| BAT VK-200 or Odyssey Stratos for Magiess 1.6s? For the price of a used vk-200 you can get a dual mono Odyssey Stratos. I've owned the vk-500, currently own the vk-60 monos and Odyssey Stratos monos. The Odyssey is a very clean sounding solid state amp with plenty of current and oomph that the ... | |
| Best speaker 3k to 4k used? Try soliloquy 6.5. Agree with the Martin Logan suggestion as well. Avoid speakers from companies going out of business. Also Silverline does not extend warranty to second owner, had bad experience with the finish and no viable recourse. Best bet i... | |
| who repairs sonic frontiers? Sonic Frontiers will support the products, but they have to be sent to Canada which is an expensive hassle. Great stuff, but questionable value if a repair is needed. | |
| Any louspeakers that has a transferable warrantee? Silverline Audio will not honor it's warranty other than the original purchaser. I owned a pair of Sonata II's and Mr. Yun wanted $2000 to replace the defective pair. Perhaps it was a deal, but I wasn't interested. Part of the gamble of buying use... | |

| Seek Tube Amp to Flip-Flop with SS Amp On the less expensive side: Rogue 120 or Magnum 88. | |
| What AMP/PRE for Audio Physic Tempo 3i/Cary 303 CD Why not look at the Cary preamps? Model 88 or 2002? Also the DJH version of the AE-3. | |
| Active crossovers Have you thought about converting them to the vr5's?Might be a more rewarding project. Again, I'd talk to Albert or VSA about it. | |
| BAT 5se VS 50se? PS both use the 6H30 tubes. | |
| Thoughts for a system for 5000 Go with Rogue tube gear, Soliloquy 5.0 or pick up the Tyler Reference monitors. That will get him started at $2500-$3000 + cd player. Can also add a sub for the rock and latin stuff. Look at Hsu for best bang for the buck. | |
