Rogue Amps: Unlike other Tube amps
I auditioned the Rogue 99 Magnum head to head with the CJ 17LS and the Cary SLP2002 yesterday. The Cary had a unique room filling sound that is not what I expect in Audiophile heaven. However the sound will definatley appeal to some. The Rogue how...

Bryston 7B Vs. Krell KAV250a
Foreverhifi, I usually agree with most of you comments and opinions but I strongly disagree here. I recently purchased a new Bryston 14BSST. I searched extensively and looked at many amps available under $10,000. I did not want to go that high but... 
any comments on the rotel 1066 surround processor?
does gettign an older Classe or other brand compromise on the newer formats and technology available? I am in a similar situation, if you see my post on the amp/preamp page. I need an inexpensive pre/pro for video duties while I upgrade my 2 chann...

Bryston amps VS the rest... too clear and neutral?
Marakanetz, your comments about Bryston are confusing. If I read correctly your are not a big fan of Bryston, however, your system link shows a couple of bryton components. Only asking because I to am looking into the Brystom 7bst monoblocks to po... 
which amp for legacy focus
I spoke to legacy, of course they want to sell amps so they love the idea, I guess I have a been there done that attitude and want something new. They think biamping is an excellent idea and would open the speakers up a lot. Not sure if I need to ...
