Shoot-out I would like to see - Berning ZH270 vs.
BTW, The Atma-spheres were much clearer sounding but the Bernings had a tiny bit better sense of dimensionality . 
Is anyone else getting annoyed with...
Stealth93es: I chose the redhead and have been paying for it ever since! :) 
Eidolon, Amati Homage, or Watt?
I am a dealer, but I will try to be impartial. I have a customer who owned the Eidolon's and they drove him nuts. He tried everything he could to get rid of a very nasty bass bump at about 80-90 hz, but could not do it. He had the ARC Ref 300 MKII... 
how many have a WAF?
My wife says I am happy. :) 
Shoot-out I would like to see - Berning ZH270 vs.
I have heard both and for my ears, prefer the Atma-spheres. It would make for a very interesting comparison. Since the M60's were also sold as kits, I would be very careful if you buy one. Make sure you find out the history of the amplifier and wh... 
Which speaker for "bright" room? Brand A, B orC?
What are your room dimensions? Describe the surfaces. Describe your current setup. It is possible that you may not have the ideal placement currently and that may add to an already "bright" room. I have heard major differences in a room just by sm... 
Really dumb question about Atmasphere amps
I would say both Phild and Tireguy are correct. I have to commend you on your choice. They are very fine amplifiers with a great reliability track record. I have owned the MA2 MK II.2's and they were magnificent. I have also spent quite a bit of t... 
Help Bat VK60 owners...lost a channel...
I am pretty sure it is a fuse in the VK60. You will have to check them. Do you have anything that tests fuses? 
SS amps. Why so much power?
Sean: So are you saying that a fairly average 100 watt solid state amplifier would prefer to drive an 8 ohm load to that of a 2 ohm load? 
Day amp arrives Cashier check returned
Myraj: It is possible to stop a casheir's check. All one has to do is tell the bank that it was lost.I bet the guy comes through. I like giving people the benefit of the doubt. 
electrical phase
Bravo Albert! 
Getting mold or mildew off old record jackets
Why would you care about damaging the mold or mildew? :) 
SS amps. Why so much power?
Most solid state amplifiers prefer low impedance speakers. Most tube amplifiers prefer higher impedance speakers. On a reasonably high impedance speaker, a much lower powered tube amplifier should be able to drive the speaker better than a high po... 
Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270
There is a point of diminishing returns when we talk about high-end audio. One has to spend quite a bit more money to get that last bit of refinement. The Tenor's are MUCH better than the Berning's, given the proper speaker match. The Lamm's are b... 
Any Piega p 10 users out there?
Allegro12: I assure you the sound of violins on the P10's is exceptional. One piece that comes to mind is Haydn's Opus 76 performed by Quatuor Msaiques. The timberal accuracy is amazing as well as the inner detail and texture of the instruments.Th...
