| Is there any truth to this question? For your situation, listening nearfield and not at high volume, amp power is not likely the key to good sound. If you take Minor1's advice and audition different amps to see what sounds best in your rig, don't count out some of the better Class D ... | |

| mbl - is there a problem? omni sound in general and mbl specifically done well is radically different. IT can take some time to get it. But I I believe once you do many will never look back at anything else. It's almost like throwing a switch in teh way you are trained to ... | |

| "Kisses on the Bottom" by Paul McCartney "Neil Young does not belong in the same conversation as McCartney and Dylan."Maybe on the grand scale of things, but certainly an interesting topic for debate. | |
| Preamp Noob has a question I'd do the pre-amp upgrade and see what that does. That also sets you up down the road for using a dedicated amp rather than integrated amp section, which might also have something to offer. Decent integrateds with pre-amp out and amp in connectio... | |
| Preamp Noob has a question "I'm looking for that ever elusive extra transparency and detail. Can I get it with a preamp? "No doubt pre-amp can be a factor for this. You'd have to give something a try, but I suspect for under $1000 you can make a difference, with a SS or eve... |
