Just recieved my ASL Waves, they are amazing


These are an incredable value a $240 a pair. They sound fantastic. I'm using a passive preamp(with one set of inputs and one set of outputs) and I am amazed at how good they sound. They sound as good, or better than my $1,500 EL84 integrated.

Hey Petey,

Sounds like a bit of system synergy going on at the Whitley house. I used the only pre-amp I had in the house at the time and that was the front end section of an Arcam Alpha 10 integrated. Could be that the Arcam was not a good match. BTW, I had a chance to buy the LAT passive for $100. I probably blew a good deal huh?

You are right, getting new stuff is half the fun. I've had 4 speakers and 4 amps in the last year and 3 receivers. Buying at A-Gon Rules!!!

Enjoy,

Hey Pete,
Glad you like them. What speakers did you get after selling the EFE's(too bad, I should have bought those)? I bought a pair of the Wave's very shortly after they were introduced and I was disappointed in them. Even though I had the easy to drive Triangle Titus's at the time, the Wave's just couldn't muster enough grunt for me. Interestingly, most people that I've talked to seem to like them just fine.

So, what speakers are you driving and how do these little tubies compare to that French SS amp. you're trying to get rid of now?

Enjoy,
