Question on Gallo Reference 3.5
You have more than enough power now, more is not going to help. I suspect that what you are beng limited by is the Bryston. Those are phenomenally well made amplifiers, and with an amazing warranty, but they are a bit sterile, in my experience. Li... 
Review of Tekton Pendragon-Se Loudspeaker
How much power do the Pendragon SE's really need to perform optimally? At, from what I understand, is a very accurate 95db sensitivity rating, people still seem to be using a lot more wattage than I would have expected was necessary. Even a medium... 
Review of Tekton Pendragon-Se Loudspeaker
I've heard so many positives about the Pendragons and was eagerly awaiting the smaller Pendragon SE's, which I now understand are the previously announced "Seas Pendragons".They are one of the finalists I am considering for my situation. My room i...

Found Perfect Amp For My Needs, But Is It Too Old?
JmcGrogan,Thanks very much for the link to the mis-listed pair of Model 6's. I've been checking at least 4-5 times a week here for the past nine monmths or so, but obviously, my seaches never caught this listing due to the mispelling. Unfortunatel... 
Found Perfect Amp For My Needs, But Is It Too Old?
Thanks for your thought Jmgrogan2. I've read your previous posts on these amplifiers, and we are in complete agreement about the Model 6's. My concern is whether I will find anyone offering them for sale within the next six, nine, or more months. ... 
Found Perfect Amp For My Needs, But Is It Too Old?
Thanks to all for your responses. I am afraid that I may indeed be in the same place that Elizabeth is, in terms of" Yeah we have stuff we wish for and want.. but sometimes reality intervenes" but I somehow hope there might still be a chance for m...

My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy?
I'm definitely not intending to go backwards, in terms of sound quality, from my present Atma-Sphere with this purchase. I certainly would be happy spending much less than my $4k limit, but it would have to be for an amplifier that did not represe... 
My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy?
Charlie, thanks for your thoughts. I did communicate, via e-mail, with Alan previously, and his advice was that he voices the Silverlines with Pass amplification. As I noted earlier, I am a big fan of Nelson, and would be happy to go in that direc... 
My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy?
"Hello Nightfall, I don't think I recommended a particular speaker, but if I did I would expect that Audiokinesis would have been on the short list. Duke is an outstanding designer and also easy to deal with."Ralph, I've had dealing with Duke prev...
