| Experience with Parasound P5? Thx for all the input. I really like the sound of the amps I have and really want to see if I can improve this with a good pre. I used a Luminous audio passive for a while. It was good with the Mac but not the ATI. The Mac is really the main amp.A... | |
| Help selecting integrated amp for ls50 I run a Marantz PM8500 with my Kef R300 which are very similar to the ls50. Infect, the ls50s were the other speakers I auditioned side by side itch the R300 and the Marantz.The amp delivered nicely with both speakers. I went with the R300 due to ... | |
| How old of McIntosh SS stereo anp I run 2 amps both specced out by Terry DeWick when I got them, an MC250 which was recommended by Terry as very reliable. It was one of Macs 1st ss units and was designed and voiced like their MC275. I tried mine next to a 275 and it was very close... | |
| Looking to build a system for under $5k I live in HI where there are 2 dealers, neither of which is open most of the time. Since my in-laws live in DE I looked there and found Overture Audio, one of the best dealers in the US. They sell the full range of stuff from entry level to Devial... | |

| Need Small Bookshelf Speakers With a Big Sound I had the same issue with the LS50. Instead, I got the KefR300. It is to my ears better than the LS on the bass end and a little less bright on the high. In piano black it looks great in my living room and my wife is good with the look. I thought ... | |
| An inexpensive amp/preamp/integrated for Zu bookshelf speakers Might want to check out Rega Brio or the new Schiit Ragnarok. Both are reasonably priced and perform well enough to still be audiophile quality. Lots written on them online too. | |
| ATI amplifiers I have a 1502 which I like alot. I have had it for 6-7 years and it has been very reliable and a solid performer. I cycle it in and out of my rig along with a rebuilt Mac 250 and Marantz PM8500. I agree it is under-rated by audiophiles. | |
