New to the Ml club

[Sunil]

Yesterday I got my new Stage to go with my Vantage. So far sounds very good. Looks to square though.

Welcome aboard. What are the positives and negatives of the Stages?

 

[Joey_V]

Welcome welcome!

The squareness is part of the look... you'll come to appreciate it more and more as time goes along.

Do you have 4 Vantages and a Stage? Is this your HT?

So far it is too early to judge but first few minutes of listening was a pleasure. I am sure my experiance will continue to improve.

I have 2 Vantages, a Stage, 2 Frescos, 2 Vignette and Depth SW driven by old Denon 5800.

Alright... lets move up the amplification ladder... those Vantages deserve far better. Though the 5800 is a monster of a receiver, a good 2 channel amp is what the Vantages really deserve.

Though, you can probably hold off on that until your wallet heals. Nice setup.

Thanks.
I do have Denon 5200 Pre Amp. puts out 125W per ch. What do you think about that for now? what do you recommend besides that?

 

[Joey_V]

Depends on your budget.

You dont need to upgrade all channels, just the stereo channels to start off with (or end with).

Above 3K? Lots of choices - from the Mark Levinson 333/334 to the Plinius SA-102 to the Parasound JC-1 monoblocks, lots of Krells and Classes to choose from too. I'm not a tube guy, so others can chime in on tube amp recommendations.

Below $2K? You have quite a few choices too... from the Rotel RB1090 and Parasound A21 to the Mark Levinson 331, or a Plinius SA-100. There are more that I havent mentioned.

Welcome to the club!

Just so you know Joey has a disease called Upgraditis that apparantly

not only applies to his system but others as well

 

[David Prall]

Hmmmm.... How many days DID Joey have those Vantage speakers before he switched to the Summit???

Ya, I was about to say he’s not the only one with upgraditis.

You all know I got a Ps Audio P1000 power plant last month, well a brand new P500 power plant showed up on my door step last night. So far my projector loves it.
