| Tube amps that kick ass? Dan_ed: What you said is entirely possible but your argument should be directed to Albert because I just posted my opinion which admittedly is very subjective and relative, but not directed at proving someone wrong. So, long as we keep that basic ... | |
| Tube amps that kick ass? No, the TRL have no rolled off in any of the speakers that I tried. But the VTLs were. We also tried them a friend's B&W 802 and we concluded the same. I owned all of these amps. This is based on my listening and I have not read any review nor... | |

| tube amp for Apogee Tweeter mid-range Scott:You can try Audio valve or Antique SOund Lab.I agree with Dave that bi-amping is a waste of time.B-amping (many many combinations) never worked for me because of lack of coherence. My current configuration is Apogee full range (modified) dri... |
