| Best amps for Totem hawks?? please help Bobrock - read here for one critic's comments about the A5 - predecessor to the A5.5. http://6moons.com/audioreviews/musicalfidelity/A5_2.htmlI couldn't agree more. | |

| When did the Hi-Fi sound mature? Thanks Al, good stuff. I had read somewhere that the early Mark Levinson JC-1 preamplifier (John Curl one?) was one of the first pieces to be acknowledged as challenging tubes for use in "high end" systems. One of the reasons Parasound raised eyeb... | |
| When did the Hi-Fi sound mature? Al,Thanks for the summary, especially interested in your answer to no. 4.My first experience with HiFi was my dad's HH Scott tube receiver and his tank-like Garrard turntable around 1962. He had mounted large full range speakers in the rafters of ... | |

| Best amps for Totem hawks?? please help If you like the way it sounds, that is all that really matters. | |
| new to me turntable and preamp Bellari is better than Parasound IMHO. | |
| Best amps for Totem hawks?? please help They are outstanding - weigh a ton. Very neutral and lots of current. Haven't heard them with the Hawks but they sure sound great with Vienna Acoustic floor standers. | |
| Best amps for Totem hawks?? please help Yes, the A5.5 is good - lots of power to take control of woofers and air in the Hawk cabinets. I have heard it's precursor the A5 with some small B&W floor standers and some Revel stand mounts and it was wonderful in both cases. I have heard t... | |
| speakers fo PrimaLuna Prologue One. ProLogue seven's are about twice as powerful as the one. With that said, the Dali's would probably sound pretty good with the ProLogue one as well. I was going to suggest the Ikon or Mentor lines. |
