Matching surround speakers
I have the latest McIntosh MX160 AV Processor with Room Correction. My source will be the Oppo UDP-205 
Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna?
PL doesn't have balance amp.I just performed a blind test on my wife. Using PrimaLuna Premium HP and MC601 with PSB T6 and Wilson Alexia.She likes the sound from PL on both speakers. She claims both speakers sound smooth and deeper bass than MC601... 
Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna?
Oh yeah. Slept well. Engine starts again.Seriously, it's hard to differentiate now. The more I play the mc601, the better it sounds thru the C1100 on PSB T6. I used to play it with Marantz AV8801.it seems PL and MC601 sounds pretty similar thru C1... 
Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna?
I got the PL dialouge premium hp loaner and listening to it all night long. I compare to the MC601. I am no where near audiophile level but I do notice the difference, not a lot. Maybe because my Preamp is already tube. I think the PL sounds mello... 
Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna?
I think they are good too but just need to check since I am new to tube and not familiar with their name.Wondering those who bought a $35,000 amps just because they can afford and it's more of lifestyle or the $35k gears truly that great?PrimaLuna... 
Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna?
How would you guys compare it to the higher priced AR, T+A, CA, VTL, Rouge, Mcintosh? In term of parts quality?I think I can afford some of the high end amps but I dont want to be stupid spending 5-6 times for lesser quality.  
MX160 Stereo performance vs c2600 / c1100 dedicated stereo preamp....
@ joey_vI am not downgrading. I just move the C1100 to my bedroom if it really cannot fit in the rack while below the max height I want. Ideally, I want the C1100 to be in the main system but if I cannot make it physically to fit then I cannot. As... 
MX160 Stereo performance vs c2600 / c1100 dedicated stereo preamp....
@ yakbob. There isn't much review of the MX160 but I was told they are pretty good. I am sure C1100 and MX160 will sound different just because one is Tube and one is SS? But how good the MX160 is yet to know. Yeah, I actually already have the MX1... 
High Current Outlet for Amps?
I do not think the electrician will risk his license to install something violated the code just because I look handsome :DDDDD 
MX160 Stereo performance vs c2600 / c1100 dedicated stereo preamp....
I have both C1100 and MX160. If i try to squeeze in the C1100 then the rack will be super high. Unless I can stack the C1100 and also Sony player and Oppo without much cooling space. 
MX160 Stereo performance vs c2600 / c1100 dedicated stereo preamp....
Question. Ideally, can you stack C1100 together and also Oppo203 and Sony HAP-Z1ES together? What is the ideal cooling space? Thank you. 
Do you think my cable length setup will have much effect or may hear the difference?
Safe! Thank you 
High Current Outlet for Amps?
thanks for all the info. I am just gonna have him install the 30amp and few extra outlet since I only have to pay for the parts only, which is less than $200 for additional 8 outlets and 8 dedicated circuit breakers - 30amps.I will plug all my 6 a... 
High Current Outlet for Amps?
Well, my concern is not cost because the current remodel requires new circuit and cable anyway so it's just something quick for the electrician and cost me next to nothing. Now, the 30amp outlet plug is different shape than the ordinary 20amp? As ...
