Adcom Amp Owners Rejoice!
@panzrwagn Yes, I know all of the Adcom amps and the others designed by Nelson. The models you mentioned that are running your theater are not MOSFET. That was my point. I am most familiar with the VFETS in Sony designs. My best, MrD.  
Adcom Amp Owners Rejoice!
Although not in use, I own 3 535 series II, which I feel are the best of the Adcom amps, to my ears, in my system. It is a far superior performing/sounding amp than the original 535, eliminating the speaker switching and those silly speaker cable ... 
How competitive are you with your system?
Today, I listened to the "Best of Black Sabbath", in memory of OZZY. Yesterday, I listened to The Vaughan Brothers "Family Style". What musical greatness!   
Are you hearing  the instruments or the music?
I listen for "the playing" of the instruments/voices, and always, the musical composition.   
Ozzie Ozbourne is Dead
Yes, a great loss.   
Attention Horn Owners
The newest Khorn and Lascala are optionally available with a crossover for tri-amping......plus other changes/updates. I feel they should offer the newest of the two with the simple, single amp crossover. Simplify the connection for a single amp s... 
Adcom Amp Owners Rejoice!
I have always felt the Adcom amps to be quite rugged and reliable.  
McIntosh amp Power tube replacements needed
Isn’t the MC 901 a single channel power amplifier, meaning two are needed for stereo, 2 channel, L&R?  
Do you Think Altec model 19 is outdated speakers ?
I owned a pair and thought they were very enjoyable, but I always preferred my Lascalas, for my own reasons and tastes. I heavily damped the horns, woofer frames and upgraded crossover components which brought the 19s to another enjoyment level bu... 
Revelation Audio Labs (RAL) - Buyers Beware!
I purchased my umbilical from Brad and am extremely pleased. When inquiring and then determining my build, his correspondence from beginning to end was always fast and professional. I am sorry many folks had negative experiences. I would purchase ... 
Is it possible to really know what you're doing?
Musicianship....Composition......everything else (tone, imaging as examples) are icing on the cake. Determine what characteristics are important to you and strive for those. This can take some time for many.   
Is it possible to really know what you're doing?
I hope I do not get long winded, as I would like to keep this short, but of my experience. I just want to say, I am happy to be part of this community, because it allows us all, with the sharing of a common interest. Even with the back-and-forth d... 
Standmount speaker suggestion
@ullogu1 Did you / can you place the speakers along the long wall and create a near field listening situation (of course this depends on the room configuration). I have preference for this setup as side walls have always been terrible (given your ... 
Revelation Audio Labs Cryoed Silver Umbilical vs Audio alehcemy OEM
I had a great experience with Brad from RAL. From my initial contact with him to receiving his umbilical, it was a great transaction. Upon inserting the RAL cable, it was so apparent that the factory umbilical was a "bottleneck", to my entire syst... 
Upgrade from Joseph Audio Pearls?
I agree with "sheesh"......For what I look for in a loudspeaker, to reproduce the music I like, at the levels I like, I have easily kept my tweaked Lascalas as I have heard the Joseph Audio Pearls, and like many speakers I have heard, they were li...
