| Ayre or Rowland Amp? I think you will miss your tubes, honestly.Might want to go to a BAT which is considerably easier to retube than the ARC. Also, a great combination.And yes, I've owned the Rowland 201s. Sure, they are great to look at, but I found them fairly ster... | |
| ARC Reference 2 MkII Preamp white noise levels Do you prefer the ARC sonically to the BAT btw? Curious | |
| Anyone heard the new Talon Firehawk yet? I thought they sounded thin at CES. But, showroom conditions aren't the best.I'm kind of sticker-shocked at 23kThe Firebirds used to be priced right around there. Doesn't seem like a lot of value in the smaller version. I have a friend who I think... | |

| Kharma 3.2 to MidiGrand Upgade??? 30x40' room and you use 3.2????You must have 0 bass. | |
| Best Floorstander Under 10K? I like the Wilson Sophia in that price range. | |
| Best and Worst sound at the CES Show 2004 I really liked the Vandersteen/Joule room a lot. To me, easily best of show.That said, I'm not a Vandersteen fan. Go figure :)Many of my friends like the ARC/Wilson room the best. |
