Scott Nixon USBTD vs Wavelength Brick
I only went with the Cosecant after owning the Brick, and I didn't do it for sonic reasons, because the Brick sounds great. I did it for systems matching, and quite honestly at this point I should probably consider the Crimson myself since I am in... 
MC402 vs FPB 300cx
Audphile1- I would LOVE a pair of Diamonds. Once I am finished with the AMP, I will look into it. They are nice.

Joeyboy, I am buying an FPB 400cx, in the process of settling on one now.

Hi Mike, you make some good points, there may have been something wrong with the unit. It's certainly a possibility. Although it didn't sound like there were any major problems, which you can usually pick up on that pretty quickly. There was one o...

You might consider the Brick, sounds like a better value for you and it sounds wonderful.

I will let you know how it compares...What is the rest of your system like? If you like upsampling, which can sound good, then you should look into something that can play those. I personally think those formats are a waste of time. Not to mention...

Guys, I was in the same exact boat as you both, not wanting to spend a mint on this stuff and just simply not knowing how the pricier stuff would sound. I have to say I am glad I went with Wavelength for more than just the sound. Gordon is awesome...

One other point I would make here Florian...Have you listened to Krell and Mac, and literally A/B'd the two? If you have please forgive, but it seems you lack the experience and only have printed reviews to give you ANY insight into the Krell soun...

Morris, Steve knows his stuff...He has alot of experience with Wavelength. Lucky duck has the Crimson! 
MC402 vs FPB 300cx
Lack experience? I lugged this crappy amp home, listened critically for days and hours, and I lack experience? Hey Florian newsflash, you sound like an offended Mac owner. Rather than arguing and stooping to your level I will simply say, that quot... 
MC402 vs FPB 300cx
So now that I am back to my Krell I can make a better more accurate comparison in what I heard in comparing my Krell (KAV) and the MC402. MC402- very detailed, quiet, nice bass, not overly tight, but not boomy either. Full spectrum of the music re...

I just went back to my Krell, and WOW. It feels good to be home. Sounds better in everyway, no harshness at the same volume level. Maybe I just keep this amp, the Mac gave me a new found respect for it. 
MC402 vs FPB 300cx
Sorry to be harsh on em, and I don't mean to offend..I just think this thing is overpriced for what one would get. But you make a good point on system synergy, maybe it doesn't sound good with B&W or VTL. Only thing I would say to that is that...

Morris...SACD and DVD-A will die out soon trust me...They have gone virtually nowhere since there introduction...Too few titles etc. Gordon configures his pieces according to the Red Book CD standard. Upsampling sounds silly to me on most systems ... 
MC402 vs FPB 300cx
Hassel-this is a dealer demo, not a new piece so no need for break in. I hear different responses for different types of music....I feel overall this would be a compromise for my tastes. There is no doubt to me though, that there is just an emptin...
