amp (Primare A30.5 120 Winto 8 ohm). Suddenly the balance was much better. WOW, now I am...

Hi all, Only my 2nd post here. I will have to change my pre-amp out. The Arcam AV9 (in a mixed Audio, AV system) is too edgy and clinical to do justice to my Vantages. So, I am looking to find a good audio pre-amp (possibly tube) to siton top of my Primare A30.5 (120 W into 8 Ω and 200 W...

Bernard, I am new here (see first post), so was not sure where to post these questions :) Apologies, I remain interested in views of members though .... :) Regards Andries

thanks for the responses guys, I will try them :)

Thanks for the response. I fully trust you on your recommendation to get a turntable. However, I just don't see myself getting into vinyl at this point in time. There are limited music available on vinyl and I tend to listen to smaller artists. I guess I will have to go the expensive digital...

Rvega003, maybe I should paly around with positioning a bit more, by the way, they are not that new, I had them since Feb and all my AV (incluing TV) goes through my AV system. Just a question, would bi-amping work at all. I see in the ML manual they do not recommend bi-amping. Would that be...

thanks for all the responses. Let me try and answer some of the questions a bit. The walls of the room are typical UK dry walls. I played quite a bit with the positioning of the sepakers, I found the further I moved it away from back walls, the more transparent they got. They are relatively...

hi The room is around 8 m long (24 ft) by 5 m wide (15 ft). It is carpeted, has no other treatment. Andries

Hi there, I am new to this club, and have a few questions: As with many things in life, it seems my absolute adoration of ML Vantage transparancy and pin point imaging also has its down side..... :) My system sounds a bit thin and "digital" on occasion. I prefer a richer sound that is not...
