| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker @ramtubes lol noted, it did cross my mind to get preamp and DAC from Benchmark but I am constrained by using Wavelet. My core concern was stability at or below 4 Ohm bridged. My questions are answered. I am in the process of getting a second amp. ... | |

| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K If you like speakers close to neutral sounding then stay away from Devore and only Harbeth Super HL5plus from Harbeth line up is somewhat neutral(to my ears, did not listen to 40.1 btw).Btw consider speakers you like and not something just for you... | |

| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker @georgehifi Legacy Aeris is spec'd for 500w. I am just considering starting with a setup that does it all when dealer comes to calibrate. If I consider the cost of extra Benchmark it is 10% of my system and I can always sell it or re-purpose it.Th... | |
| Capitol Audio Fest and the New York Audio a trend is emmerging I would wildly speculate that Nordost must have paid Magico to advertise their cables. Apart from that it puzzles me if the speaker cable is $10k then speaker should probably be using same cable internally so the speaker is a steal if discount int... | |

I am looking and specs and reviews from others to consider the pros and cons.@d2girls from what I heard the feed forward error correction is THX. I am not sure if they designed the ampl... | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under @trknomo You story is somewhat similar to mine. But I did not go to RMAF to listen only to Legacy in-fact I read a lot about them before but discounted it. You know if it is too good to be true etc. But I was pleasantly surprised with price to val... | |

Seems like outstanding question is just the damping factor everything... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? Any one done any A/B testing of this preamp with other well known preamps?. | |
| Best amp options between $2k-$4 to power Magnepan 1.7? @mzkmxcv bridged hyped NC400 will have trouble with low impedance speakers. Each NC400 sees half the impedance for speakers and they are only rated for 2 Ohms. | |
