In the past, I have owned a pair of Arcs and have listened side by side to the curves and the acts several years ago driven by Theta and then by Audio Research. The arcs are great for monitors. The Curves are nice but nothing remarkable, especiall...

bump....no early adopters here? 
Potential seller's strange policy
What country is the seller from? I see that your country is Russia which (no offense intended toward you whatsoever, only the potential seller) barely beats out Nigeria as far as potential transactional issues are concerned. There is always anothe... 
New speaker technology vs. Old speaker tech???
I heard the speakers in their room at the show. They were not bright, some of these amateur reviewers....jeez.I have no affiliation at all, dont own their products nor do I know them personally other than their courtesies extended while in their r... 
random thoughts on THE Show
I think the car stuff is probably unnecesary, few Lambo candidates in the crowd that I saw. The new venue works better. The thing that got me chuckling is that when we regular folks are trying to see and get a listen, the occasional "reviewer" fro... 
ARC Ref 110 with KT 150 tubes
The thing about dealers and manufacturers to consider; for audio shows they may have also installed different value resitors, redesigned a circuit, changed a power supply, etc, etc. I'm not saying don't try KT150's, just understand the risks witho... 
Best integrated up to $6000
Dayglow, you are correct about the Audio Research VSI75 and VAC 160 being above the price point mentioned when new however I have seen both listed for sale here on Audiogon near $6,000 from time to time. The ARC VSI60 is probably the amp to consid... 
Best integrated up to $6000
No offense to anyone on this thread or any amp I mention, YMMV and speaker selection matters immensely. I've owned some great integrateds, they were all terrific in their own right but....the VAC Avatar was really nice...a really fine el34 integra... 
Audioresearch VSi75 VS. PrimaLuna
B_limo, no problem, I'm always available to help a fellow 'goner if I can be of service! ;)david is correct, the Ref 75 is at another level from the vsi75. I made my decision for my listening environment, needs and balanced that with my desire for... 
Audioresearch VSi75 VS. PrimaLuna
No offense intended but the Prima Luna doesn't play on the same field as the Audio Research VSI75 nor should it considering the price differential. I think the world of Kevin Deal, Upscale Audio and the Prima Luna equipment. It is some of the most... 
Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage
Bo1972 has been conspicuously absent from Audiogon. I hope he is ok and not just sitting in the corner of a room in self imposed exile upon discovering that he he arrogantly scolded a world class audio designer by accident. Bo, show some character... 
Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage
Tom, I kind of enjoy waiting for the next pronouncement from Bo....I just sit back amazed that some things are actually considered by some people to be normal behavior. He actually thinks he's being profound in each of his posts although I also po... 
Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage
Ding-ding-ding!!! We have a winner!!!Bo, you have now crossed the threshold from which there is no return. It is now apparent to even the casual observer that you are, in fact, quite rude! It is also obvious that you intended to talk out of your b... 
Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage
Dear Bo,I actually didn't expect further arrogance from such an indefensible position but from your above quote: "It is as it is. Maybe it sounds hard, it is not rude. Words can be read differently." It appears you just may not know any better!Her... 
Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage
Dear Bo,Your tone of voice in your posts and your positioning of yourself as an expert of monumental proportions just suffered a severe blow. The way you rudely and summarily dismissed Atmasphere's comment is at once shocking and yet very telling....
