| ARC LS15: did they ever use Mundorf MCaps on it ? Both versions of the LS15 sound different than the other, the LS25 and LS25ll are also different. They all have different sounds, not simply better or worse. None are worth buying without a listen. | |
| Portal Audio Panache or Marantz PM8004 I have the Panache and think it sounds great, and do not miss the features at all. In addition, if you listen to headphones, the headphone jack on the Portal is connected to the main amp and is as good as many headphone amps selling for the price ... | |
