The last time I visited his site it said they were only going to do repairs in the future.That is only true for the top line stage (SA11) and mono amps as the cost to update these is more expensive than buying the new products under his Aria company. And these newer products outperform those past Counterpoint models.
Counterpoint upgrade or Virtue Audio?
After years of traveling I am back "home" and dusting off my audio equipment. I have Aerial 10T speakers, a Counterpoint Solid 2 power amp, a Counterpoint SA-2000 pre-amp and a California Audio Labs CL-5 CD player. As you can probably guess this system was put together in the early 90s and I'm ready to refresh it. I am keeping the speakers since they do a good job. I am wondering what to do with the rest of the stuff? On the amps, I am considering getting the Counterpoint gear upgraded (if Mr Elliott is still doing upgrades), or picking up some other amplification. I have been intrigued by the Virtue Audio amps and like their small size (vs the 80 lb Solid 2!).
I would appreciate the forum's wisdom on how to proceed and open to any ideas.
