ARC 100.2 Enough power for Proac 3.8
Edesilva, looks like you have lots of ARC/Proac experience :-), and you have touched upon a subject that has interested me. You mention that you also use the D250MKII amps. I know of a local friend with one for sale and a monster it is. I am a lit... 
ARC 100.2 Enough power for Proac 3.8
I have heard an Aloia for a short period of time driving B&W 801's. I couldn't get over how much power they presented. I wonder if this could be an option, any ideas on this combo.Thanks 
ARC 100.2 Enough power for Proac 3.8
Hmm, The D400 is definately a possibility. My wife and I like the tunes to be fairly loud and punchy so I think the tubes may be out unless I go for a big power tube. A local fellow has a D250MkII 250 watt tube amp from ARC for sale, but it uses 1... 
Ultimate DVD player...
The ultimate DVD player regarding picture quality WITHOUT A DOUBT is a personal computer with an excellent video and audio card (M-Audio).There isn't a player on the market that can scale your DVD's to ANY resolution that your monitor,tv,or projec... 
eminent technology 2 setup help
What table are you setting the arm up on? Some tables work well, others are an absolute pain! Rushton offers the simplest advice and it works well if the table is predrilled. 
What am I looking for with strobe disc?
Thanks much for the info! I think I'm getting the hang of it. The PLC on my VPI is MUCH better than without, go figure. 
Good CD Player for UR Unico
I also use the Jolida player and it is fantastic with my Unico. I haven't even tried different tubes yet! 
Krell KAV-400xi or MF Tri-Vista with B&W or ProAC
Get ready for this!!! My local dealer lent me some D38's to break in for him as he doesn't have room at the moment. I am driving them with a UNICO 80watter from Unison Research. They are simply stunning in every sense. I have heard a tonne of gear... 
Tube suggestions for Unison Unico 80watt
Mullards seem to be choice for many but there are a couple of different types. What type should I be looking for?Alun 
unico 80wpc enough for dynaudio contour 1.3 mkII?
I am hoping that the Unico can deliver the goods into Proac resp. 1.5's. They are more efficient than the 1sc's (which I've owned previously) The 1.5's worked magic with 40watt tube so I think the unison would be good as well. As for the Dynaudio,... 
Suggestions for someone who wants to get in tubes
I disagree with the tube pre recommendation. I tried a Sonic Frontiers Line 1 into a Classe 15 for about a year. This replaced my Classe 5 pre for a while. Although this combo sounded nice, it didn't sound as good as my Classe 5 driving a 40watt t... 
Need tube amp suggestion VT100,MB-125,Cary V12
Thank you for your interesting replies. I also like the look of the Rocket 88. A pair of them would probably be nice in the vertical biamp method. Not sure about the power though. I found out that the Proacs are 88db sens. 
best amp for BASS
I just sold my Classe 15 which had excellent bass. I have heard the Krell 750monos at a friends and they were awesome, simply staggering sound quality...then we realized that we were listening to the AudioResearch tube amp sitting between them. A ... 
Easier maintenance ARCVT100mkII or VTL mb125
That is true Zaikesman, but I don't want to have to be sending a 100lb amp back to the manuf. every couple of years. Hopefully I will be able to find some balance between the two, sound and servicablility.Thank you for all of the responses 
Easier maintenance ARCVT100mkII or VTL mb125
What fantastic responses from all!!! I thank you for your input and advice. It seems a lot of people own the ARC amps and have mixed reviews regarding their upkeep. Although I've contacted a couple of people with the VTL's they seem a little more ...
