Parasound HCA2200II , Yeah or No-Way!
Years ago, I was expeimenting with a set up similar to what you are trying to accomplish. I tried the Muse 100, Classe 70, Spectral DMA100, Parasound HCA1200..but the winner was by far a Symphonic Line RG1 Mk2. The Symphonic Line wa the closest am... 
Kinergetics SW200 rip-off ??
frogman, you probably know this but in case you dont, the sa4 uses 6lf6 tubes which are extremley hard to find at any price. If they were available, id still own the SA4's and the f81's for that matter, one of the best setups ive owned. Good luck ... 
Kinergetics SW200 rip-off ??
frogman I used the f81's with Countepoint sa4 OTL's and got the itch for some upper bass. A friend would come into my listening room and mimic a musician giving the thumbs up to a the soundboard guy to turn up the bass. I tried going solid state w... 
Kinergetics SW200 rip-off ??
frogman, when I was using f81's I ran into the same problems you are experiencing when using Janis w1. Remembering your past post, I stand by my response at the time that the f81's are best enjoyed as they are and adding a sub does this great spea...

If you visit the Bay Area you might want to negotate a week here, as there indeed are several (20?) dealers within a 50 mile radius.

Are there more tirekickers now vs. then?
(sorry) I should add to my above post..the guy offered to buy the cables off my Audioshoper ad at a negotiated price. Then vansihed for a week, then claimed to be out of cash, then resurfaced off an Audiogon ad 2 days later. (My apolgies to my unf... 
Are there more tirekickers now vs. then?
Believe me, there are more Robin Wyatt's out there. I feel for you, I had a guy ask about some speaker cables I had for sale on Audioshoper, we went thru a volley of several emails. When the time came to confirm payment he vanished. I sent 2 court... 
Best Power Conditioner
If you are looking used, my vote goes to a Seakay Line Rover 1200, one of the best purchases ive made here off Audiogon. It is a parrallel filter which does not current limit, something that I think is important. 
Buyer Beware!
Im not sure what you point is here, I saw an ad this week for a Counterpont Phone Pre Pre amp @ 5% of retail and immediatly emailed the seller and got no answer. Well, I just rolled with it and such is life. I dont think a seller has any obligatio...
