Review: Promitheus Reference C-Core Preamplifier
That is pretty unfortunate. Hopefully they have improved their customer service policy. I saw that they had a review in Stereophile a month or two back. At audiocircle.com they had requested their "circle" to be closed a couple of years back. But ... 
The right amplifier for Quad 12L Classic
Based on your listening preferences, the Exposure 2010 will work fine with the 12L. The more power you provide these speakers, the better they perform. 
Harbeth Compact 7s vs. Pioneer's $129 speakers
Agreed. The Pioneer speakers need space to sound their best. I cannot do that currently, but when I put them in my main listening room, I was pleasantly surprised by the music they made. When I opened the cloth grill to check the bass driver, my j... 
CODA CSIb vs. HEGEL H-300 INTEGRATED
I had searched these and asylum pages a couple of years ago about Coda. Looks like their products are literally bulletproof. But the rags in the US gave them a bad rap. Some reviewers did not let go off Coda amp that was sent for review and Coda d...

Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass?

Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass?
B_limo,You might want to check if you have enough gain in the system because of a passive volume control. The next speakers that you get should have a sensitivity rating of at least 90+db.I faced this issue when I introduced the Promitheus TVC in ...

Marantz SA-15S2b, thoughts & opinions
Nonoise,I am glad to hear that you love your new player. And than you for the un-audiophile review. Ultimately it is the musical satisfaction that matters than the price of the player. And that player is also a nice DAC. So you are covered on the ...
