| Is dedicated PreAmp with Oppo 105 needed? P7 and be done with it. Otherwise throw your money into a separate preamp and amplifier that kicks butt over your Parasound and Oppo stuff. Most audiophiles have a separate setup for music. HT Passthru is an option with the P7 to get the best of b... | |
| Schiit not that Good? Freya is only $700. That allows you to put more money into your amplifier, speakers or whatnot. And the flexibility with the 6SN7 tubes and the Balanced XLR input and output. A fully balanced system does seem to have advantages. | |
| Schiit not that Good? I own a Freya and love the fact that it uses 6SN7 tubes that can be "rolled" to your listening pleasure. Bought it when the Freya 1st came out. I use the Tubes Mode most of the time, but it is really good to have the Passive, or JFET modes as well... | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 I'm not familiar with T+A gear. I just read a couple of articles about it. Sounds like a winner. Swiss is usually very good, and extremely expensive.I'm a Krell guy myself using separate rebuilt Vintage Krell Amplifiers. My current favorite is the... | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 Just thought I would chime in on Constellation Integrated. Audio Advisor has a DEMO unit for sale in their Clearance section for $6,888.00. I have bought many DEMO items from them and they are always mint and sometimes great deals like this one (n... | |
| Budget/value SS power amp recommendation NuPrime STA-9 Class D. 120 watts/ch. Beautiful open sound. Can drive just about any load a speaker can. RCA and XLR inputs. $649I owned one, and it beat out many amps costing much more. Can be bridged for more power. Only way I could get better so... | |
| Using Two Subwoofers with Two 2-Channel Amplifiers. Here is my setup which too me a while to get the sound up to the level that I was looking for......2 Channel Stereo with 2 Channel Subwoofer SetupMartin Logan Montis ESL Speakers which each have a 10" Driver with DSP and a 200 watt amp.

| Preamps better than Parasound JC-2 ? Here is something to chew on. I own a Schiit Freya preamp. It has 3 ways to listen to it. It also has balanced inputs and outputs. 1:) Passive Mode (a straight thru listen) just a volume control 2:) JFET Mode a nice solid state preamp presentation... | |
| Pre and Amp Suggestions I went thru a multitude of amps last year to get the sound right. Ended up getting back to my roots of Krell amplifiers. I currently using a re-capped Krell KSA-200S, and it has the variable Class A Bias. It doesn’t get hot like my other 2 Krells ... | |
| Martin Logan speakers I haven't heard the 13A or 15A Expressions yet. But I do know this about my Montis setup...... Went to 2 Stereo separated REL S3 subs right next to the Montis and tuned them to accommodate the speaker, not overwhealm it. Have a Krell KSA-200S curr... | |
| Dan D'Agostino Helius dual monoblocks, 1500w @ 8ohms I find Krell to sound better than other amps on my Martin Logans. Bought one vintage Krell from the nineties last year, and now I have 3 different designs. All Class A. It's great that they still can be brought back to original operation at Krell ... |
