| The most beautiful Integrated Tube amp? Aldosenet - a good place to start is the "Tube Lust" page at "Enjoy the Music" http://www.enjoythemusic.com/tubelust/I'm surprised to find so many votes for Stingray on a post on looks. I find Manley's Stingray to be the wackiest looking amp in th... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century To Bmotorcycle -- you're not alone, I did the same. I ordered the Syrah (line-stage only) just after reading this and other threads like this. Good luck to us both. However, this "3-months" wait is really getting old. My first 3-months of wait for... | |
| Why no threads on OTL amps? I think any mid to high-efficiency speakers (i.e. 89db and up) with 8-ohms (nominal) impedance will work just fine with most OTLs. Unfortunately too many of the popular high-end speakers tend to work at much lower (4 or 5) ohms. I bet one reason f... | |
| Silverline "Sonatina II" vs. Coincident "Victory" Thanks guys & gals -- I've since changed my mind.

I was... | |

| Silverline "Sonatina II" vs. Coincident "Victory" Thank you one and all. You've been most helpful. I have yet to make up mind, but as soon as I do, I will update this post. Hopefully very soon...Just as an FYI, I may choose to trade in my current amp for its big brother the 100wpc OTL in order to... | |
| Looking for speakers to go with Graaf OTL-20 amp - Thank you all for your suggestions. The "Sonatina II" by Siverline might be another choice, however, I am leaning more towards the "Victory" by Coincident based solely on the specs. This also means I must increase my bugdet by $1500 to $4500 since... |
