| Help Needed Designing an "Amphitheater-Like" House Confusing response, and not sure why I came back; but trust that this will be my last post on Audiogon Forums forever. I stopped using Forums on other sites because the nastiness factor really comes out in people when they are separated by long wi... | |
| Help Needed Designing an "Amphitheater-Like" House Oh, hang on! In my counter-slight list of music I suggested 6550c listens to, I mentioned "Dark Side". This could create a situation where someone could deconstruct my irony and point out that Floyd could be considered arena rock. So I will restat... | |

Philbrady and others: thanks, The Dali's and the Acoustic Zen's both look worth looking into...However, they both seem to require a 50 watt minimum input, while the stingray is rated at 40watts (I'm not sure if impedence difference, or if the tube... | |
| Can Manley's Stingray power VonSchweikert vr4 jrs? Revised question: what would be a good speaker match for the stingray be, in the 4,000 dollar (new or used) | |
| Are monoblocks better than stereo, with tube amps? thanks for the responses, which have led me to more questions. Czbbcl, atmasphere, unsound; what do you mean by 'modulation of power supplies', 'proximity', most importantly, what factor involving amplification's sound is more important then the m... |
