| Affordable SS amp that has tube characteristics I got some Power Modules Belles MB-01 mono blocks. They seem to fit the bill. 75W of pure class A. They get hot as hell but man do they sound good for not being fully broke in yet. I also had to remove the Audio Research LS 25 out of the system. I... | |

| Affordable SS amp that has tube characteristics Yogiboy, that does look like what I'm looking for but not sure that seller wants to ship and I just had a very bad experiece with UPS. I'm guessing he does not have a factory box. | |
| Affordable SS amp that has tube characteristics Budget is about 3500. I should have mentioned that I have tried Aragon and McCormick amps. They were both OK but not as warm as I would have liked. FWIW of the 2 I like the Aragon the best. The Classe may be something to look into. | |
| Paradigm Studio 100 v.3 + Marantz sr5001 Hmmmm, thats a pretty cool feature, guess I have been away from receivers for too long.Hope you enjoy your new speakers Garofalo8. Should have all the power you need. | |
| Paradigm Studio 100 v.3 + Marantz sr5001 I have never heard a Marantz Sr5001 but I can tell yo that 90 watts is enough to drive the Studio 100's. I also have never heard of anyone using an AVR to BI-Wire their speakers so I don't know how that will work out either. Here is what I can tel... | |
| HT Receiver or High end integrated for music?? I too agree with Bob_reynolds but moreso on the pre pro then the speaker theory. I do believe that speakers are an important part of an audio system but I think pre amps are equally responsable for sound quality. I tried a HT receiver with little ... | |

| NAD C542 vs Audio refinement Alpha complete CDP? Chrisyou are the first to mention the power cord issues on the AR CDP. After extensive reserch I have decided to take Bignerd100s advice and go with the Cambridge Audio. Price was a big factor seeing that this a second system. I hope the quality i... | |

| Did I smoke my centre channel..?? I agree with Viridian, burning voicecoils have a (dis- Stink) smell. If you turned it down in a timely manner there will be minamal damage. If it was the amp it would not be playing at all now.From now on YOUNG MAN when drinking and listening to S... | |

| Dual duty and LOUD Well I've managed to make a deal on a set of the new tyler acoustics pd 80's. They should be exactly what I was looking for. They are used and I had to give up my trusty Mcintosh mc 300 and some cash for them. I won't get the speakers for a couple... | |
