| Need some audiogon expertise Creeper, thanks for the input. Yes from all that own the tower 2/R's or the Super Tower R's there hasnt been one person i have heard complain of thin bass. Sogood 51, when i purchased my tower 2 R's they were an easy 8/10. The original owner neve... | |
| Need some audiogon expertise Celtic, in response to cables and interconnects. I have had radio shack ic's in other systems and never had a bass problem and i have always used 12 guage speaker cable so i am not sure if i can go along with that idea. Only because of my previous... | |
| Audible illusions L-1 Pmrodier, just curious were the tubes you got from Upscale the 6H23 type 3's? From all the previous posts i have read folks seem to think they were the best bang for the buck and might out live me if i turn the pre off between listening sessions. ... | |

| Questions about Aragon 2004 MKII Hi, Personally i would not own an aragon 2004 MKII/ 4004 MKII without a tubed preamp. Really settles them down. On my aragon 4004 MKII the highs are not rolled at all. The bass is low and solid. The only area i believe where aragon had some diffic... | |

Mine were not modded in any way so not sure how they compare to the ones you own. Vmps just do so much m... | |
| Power cord? Why? What is this new cable that Corona speaks of? | |
| What's more important; sound or brand name? Sogood51, I believe we share the same passion of the vmps line as well. I have an older pair of Tower 2/R's and i am just completely amazed at how involving they are. I see more VMPS in my future. Sorry to drift from the topic at hand Nrchy. | |

| Looking for an amazing preamp under $700 used I have to 3rd the opinion of the Audible Illusions L-1. Excellent line stage preamp. Outstanding headphone amp. | |
| Great Rock & Roll speakers? As a former owner of paradigm studio 100v2's and a lover of hard rock and classic rock. VMPS took me to heights paradigm never dreamed of. | |
| Cal Audio Labs Icon MK I any ideas? | |
| Amp shopping - recommendations anyone? It sounds to me as if you are describing the exact sound characteristics of PSB Stratus Gold i's. Not saying they are inferior speakers by any stretch but that is just the way they sound. I would try and demo as many amps as possible with your spe... | |
