Watt/Puppy 6.0 vs Amati Homage vs Andra
adsal and wslam, i have only heard goldman once, for a short time. it was a couple of years ago and i don't remember which amps were used. in my local area there is no goldman dealer at this time. can you recommend any reviews of the amps you are ... 
Watt/Puppy 6.0 vs Amati Homage vs Andra

i have owned one for 3 months. i have broken in 4 sets of valhalla interconnects, one quattro fil phono cable and the transparent opus mm speaker cable. i haven't used the MOBIE so i have no comparitive info but this thing really works. when i fir... 
Watt/Puppy 6.0 vs Amati Homage vs Andra
wslam, i have a friend that is planning on bringing the halcros over for a comparison in my room as my 33s are a little too big to bring anywhere. if it happens i will let you know how the amps compare. 
Watt/Puppy 6.0 vs Amati Homage vs Andra
adsal,i see in 2 different threads that the #33/#33h are not your favorite amplifiers:^) also, that since reviewers (or expierienced audiophiles?) don't have them (except john atkinson) they must be substandard. i respect that that is your opinion... 
Watt/Puppy 6.0 vs Amati Homage vs Andra
adsal, respectfully disagree about wilsons. to get all the performance they are capable of you need high current and speed. when i went from levinson #33h to #33 there was a dramatic improvement in all areas. problems i had previously assigned to ...

hi jerry,i brought that disc, "a window in time" on telarc, rachmaninoff playing rachmaninoff, recorded on piano rolls from 1919 to 1928. the track we were playing was recorded in 1919. 
Valhalla
i have gone to valhalla from xlo limited, quattro fil, and transpatent ref.xl. i compared the valhalla to all these interconnects in my system and the valhalla was clearly better to my ears. in specific areas the other cables were similar but the ... 
Best Sax Jazz
anything by ben webster; especially "at the renessance" and "coleman hawkins encounters ben webster". ben's tone is one of the most wonderful and emotive sounds in music, and is totally unique to him. he does with a sax what miles does at his peak... 
How much does your system retail for?
$196,850.00 for 2-channel; $43,300 for h/t, now i see what my wife is complaining about. who knows how much more for the software. this sure as hell better be fun! 
Compar Wilson Watt P 6.1 or Revel Salon
i agree with jtinn above. having auditioned both and having lived with the watt/puppy 6s for the last year and 1/2 the 6s are the more refined speaker. some other benefits of the 6s are the adjustability of the top "watt" modules for sitting heigh... 
WATT PUPPY 3/2 WHAT AMPLIFIER?TWEETER
i have owned 3/2s, 5.1s, and now 6s. 2 things i have learned about watt/puppy bass. first, get all the power you can; i now have levinson #33 monoblocks and the additional control transformed the 6s. second, the woofers on the puppy's are greatly ...

fellow members; i just stumbled on this site. does anyone know the topic of the next meeting? 
Absolute Best power amp, tube ss
i vote for my levinson #33 monoblocks. unsurpassed power and authority but grain-free, natural and delicate. at 360 pounds each they are theft-proof too. and.....you won't need to heat your room. problems i had previously assigned to my speakers, ...
