| Arc Ref 75se vs D'Agostino Momentum Stereo Dev- do you prefer the ARC combo vs. SET on your AGs (presume you have Duo XDs now?). I've always enjoyed following your experiences from your Vac/MBL days... | |
| Would an ARC Ref 6 be a good match for a VTL S200? I'd probably demo a VTL preamp first. | |
| Arc Ref 75se vs D'Agostino Momentum Stereo So you received a *replacement* Ref 75SE and are going to sell it? Sounds like ARC went above and beyond normal expectations.I have a Ref 75SE with no problems after several thousand hours. I would make sure the unit isn't enclosed in a rack or so... | |
| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K Blindjim- I auditioned both at length and prefer the more "modern" sound of the Gibbon Xs vs the Orangutans. Particularly in the bass, which I feel is a bit loose on the Os for my tastes in music. I also do not like SET amplification, so the extra... | |

Hey Parsons, tbh I think Soul Supremes and Druids should pair well with the same amps as they use the same drivers - Defs are a bit different as they are tougher to drive. I have heard a zillion amps with Zu, so this is my experience.For SS:FirstW... | |
| Upgrade Quandary: Ref 75SE vs Ref 150 (non SE) I would not buy a non-SE ARC amp - the sonic gains are too much. I would save up for a Ref150SE or get a Ref 75SE in the interim and see how it performs. | |
| Best Tube Amp For Sonus Faber? Or Pass XA-100.5? $6-7,500 Budget, Purchasing Used. ARC Ref 150SE makes the most sense with the SF measurements. | |
| PranaFidelity speakers, what say you? Sounded great at the LA Audio Show this past weekend. Seemed like a good value. | |
