whatsbestforum - what's going on

I thought I could reduce my presence here and participate elsewhere so I registered on this site called whatsbestforum. First it looked harmless. I did not read the about section. 

I made one comment, a speaker recommendation - did not name or mention anyone - just posted a link to a speaker site and I was immediately banned. The site went into an endless loop, with the you are banned message. I can't log off or view anything, the only way I can view it is if I start another private browser. On top of that, a few hours later, the message changed to "Your IP address has been banned."  Like I am some kind of criminal to be kept away with a restraining order and pepper spray.

I wonder if it's an exclusive site or a cult, and if anyone from here is a successful member over there. The about us section is truly disturbing. I am not taking it personally, but it does bother me of course.

The Accuphase A-300 doubles all the way down in ohms. It's 125w into 8ohms, 250w into 4ohms, and about 235w into the 4.25 ohms  of the Minuet. So, what do you think of 235 watts of high current driving the Minuets?

I would prefer at least 350 watts, but what do you think?

unclewilbur,

I think it sounds like that amp would work well with Clarisys. Is it mono blocks?

I think the Minuet is supposed to be 6 ohm nominal.

sc53,

Have you heard the Clarisys speakers?

Yes, the Accuphase A-300 are monoblocks, and double down all the way to 1 ohm. 

The Minuets are 4.25 ohms with the neodymium magnets according to the Clarisys website. So the Accuphase A-300 monoblocks would be putting out about 235 watts into the 4.25 ohm Minuets. 

I have not heard these speakers at all. I’ve just read everything I can find about them and apparently they are awesome if the articles aren’t hyping them.

I've listened to the larger Clarysis speakers at the Munich High End show. They sound superb and are beautifully built. They are not over priced for what they are especially considering the number of neodymium magnets required. They have all the good aspects of Apogees with none of the drawbacks.

I own the Accuphase A300 Monos and prefer them to (owned these, Parasound JC1+,ARC M160s, Gryphon Antilleon EVO stereo) tried on demo the REIs. Accuphase A300 is a long term keeper. They easily run my Rockport Cygnus, but have no experience with Clarysis. Good luck.
