roxy544,641 Ummmm, I didn’t buy it because it is more expensive. Not sure when you last check but McIntosh does make a $90,000.00 amplifier, smh. It’s called the McIntosh MC2kw. See what I mean folks. Homework please, homework, lol.

Also, more expensive never means better. Look at what Corvette is doing to the auto industry now with their mid engine vehicle or what Dodge Viper Acer did to 10 out of 13 track records, lol. You never know, lol!

I haven’t tried the Wavvac gear. I heard that they are pretty darn good. I just can’t part ways with my Cary Audio SLP05 Preamp with the Ultimate Upgrade, Cardis Wiring and tube rolled. It is dual chassis. Love it. Here is a review of the unit.htt...

My new amplifier replacing the Krell solid state will be the CH Precision A1.5:-) I like to have tube and solid state. I tend to swap back and forth depending on my listing taste. It will be my first time owning that brand.

gavman66 postsboth Krell and Boulder make incredible products. But from experience, in order for Krell to sound its best, you definitely have to use other Krell products that uses the Cast Cabling. It is truly remarkable with that connection. The ...

Folks really truly have issues especially when politics come to play. They don’t do their homework, they just talk. I’m sure they also took place in the negative notion of Facebook, Twitter, etch and was highly upset that the system was shut down ...

I’ve covered the globe with different brands of equipment as I’m sure most of you have. Let’s cut to the chase because I use to be negative like some of the S… Starters here. At the end of the day, it’s big company VS little company. If you have h... 
Looking For Best Headphones
Sorry, but that’s really not helpful. I’m looking for someone who has some experience with these options. I’m limited with the option to listen to most of them. Thanks anyway.

REL vs JL AUDIO
pimbo12 postsI will stack up any day my JL Audio 6W3 subwoofers,  my JL Audio 8W7, or even Boston Acoustic Pro Series 8 or 10” subwoofers to Dynaudio top of the line subs. Been there and done that. I competed in IASCA Car Audio competition for SQ ... 
REL vs JL AUDIO
By the way I’m not utilizing the CR-1 Crossover from JL Audio, I’m using the Wilson Audio Active Sub Controller with the Active Crossover for the subs and speakers. I can control both of them. It helps with better integration for my system.  
REL vs JL AUDIO
mijostyn5,067 I use to have 2 Martin Logan Balancedforce 210 subs that did okay with my system. They utilize Balancedforce better than any other company. As good as there subs were, I felt even with their microphone setup, it overloaded the bass w... 
REL vs JL AUDIO
I think that they are on the same level. It depends on how you want to Intergrade your system. I just trust JL Audio and being an American company, in-expensive and easy for them to repair. Honestly you couldn’t go wrong with either. Also the look... 
REL vs JL AUDIO
I use my JL Audio Fathoms with Wilson Audio Maxx 2’s with the special Wilson Audio Crossover. What a difference it makes with the right equipment.
