| Monoblocks for Sonus Faber Guarneri ? You may consider vertically biamping with a pair of quality ss amps. I've been using a pair of Blue Circle BC-28 hybrids to drive Meadowlark Blue Herons (not a particularly difficult load) with noticeably more powerful and articulate bass. I've bi... | |

I've just gone through a quite unintentional comparison among a modest tube-based line stage, a passive, and custom solid state preamp of simple circuit design with... |
