| Can the Manley Neoclassic 300B handle a 2 ohm load muralman,While I share your enthusiasm for the H20 amp, It would not be my recommendation it for some one with 96db speakers looking for a SET 300B based amp.250wpc would be a bit much here. | |
| Ultimate challenge biggest bang speaker TWL,Excellent post!My next system will be SET based and single driver if possible. If not, then Audio Note speakers look intriguing.I know exactly what you mean by speakers sounding choked off and congested. For more bucks, electrostats and other ... | |
| Anyone heard of DK design group? The amp may be legit (a lot of people seem to like it).BlueDiamondAudio may not be.Do some checking into the dealer you are looking at buying it from.Caveat Emptor. | |
| Review: H2o Audio Signature Monoblocks You need to be careful with some of the IcePower modules because short circuiting the speaker terminals will bake the module. See the sixmoons.com review of the Acoustic Reality ICE amp.Otherwise, you should be fine as the amps run cool.H20Audio i... | |
| Review: H2o Audio Signature Monoblocks Good Review!I also found Henry's amps quite musical - almost "analog" like. Very effortless. They do need decent partners though.The speaker has to match. The preamp is also key, as the input impedence on the H20 amps is on the lower end of the sc... | |

| Parasound - Pass Labs - VTL - Krell Amp Selection Muralman,While I can not deny that I like the H20 amps, I think we need to be careful to say that they will "work their magic on ANY speaker load at any volume level"I have heard situations where the H20 did not synergize with the rest of the syst... | |

| Vecteur I-6.2 Integrated ? Playhard,Thnaks very much for the informative post. Yes, Vecteur amps are really something special.The Vecteur I-4 we recently had in our systems bested the following list of well reviewed gear:BelCanto Evo2i GenIIDK Designs VS-1 Reference MKIIPS ... | |
| How good is the midrange in the DK Design VS-1Mk2? There's no doubt in my mind that the Audiomat Arpege was the far better amplifier in the system that we heard both amps in. We even rolled some NOS Seimens and Amperex in the VS1. They were a vast improvement over the stock Chinese tubes, which sh... | |
| Threshold S/5000e new amp too good to be true??? *bump*Someone must have heard thsi amp by now. No? | |

| Anyone hear the McIntosh MC275 mkIV Thanks for the responses!Rgurney,what replacement tubes do you recommend to get rid of the upper mid emphasis? | |
| How good is the midrange in the DK Design VS-1Mk2? I had an oppotunity to hear the Hybrid VS-1mk11 and the all-tube Audiomat Arpege Reference in the same system over the past couple weekends.The Arpege was both much cleaner sounding and much more musical. The transparency was downright shocking. W... | |
