| Salk HT3 vs VAS VR4jr I don't think the Vac 30/30 would be great on an 85db speaker such as the Salk. | |
| Ayre V-5xe best tube pre-amp to match with? I found the 51SE to be quite a big step up from the 31SE. YMMV. | |
| VAC Phi integrated or 1 preamp + 1 amplifier Anyone know why the price of the Phi Beta went up $3k?Seems a quite costly price adjustment for an American made machine.... | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? No offense guys, but if the ARC sounds muddy after a few hours out of the box, why would ARC sell it that way?It would make more marketing sense to burn them in for the "muddy" period out of the factory, so all customers get a nice unit with the b... | |
| Wilson Sophia matching poweramp BAT VK-75SE. Best one I tried, and fewer tubes, power cords, etc. Cheers,KeithR | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? The 350 hour break-in is suspect as well.Name 1 good reason this should be believed. This thing should sound great after 24 hours of run-in and if not, I would return it. And why is burn-in always good? It can't be by definition but that's all you... | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? And your room is superb Oneobgyn :) I can't wait to hear the Lamms in the near future... | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? Pardon me, i found it well on topic, as others have said Valin says this, valin says that. I was commenting I was shocked how small the room which was shown in TAS as I recall some months ago. I wish we could see ALL reviewers rooms to judge in co... | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? btw, any one see Jonathin Valins room? It's uber-small with Walker smack dab in the center | |
| VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3? Umm, MBL gear has always been stratospheric. Hardly $/Euro issues....which by the way have subsided greatly in the past 1.5 years.ARC and CJ both have upgraditis on the high end. Both have reissued "top of the line" preamps 3x in the past 5 years.... | |
| BAT vs Cary I would talk to BAT and Theta to see if the frequency can be changed.I've owned the SLP 98, BAT 31SE, and BAT 51SE. All are wonderful and very different. The 51SE is spectacular but at a much higher pricing point. The 98 is a great preamp for the ... | |
| Speakers to mate with a Krell Intergrated Dynaudios are a pretty good match with Krell. | |
| Dynaudio C2 versus S5.4 ? I prefer the old 3.0s to the new Contours. Dynaudio has definitely taken a step back with them.I love the C2s and C4s, but at that price there are some other great alternatives (that look better imho) | |
| rowland concerto integrated with wilson sophias BAT 300xSE (used to own it)I had the 201s on my Sophias, and never warmed up to the sound. I bet the big Mc integrated would sound great too. | |
| Help to make a choice: BAT; VAC; E.A.R. I like the old Vac 30/30 for the VAC choice. Would step up to BAT 75SE in that direction.Both sound fantastic and neither are better "by a mile"Cheers, |
