| An Amplifier Change for my Wilson Sophia 2's? I was looking at the 7bst and 7bsst. Only trouble is that the 7bst will only give 23db of gain in a balanced output, and the newer 7bsst model is out of budget.. For those reasons i am thinking that the 4bsst is the right way to go. | |
| An Amplifier Change for my Wilson Sophia 2's? So clearly there are a lot of viewpoints on this subject! That is to be expected as I am learning that speaker - amplifier matching seems to be one of the black arts. Thank you all for your posts.To sum up, some say speakers need loads of wattag... | |
| An Amplifier Change for my Wilson Sophia 2's? Czarivey,what at do you think about bryston 4bst or a pair of 7bst monos? They are in the same price category of my vt100. | |
| An Amplifier Change for my Wilson Sophia 2's? Czarivey, wow, I guess you are saying My Sophia's are underpowered! Obviously there are loads of opinions on this, but I am gravitating towards this opinion as well. I called Wilson yesterday and spoke to one of the tech guys there. He told me ... | |

| An Amplifier Change for my Wilson Sophia 2's? My Whest is set to 60db (or 55, I'll have to double check).The Bryston 7B-ST mono blocks provide 800 watts into 4 ohms - so that would be a 9db increase. That seems very significant. would that kind of power add more control and authority over t... | |

| Tube advice How does one check the bias on a vt100 mk II? Is it also necessary to check bias on the LS-25? | |
| Tube advice adg101 - intersting, so it is possible for my ARC installed tubes in my vt100 mk II to fall out of proper bias over time? | |
| Tube advice Do you use them simultaneously in different systems? It may be a worthwhile experiment to have ARC retube one amp, and retube the other with tube depot.I have a VT100 mk II. When I bought it, the tubes were going bad. I tried to retube part of th... | |
| Amp or speaker first, upgrade Absolutely speakers. I have owned Def Tech speakers, and when I upgraded them to a far more sophisticated speaker (Rockport Mira Monitors) I was extremely pleased. Overall I was not particularly happy with my def tech speakers (I had the Mythos ... | |
| Tidal music to analog preamp All good suggestions. Check out a used Bluesound Node as an alternative to Sonos. |
