| Amp for Wilson Watt Puppy 7 I heard them on CES two years ago with VTL MB450. Triode and Tetrode switching were demoed as well. Higher power was more beneficial probably due to the huge room size where they were demoed.I'd go for minimum 100W per side to play these speakers. | |

Try to hunt this unit for $300...400 that literally kills the newer and more expencive TLC.McCormack amps are sencitive and need low-gain preamps or passive ones. LS-7 is a high gain preamp that ... | |
| Anyone heard the Mantra speakers? nope, only heard the real mantra:-) | |

| Vocabulary question the rise time to a certain power is fast. | |
| Ever popped a circuit breaker with audio gear? Yeah, when the washer was on and I was trying to over scream that in the same circuit line:-) | |
