CAT versus OTLs and Merlin
I have heard the Merlin/Joule match and thought it was very nice. I also heard the Merlin/CAT match and thought they were very different. It was about a year in between listening, but I think I preferred the Joule combo slightly. I also have a har...

2ohms, 4ohms, 8ohms, which to hookup too?

Stenersr: Your personal experience with C_S is not really the point here. I have no doubt that in a personal relationship he might be entirely different. Especially if he is trying to make a sale. If you look at his past posts he has a real histor...

Howie: Cinematic_Systems is attempting to create controversy and be obnoxious. This is his history. He does not know what he is talking about and is not worth your time and effort. 
Wilson Audio, Talon, Rockport and B&W

Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier
Cinematic_Systems: Mike's room does not "suck out" frequencies below 30Hz. His room has too much volume for the speakers to properly pressurize at those frequencies.I have tried CAT JL-1 LE's on the Kharma Midi's as well as other high current, hig... 
Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier
Jafox: John, great experience. I have always been a fan of Ken Steven's amplifiers and preamplifiers. He over builds everything he sells and there is a lot to say about that. My only complaint with Ken is if you get him on the phone, plan on being...
