| odyssey kismet monpblock Owned them for for 3 years. Overall for the money a good amp. Pros: run very cool and only draw about 35 watts at idle, very smooth sounding amp, good detail and transparent window, able to drive low impedance speakers.Cons: lack weight, cooler cl... | |
| Goldmund, not much inside, but ultra expensive. Yes research & developmental are cost factors, but their prices are ultra expensive, not mere expensive. This research & development cost must translate into cutting edge sound given the price that one must pay to play: does it? | |
| What is the best 5k-plus Preamp with balanced outs and Phono stage? The most expensive one! LOL | |
| Luxman m-900u owners - quick question I’ve owned the M900U for six months now. I’ve purchased over 30 amps in my lifetime and it’s clearly the best I’ve ever owned. I leave the unit on all the time and mine never gets hot, just warm. Adequate ventilation is a must. | |
| Power Amplifier Longevity Also depends on how well the unit was tacked care of. People tend to confine their equipment to small closed in spaces with very little ventilation. Heat will greatly reduce a component life span. | |

| Upgrading from Sopra 3 to Maestro utopia iii what to expect? Stella’s are too big. Sopra’s are a great speaker. Replaced a pr of Revel salon 2 for them and they were definitely a upgrade. Always wanted to get a pr of utopia’s and the opportunity has arrived. | |
| help me to choose an amp for Focal Maestro Luxman m900u is the amp to have to drive those low impedances. Incredible value for the money. Competes with ultra expensive hi-end amplifiers at a fraction of their cost. | |
| Luxman M900u stereo vs Mono setup True the need to run the M900u in mono would be unnecessary if it solely based on a speaker that was easy to drive. I’ve heard the M900u in mono is vastly superior to one in stereo, sonically speaking. | |
| Soulution 511 vs. Luxman m900 Yes the Luxman is pin 2- in its normal position, but it also has a setting for 2+. | |
| What is wrong with a sub? Never had much success integrating a sub in a 2 channel system.Always found it reduced upper frequencies transparency even when set up right. | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad Never a good thing it will kill your center image. I’ve been through hell and back trying to solve this same issue without spending thousands on longer cables to position the rack to the side. I’ve found by using a low profile rack can help, but n... | |
| What happened to Audio Research G Series The G series was aimed at the Far East market. The actual design of the series had more to do with looks than sound quality. Though, not a bad sounding series, it’s parts, circuit design and sound quality where not worth what ARC was asking for t... | |
| Kimber select jumper cables anybody use them ? Thanks tpreaves! It’s guys like him that ruin these threads. They must not have the ability to keep their mouth shut when nobody wants to hear from them. | |
| Revel salon 2 break-in period? Every speaker I’ve own from new sounded substantially better after a considerable breakin period. Depending on the speaker breakin period could go from 100-500 hrs.As to The mention of DR. Sean Olive perspective regarding speaker breakin I don’t p... |
