| Surround Sound Processor Suggestions I have been using a Theta Dreadnaught with Meridian 568.2 processor. I have had the Meridian since 2001 and never had a problem with it. I think the Meridian products are exceptionally stable. | |
| Cary SLI-80 integrated or AES Sixpacs? You might try talking to Kevin Hayes @ VAC for his recommendation, although most of his newer products do not have a triode mode. I talked with Kevin several times before I purchased the used VAC PA90's to get his recommendations. To get 100 watts... | |
| Cary SLI-80 integrated or AES Sixpacs? How much power you need is also a function of how lively the room is and how loud you listen to music. I am not familiar with your speakers or amps you suggest but do use Thiel CS1.5 speakers in combo with VAC PA90 amps that are 55 watts in Triode... | |
| Is unity gain a real HT bypass? Hi Dave,I agree with Theo that they are all similar. The tube preamp is setting the volume at the point where no gain should be added to the signal. The only way you would have a true bypass is if the Preamp would not need to be turned on and the ... | |

| Pairing surround processor with tube power amp I have tried what you are talking about with a Meridian 568 connect to a Vac PA 90 without using a two channel preamp. I my case I liked the preamp (Calypso) inserted into the chain. Each has his own preferences. | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? Vac has several amps that would easily drive the SF speakers. I have Thiel CS1.5 speakers that are 87db sensitivity and operate between 4 and 3 ohms. The amplifier I use is the VAC PA90.Good hunting! | |

| Will these HT amp/pre/pro's give me 2 chnl bliss? Jeff,I am using a Theta Dreadnaught combined with a Meridian 568.2. The combination sounds very good together. I have since added a Aesthetix Calypso preamp which makes the 2 channel music that much better. The point is you can start out with a de... | |
| Meridian as a Preamp Question I have a Meridian 568.2 used as for surround sound and as a dac for a Calypso Preamp (used for 2 channel). A Theta Carmen II (transport) provides the digital source to the Meridan. I run balanced cables. There is no loss in detail going thru the C... | |
| Meridian 568 v ARC Tube preamp for digital scource My setup is a Meridian 568.2, Aesthetix Calypso, Theta Dreadnaught 1, Thiel cs1.5. You will find that a tube pre will improve the depth and width of the soundstage. It will also improve sound of strings and voices. Good Luck. | |
| Tube integrated amps Do you have a dealer or freind in your area that would allow you to bring you speakers over the try out. Get a feel for how much power you want or need. I have a fisher 400 that is used with rogers ls3/5A's that sound quite nice. The fisher 400 is... | |
