| Best amps for Totem hawks?? please help Abramsmatch, You thought the A5 was boring with Totem speakers? Funny, that's the same way I felt about listening to the Bel Canto S300i driving the Usher Be-718 - Ho Hum, didn't ring my "Bel" so to speak. Which is also funny because that's the sa... | |

| 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... | |

| Plinius 9100 vs 9200 Agree with the power cord comment, but my guess is that you are already using a good cord. If you haven't tried a different/better cord - say a good Shunyata helix or equivalent - you might go there first to see what that does to smooth out the hi... | |
| Dynaudio Audience 72 vs. 72SE Agree that the Onkyo and 72 series will be fine in a large room.The 72SE also has a Contour S tweeter. A much more sophisticated speaker system overall than the 72 in the same relatively plain wrapper.The Onkyo will likely not get the most out of ... | |
| new to me turntable and preamp Grado cartridges often hum a little bit (mine do but I still love the way they sound) even if the table is well grounded - apparently due to interaction with EMF around TT motor. Perhaps the Bellari accentuates this hum more than some other amps. ... | |
| 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... |
