New Wilson - Wamm Master
@jayrossi13 , I think 2 VAC Phi 200s will work fine.    I remembered Kevin Hayes used 2 VAC Phi 200s with KingSound King's at shows.Kind of interesting but one VAC 200iq driving Sabrina was more resolving then MSB with Alexx.    I think 2 VAC 200i... 
New Wilson - Wamm Master
I was also lucky enough to hear the Wilson/MSB demo at Fidelis AV. From a visual stand point the Alexx are definitely an acquired taste, but the sound was truly amazing. The soundstage encompassed the entire room and the sense of scale was reall...

Synergistic Red Fuse ...
I’m using a SR Black large15A slo-blo in my Hegel H30 and never had a failure. Since SR doesn’t offer a large 7A slo-blo, using 6.3A SR Black in ARC Ref250SE and zero failures. According to the spec, each mono can draw up to 10A instantaneously. I... 
Tube Power Amp Suggestions
There are certainly some very good options out there in that price range. I kind of avoid the ones that are mass marketed, the big names. Why?  If similar SQ, I'll go big names.  Easier to get service than boutique in MOST circumstances. 
Tube Power Amp Suggestions
This may not be a very popular response to the SET vs. 91db speaker question, but after trying many SET amps on my 94db Coincident speakers, and not finding the "SET magic" that I wanted, I bought a more efficient (96db Cessaro Chopin) speaker a... 
Pass Labs INT 60 VS. Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP VS. Arcam A49
OP, If you cannot demo both before purchase and from my experience with Wilson, get the Pass.   My brother has a Pass Labs INT 60 and is terrific.  It's more linear than most Pass class A models.  1st 30 watts Class A and weights 93 lbs, it's a be...

My Macmini and external drive are not hardwired to my router. Is this considered a wireless transfer ? Yes.  Transfer software is running on the mini and has to wirelessly send the data to router. Should i stop the transfer and wire the Mini ? Y...

brownsfan, I have 60's Telefunken e88cc and is excellent.    I'll investigate canadian Westinghouse VU-71 ...I've had MW 6SN7s and agree MW Sony with Lundahl transformer coupling and 6922/e88cc are more transparent and neutral.  I wasn't planning ...

New Wilson - Wamm Master
It's $600k according to Peter McGrath. In a Wilson Alexx Seminar last Sat at Fidelis in Nashua, NH, he mentioned there are already 27 WAMM pre-orders.What's interesting is, WAMM and Alexx share the same drivers except WAMM has 2 additional midran... 
VAC Sig or Zanden 3100
mbump, Be aware VAC Signature MKIIa SE is a HUGE improvement in SQ over VAC Signature MKIIa.   I had mine upgraded and couldn't believe the improvements.  GL! 
Why pay so much for super high end?
However, to state that Magico drivers are much better then Seas, Scan Speak or Accuton, just because they are made in house, is a matter of opinion and taste in sound. Some people love Wilson....but I would never own one. The same could be said fo... 
Why pay so much for super high end?
How nice. He joined today to save us from ourselves. I don't want to be saved. The phrase "don't throw me in the briar patch" comes to mind! Probably one of the troll's in Raidho thread with a new moniker.    Padding each other on the back s...
