Amp arrives Wed. Cables for xmas I really do appreciate all the advice. The amp arrives on Wednesday. New speaker cables are hopefully coming for Xmas. If anyone is in the bay area (California0 and wants to see/listen - I am in the Santa Cruz area. Happy for you to drop by. Just send me...

I bought the A500 Hi all: I just ordered the A500 ($192 from Amazon, no tax, free shipping). I will write to you all my experiences with this amp & the Ascents. Thanks for all the advice. Regards, Lee

My amp will be in a closet, potential unbalanced/balanced issues? Hi all: User211: Could you point me to your post on the EP1500 on the other forum - either privately or here? raanan17: Are you saying you connected unbalanced output (eg CD player) to the 1/4" balanced input and you did not...

Hi Everyone: I am going to try getting a Behringer A500 amp. Amazon has it for $196 and I get free shipping. I have little to risk here. If I really like this amp, I can get a second in the future and bi-amp. Or I can spend 10-20 times more and get a "real" amp. I noticed that Behringer...

Hi all: Thanks for all the previous advice everyone. I came across a pair of Ascent i's in perfect condition. They were driven by Mark Levinson 333's and sounded great. I picked up these speakers for $1950 locally. These wonderful speakers are hooked up to what may be the worst amplifier...

Hi Jeff: I may take you up on your offer. Its just that SoCal is a 6 hour drive (one direction) away from where I live. I will let you know when I get back from Toronto. Thanks! Lee

Hi: I saw the ads and went to their website. The website says both sets of CLS's are sold. I'm finding this whole thing pretty hilarious. How hard can it possibly be to find some CLS's to listen to. I guess I will keep travelling and watching and trying (including attempted bribes for...

Hi: I will be visiting Toronto from Nov. 4-9th. I tried to audition CLS's in California (in exchange for wine, beer or coffee) but had no takers. Is there anyone in Toronto willing to take me up on the offer? You choose the California wine - merlot, cab, zin, syrah, ... I want to listen to...

Raanan, Jeff - thanks for the offers to listen to your speakers. Israel & SoCal are quite far from me though. Mosttoysrk - I believe you! I would like to listen a set of CLS's (any set) before I buy a set (probably have them shipped sight unseen/unheard). So, alcohol has not enticed local...

Hi: Is there anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area who owns CLS (any vintage)? I am trying to decide on which MLs to purchase. There are currently no CLS's on the market here (at least none that I have seen in the usual sources). I have owned Sequel II's in the past and am going to audition...

Hi everyone: First - thanks for all your responses! A few observations: 1. I am surprised to see so many people recommend CLS's (considering what I have read about how tricky they are to setup). I have never heard them live - anybody in the Bay area willing to give me an audition in exchange...

Hi: I am in the market for a used set of MLs. I am a former owner of Sequel IIs. My amp is a Sunfire 300x2 (happy at low impedances) - thanks to the advice from this forum. I just picked it up this week at Audiogon. My room is 15x20x15 (cathedral ceiling) - its quite bright. In this price...

Hi: Newbie here to this forum. Please have patience. I have an opportunity to put together a new system for myself: Quests powered by a pair of Carver TFM-25s. I don't have either yet (I am a former Sequel II owner). The Quests will take up most of my budget - I have an opportunity to get two...
