In the early 1970's I bought Fisher three way 12" woofers speakers without listening. Next, I bought a Phase Linear 400, with easily expeceed results and electrical smells. Next were Advents, but I listened. Then two more Advents. Whee! It lasted through college, with B&W's and Audire (and some panels, Maggies and Acoustat, intermingled) since.
have you ever bought stereo without listening first
I just placed a down payment for a Belles Virtuoso 200wpc amp. Its not in their website, I believe is a new model just put in production. Following Audio Connection,John Rutan's recommendation and pairing it up with an Audible Illusion M3A preamp and Vandys speakers. I believe its going to be a good combo, but has anyone listen to this amp?
