| How important is HDMI? with my Oppo and plasma I notice hdmi had a noticeably better picture than component video cabling | |
| SRA Silent Running Audio vs Critical Mass System Wellfed is a renowned and esteemed poster here and I suspect his "recommendation" was tongue in cheek given the well known name of the company offering the amp spring stand.Larry | |

| I want an inexpensive chinese tube power or integr aren't those speakers 4 ohm and 82 db efficient? that's a tough one for a tubed amp to handle....agree with glenhifi, call stephen monte and quest for sound and see if he has anything that will drive those panels...he has gear at all price levels ... | |

| Speaker Choice for Almarro 318B I've owned a 318B since August 07....look for a speaker match that's 8 ohm nominal and 92db or better and you'll have plenty of power to play loud...this amp does high frequencies like none I've ever heard and the overall tonal purity is very good... | |
| ML Aerius or SL3's? I owned SL3's for nine years....tube amplification won't cut it...you need a ss high current amp with at least 200 watts at four ohms and 400 at 2 ohms...these are power hungry designs.Larry |
