As he mentioned, be sure to pay close attention to the Wilson audio setup procedure to get the best to offer from these speakers.Best ... | |
| Any info on the new Audio Research VS115 tube amp? Basile, my experience is similar to yours. I have not had time to listen much due to family and work responsibilities. However, when the system is turned on, magic appears and everyone stops to listen. In my mind, when busy people stop what they a... | |

| Audio Research SP16 annoying volume control An ARC amp will not likely resolve this problem, as others have told you. I had the same problem with an ARC LS25MKII preamp with two different ARC solid state power amps (150.2 & 300.2). It was resolved when I purchased the newer ARC LS26 pre... | |

| A Big Thank you, to Albert Porter...from My Mother Albert -- thank you for your kind comments. I do not remember John Kreis but a picture might juggle the memory.

| Audio Research Ref210 vs Ref300 vs VTM200 I am a relative new owner of the Audio Research VS115 power amp. Very young out of the box, it is an amazing amp. More to come as it breaks in...Thanks to Audio Concepts in Dallas (Gary Smith) and Dave Mitchell for their input as I evaluated this ... |
