| Has anyone use bel canto s125's with totem forests Honesty and based on my costly experience, i'd plan on keeping your AV system separate from music (stereo) system. For your AV system amplification could be provided cost effectively via new or second hand 5.1/7.1 AVR's. There are some great deals... | |

| Has anyone use bel canto s125's with totem forests If the system is placing music as the over-riding priority then i'm not sure you will gain long term satisfaction using a home theatre pre-amp? Would you consider a separate dedicated integrated stereo amplifier to drive the front two channels for... | |
| hybrid solid state amps And if you only feel like taking a punt on a lower cost Vincent (similar to the SV-236 but not the same) you could always consider the Sheng Ya A10CS . It sounds great for the money. | |
| hybrid solid state amps Unison Research (Italy) also does some interesting hybrid products at and well below your budget.For your budget you may be able to find a second hand AMR AM-77 which is a hybrid from the UK. | |

| Bel Canto Ref 1000 vs. Spectron Musician III Mk 2 What I would be interesting in learning, from both current owners and past owners of the Spectron amps is the following:What are its greatest attributes?At what points is its performance not notably better or worse than most other high quality am... | |
| Sanders Magtech Amp or Bryston 4B-SST2 4 Mags 3.6 I own a Sander Magtech amp but have not used it on electrostats. That is good because the Magtech is actually designed for dynamic speakers not ESL's. Mr. Robert E. Greene of TAS used the Magtech during his review of the Kingsound Prince II speak... | |

| Bel Canto Ref 1000 vs. Spectron Musician III Mk 2 07-20-10: Michael_moskowichHello Kiwi,About an year and a half ago, I also posted the same question as you did (my speakers are WATT/Puppy 8 soon to be replaced by Sasha, most power hungry speakers in Wilson line).The same Ajackson urged me not t... | |

| Bel Canto Ref 1000 vs. Spectron Musician III Mk 2 07-20-10: MapmanBC ref100mkII is definitely not for those looking for very warm tube sound in an amp.My experience is it delivers what is fed into it, ie if you use tube pre-amp and/or source, the sound of those will be delivered, but does not de... | |
| Bel Canto Ref 1000 vs. Spectron Musician III Mk 2 07-18-10: RadicalsteveKiwi,I owned the Spectrons (monoblocks with bybee and v-caps) with my CLX's. They were very nice with my ML ReQuests, but with the enormous resolving power of the CLX's I found the Spectrons were brittle, lacking in depth and... | |
| Bel Canto Ref 1000 vs. Spectron Musician III Mk 2 07-19-10: MapmanI've never heard Spectron but the bass with BC ref1000mk2 is interesting. When I first heard them compared to my prior amp, a Musical Fidelity A3CR, I wondered where the bass was. It turned out it was there more than ever just so ... |
