Distortion with ARC Ref 150 and Maggie 3.7 It may have been covered earlier but was the rating and description of the amp on agon when you bought it consistent with your findings since? If not, it would seem to memaybe you have a case with the seller to either return or seek financial comp... | |

New Vandersteen oil cooled hybrid amplifiers AM I the only one not enthralled with the idea of oil in my amps?More efficient designs like Class D that produce less heat per watt consumed seems like the happier path. | |
