| Best amp for Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario? I also recommend BAT tube mono blocks. | |
| Wilson Sasha, SF Amati Anniversario, Thiel CS3.7 Wilson speakers do a great job of revealing your electornics and cables. IMO they sound very Hi-Fi-ish and unpleasant with solid state. I heard the Sasha's on tubes and they were very good, I later heard them with solid state and didnt like them.Y... | |
| Wilson Sasha versus Watt Puppy 8 IMO what you were hearing is the difference in amplification (Boulder Solid State -vs- BAT Tubes). Wilson speakers do a great job in revealing the components connected to them. BAT Tubes would sound more musical and laid back compared to Solid Sta... | |

| Using aerial cc3 centers for rears ? What about using the Aerial LR3? I'm not sure how well it would work to have the CC3 placed vertically (if that is your intention) due to the tweeter orientation. Or you could use the model 6 for the rears. | |

| ARC LS-5MKIII or ARC LS-25MKII John - I own the LS5 MKII, how would you describe the difference between the MKII and MKIII versions?Thanks, Ken | |
| Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century? Tweekerman - do you see anything wrong with this statement? "Sure Albert the Sound lab's ULTIMATE A-1's are in my opinion possibly the best OVERALL speaker on the market. There are no cone speaker in the world going to produce mids/highs sound sta... | |
| Best Used tube Preamp 1700-- 2500: advice needed I would look for a used ARC LS5 MKII. I own this one and have done in home comparisons to the REF 1, the newest BAT and found it to be the most resolving and musical - even better than the new ARC pre-amps. I would start by replacing the tubes if ... |
