| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I know I'll regret stating this BUT...my newly purchased Pass Labs X150.5 tops my list of amplifiers - and it's a 30 year long list of Carver, Marantz, Conrad Johnson, McIntosh, Emotiva, Adcom, Rotel, Cayin...Audio Research. Unfair to claim that t... | |
| Is $3000 pushing the limits for a geat monitor?? I had a pair of the Confidence 160 a while back and my purchase was made after listening to a few other monitors in the store. I walked in leaning toward B&W, walked out with the Dynaudio. Sorry, but I don't remember the model of the B&W. ... | |
| Is high-end audio dying, if not dead already??? When I was growing up...There were far less formats to choose from for audio... We had Pioneer, Sansui, Marantz...to name a few. And them was good. In fact I still have fully functioning receivers from them good old days, a Pioneer SX950 and a Mar... | |
| This might just be the end of brick and mortar I'm fortunate enough to live in NY where there still exist a small number of "bricks and mortar " shops. The one that is most like the old days is Stereo Exchange in the city - walk right in, look around, listen, and they probably have it in stock... | |
| Want to buy Rogue Audio 66LSR Check out the listing for the 66 preamp (no remote) from Stereo Exchange. It was my unit, I traded in a bunch of equipment there last week to help fund my purchase of Totem Hawks. Unit is in excellent shape. | |
| Have thiel 3.6's. Will mcintosh ma6600 work? As I mentioned, I like these speakers enough to warrant the $600 investment in having them repaired. I paid $800 used, so a total of $1400 for the pair strikes me as a reasonably justifiable expenditure. (Reasonable - ha!) I have since seen them l... | |
| Have thiel 3.6's. Will mcintosh ma6600 work? Hey Thiel CS3.5 owners - Thiel WILL repair them for $300 apiece plus shipping, etc. I guess their move made them slow in replying. For me that's good news because I feel the speakers are worth the investment I've already made. | |
| Review: First Watt M2 So far about a week of living with the Pass X150.5 and I have to relate that this may very well be the last amp I will ever buy. It's certainly one that I'll never let go. I'm running with a Rogue 66 Pre which is tubed and I'm happier than hell. I... | |
| Have thiel 3.6's. Will mcintosh ma6600 work? Thank you for the tip! I'll be contacting him soon enough. I have seen a couple of possibilities on EBay but the sellers weren't, IMHO, too trustworthy. I sent one seller a photo of my Thiel midranges to confirm that his were in fact original and ... | |

| Tube preamp for Pass Labs x150.5 Amp I have a Rogue 66 pre that I'm using with my Pass and so far, so good. Currently I'm using rca cables, and I'm on the hunt for a good tube preamp with balanced connectors. The Pass is absolutely one of my favorite amps so far...this year. I just o... | |
| Have thiel 3.6's. Will mcintosh ma6600 work? Hello. A bit off of the subject here but I have CS3.5's which, almost typically, have midrange driver issues. I purchased a pair of suitable Scanspeaks but...they're not quite up to snuff. Thiel no longer rebuilds them and interweb searches have p... | |
| Review: First Watt M2 I liked the M2 so much I just traded it back to Reno HIFI for a refurbed Pass Labs X150.5 - who gave me a fine deal on the M2 towards the X150.5. By far and away the M2 was the best SS I've owned, but with the Thiels I realized I just need more po... | |
| Review: First Watt M2 I have been fortunate enough to purchase, in very good condition, a pair of Meadowlark E speakers. They have an efficiency of 92db which the M2 should work really well with. |
