Krell Intergrateds..how come nobody likes em?
the krell, like the mac, the accuphase,and a handfull of other brands like spectral etc., is an iconoclistic company that builds a wonderful product. they are never the flavor of the month and don't need to be. no offense to the other brands you'v... 
Tyler Acoustic vs. Paradigm
the paradigm 'export' (no longer made) was the finest speaker they ever made. as good as anything by anybody 
Did I make a mistake buying Krell?
the krell is your keeper. hook up and play. 
Mcintosh 2275......c2200, mc275 differences ??

CAT vs VTL Sound

CAT vs VTL Sound
dynamic and sizzle are wilson's forte. the vtl and the cat don't add or take anything away from it. even a nad will do the trick. 
CAT vs VTL Sound
THEY SOUND QUITE SIMILAR. BOTH WOULD BE TOTAL OVERKILL FOR ANY WILSON SPEAKER. 
Anyone have info on Chario?

Ever use "switched" outlets on preamp?
dirty shmirty. both my systems have switched and unswitched outlets which are used all the time. one mac,one accuphase and both sound superb. the filter used at the outlet (if you use one) is still just as effective. 
A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx
ok....mr.fremmer is a talented writer and simply worked within a flawed, yet approved, system to purchase speakers he loves. mr. hardesty pointed out that the speakers in question are overpriced and flawed(so far this is nothing new). roy halee bo... 
Performance loss in used amplifiers?
it just purchased a cherry p300 accuphase(35 years old)and it performs to spec. the levinson should be fine.
