| McIntosh purchased by Bose...NOT an April Fool's joke. McIntosh was spun off twice already by Private Equity. It wasn’t sustainable for Mac to continue to be bought and owned by Private Equity. A PE firm buys companies as investments, they know many won’t survive and only a percentage will hit, allo... | |
| Bose buys McIntosh As others have mentioned, the last 2 owners have been private equity. From a business standpoint, Bose is likely a far better option from an ownership standpoint than a PE firm. PE firms often destroy culture, branding, quality and along the way... | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp @signaforce the recommendation to look at an integrated amp of space is a constrain is a good one. I’ve had the PrimaLuna Evo400, Krell 300i (latest XD version) and Coda CSiB. The Coda and Krell were fantastic and can drive any speakers. As not... | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp @signaforce I misread the nomenclature and thought you were looking at the Pre and didn’t realize the ABH2 was their amp. They would likely be a nice combo, the BHK would bring a little something extra to the party. Thanks, | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp @signaforce keep us posted, if you get the BHK, does it deliver the differences you are hoping for? It’s a great Pre, very different than the AHB2 which is known for being very transparent and neutral. Good Luck. | |
| Favorite mid-tier streamer You’ve got a ton of options. Aurender, Auralic, Bluesound, Cambridge, Eversolo, HiFiRose, Innuos, Niam, Lumin, WiiM. I’ve had Bluesound, Auralic and Lumin Streamers in my system. Several things to consider, don’t want to use or do you u... | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp I’m a BHK Pre owner as well. I also have a Coda 07x Pre. As others have suggested, use the generous return policy to see how the BHK sounds in your system. If you have tubes to roll, BHK is a great Pre for that. Upgrading your Amp is also a gr... | |
| Hegel H120 or H190 The advice on figuring out your potential speaker upgrade, what your preferences are and picking a new amp based on how it meets the potential new speakers needs along with synergy is key. How an amp sounds paired with speakers is heavily impacte... | |
| Retirement System Finally Completed: Impression of the Mola Mola Tambaqui Great to hear stories about great finds on Bourbon, found in the wild at prices ate at or close to the regular MSRP. $ 65 a bottle is crazy, congratulations on being able to enjoy such a great bottle or bottles while listening to your system. | |
| The Great DAC Mystery Interesting, way beyond my comprehension except for the understanding DAC’s aren’t able to convert, output signals that measure perfectly. I’ve had traditional DAC’s, R2R, FPAG, DAC’s with a Tube stage. Currently have a PS Audio that is a ... | |
| No bass on B&W 800D2 @seb_audio anyway you can borrow or trial an amp known to handle hard to drive loads? Watts are only part of the equation. Highly likely your speakers need an amp more capable of driving them. Amps that have a large power reserve, that are stab... | |
| Integrated amp for 2500-3000 If your speakers need some grunt delivered by the amp Coda, Hegel, Krell, Music Fidelity, Parasound all should provide that extra heft / control. An all tube Integrated could do the trick but a unit that can might be out of your budget. Hybrid o... | |
| Pass labs krell parasound amps @jl35 I haven’t had the opportunity of trying out Pass amps in my set up. Their reputation though is stellar. Nelson is a legendary designer that uses high quality parts with top notch engineering. If you like their sound signature, hard to go ... | |
| Separates vs Integrated @yyzsantabarbara thaka for the info, reply, the Holo Serene is interesting. I agree on the Krell Amp, I’ve been lucky enough to be able to try various amps and it’s been my favorite. Noise and synergy are what have me asking the question. I hav... | |
| Bridged NADs vs. Rotel Ra - 1062 @mistermonitors if you can get the NAD in the 100-150 range, no brainer. You won’t find anything remotely close to the performance at anywhere near the price. Assuming the unit is in good working order. Bridging to Mono is different than having... |
