| Ever used hybrid power amps? Hello,I have owned a Counterpoint NPS400 for a few years now. What a great sounding amp at an incredible price for driving Magnepan speakers. It has a most neutral tonal balance with no fatigue at all for long listening sessions. It only gives up ... | |
| BAT preamp owners Lvk, everything here gets mixed reviews....all the way up to the super-fi gear here. So much comes down to personal preferences and different compromises that each of us takes in our quest for musical enjoyment. So don't discard BAT gear because p... | |

| amps to match Magnepan MG3.6 Spkrs Hello,As an owner of Maggie series 3 speakers for about 6 years, I have owned many amps, ARC VT-130, ARC CL-150, Counterpoint NPS400, Wolcott and heard Bryston, BelCanto with these speakers. Yes, more powerful amps in the 200+w range are an absolu... | |

| New Years Resolutions What a great thread for the start of the year. I think we all get frustrated here from time to time when we read comments or advice that goes against all that we know and have experienced. The trick is to write a response from the heart without of... | |

| How good is today ARC PH2? Hello,I will chime in here as I owned the LS5 Mk II / PH2 combo for 6 years, which replaced an ARC SP-10 I owned for 8 years. I then changed to the LS5 MK III for one more year, and then moved onto BAT and Aesthetix products. The LS5/PH2 pair was ... | |
| Tara Lab Decade XLR versus AQ Diamond X3 XLR Hello,It's always interesting how each of us has such different experiences, priorities, likes, etc. About 7 years ago I was on a quest to find a great interconnect between my pre (ARC LS5) and amp (ARC CL60). After so much praise on the AQ Diamon... | |
