| Bat with non balanced pramps? This would be a no brainer. You need a BAT preamp.I've got two systems, BAT VK3i pre in one and a VK50SE in the other. Formerly an Audio Research fan, and recently demo'd an LS16 as a possible replacement for the VK3i, however there was no compari... | |
| Is there a better amp than this... Ahh, the Plinius! I've had it here for a short audition.It did not unset the 33H's, however a great amp regardless.Another I did not mention but feel is world class is the Gamut D200. This did not have enough control over the 10t woofers (not enou... | |

| Is there a better amp than this... Touche' D!However, I guarantee you have not heard a "wimpy" pair of 33H monoblocks (150W@8 ohms) driving the 10t either.What have I used:Hafler 9500's strapped mono andin stereo biampingHafler 9505 as aboveHafler 9500 with musical concepts mods as... | |
| Is there a better amp than this... 10t. Been there, done that. You are in denial. Big current is what makes 'em sing. The run-of-the-mill short $$ amps will not get you where you want to be, but keep bangin' your head against the wall, its OK! Audio is a great adventure for sure. 1... | |
| Aerial 10T Owners and Anyone that can help You want to hear the 10t's sing? I've had all the so called big power hitter amps on mine, up to and including the Classe M-1000 monoblocks. What's there now?..........Levinson 33H. Best I've heard, 33's would probably be even better, however the ... | |
| Is Audio Research Mach II Ref II a good pre-amp? With the krell I'd bet a BAT VK5i would be a better choice.beemer | |

| How do you get to demo equipment? Hello Justin:I'm in Central Mass as well. I've taken home equipment fromGoodwin's High End, Natural Sound and Ensemble in Nashua.Perhaps you offer these folks an impression of your CC, and the take-homes may improve. Myself, I've had a relationshi... | |
| Nothing new under the sun? I truly believe that you can get good sound without breaking the bank, however the higher "high-end" is pricing itself out of a market, IMHO.I also believe there's a lot of slick marketing going on as well. Worst offenders: Cable, and speakers.I c... | |
| Any Levinson owners/critics out there? I'm a 'hybrid" Levinson guy. I like to use BAT tube preamps in front of Levinson solid state amps. I own a classic ML3, a 333 and a pair of 33H now. Two different systems, One with Infinity Betas and another with Aerial 10t's.Had lots of solid sta... | |

| Can you help or do I have to get divorced? Dude, you gotta get rid of that woman. I got one, I'm keeeping her too! Infinity Betas in the livingroom, wires all over the floor, preamp and cd player on the coffee table. Did I mention the dedicated 2 channel rig in what was once the master bed... | |
| Speaker Cable Too Short What to do? A grown man capable of spending $XXXX on expensive MIT cables should have spent $5.99 for a tape measure. I am sorry for you, however I cannot locate any sympathy.beemer | |
| No Sellers willing to do COD anymore??? One word: Feedback.Risk either way, COD or upfront payment. Someone must make "leap of faith!". I personally am not willing to ship on COD. Bad checks, UPS problems, and on and on. I've heard more scare stories with COD, but to be fair, same with ... |
