Synthesis Amplifiers: One of High End's Best Kept Secrets?
I’ve had my A100T for about 6 months and love it. Powering Audio Note AN/E Lexus HE Signature speakers which I bought at the same place brings exception listening experience. My favorite part is actually the no sound, the air between a singers’ br... 
A tubed integrated amp for Joseph Audio Pulsars?
I have the Pulsar 2 speakers with the Ayre VX-5 Twenty.  A great match but wanted a warmer, more open sound.  After listening to a couple of tube amps, I decided on the Syntheis A100T. Just wow.  Holy wow.   Exactly what I was looking for.

Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT
Thanks gdnrbob. I’ve seen John’s name a lot on this thread and will reach out. These speakers are too nice to not try to get it right!! 
Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT
Greetings.  I’m new to this forum and just found this thread. I have owned my Treo CT’s for about a year now and love the sound but I only have a little knowledge about placement, which now sounds like a most, if not the most critical process.  I’...
