Audiotroy, a dealer disclaimer/reference to any speaker brands you do sell is appropriate when discounting another brand. 
Sistrum SP101 Platforms - under floor standers
Agear, thanks re: the Symphonic Line compliments. All the glass in the room presents certain challenges, and the match of the SL amplification with the Salon 2s is impeccable: fast, dynamic, tonally pure and detailed without drilling holes in my e...

Sistrum SP101 Platforms - under floor standers
To the extent that one of the common minor gripes about the Avalon sound is that it is a bit thin, I would think they would benefit plenty from the SP 101 platforms, in the form of a more dense, meaty presentation. A more solid foundation, if you ... 
Sistrum SP101 Platforms - under floor standers
Now returning to the original question (with apologies for continuing the derailment...), I have a question of my own: with which speakers are you thinking of using the Sistrum Apprentice platforms?

Sistrum SP101 Platforms - under floor standers
I wouldn't know about any historic Star Sound products or internal disputes, so have no basis of comparison between the products of yore and the ones available today.But I can comment on both the use of Audio Points and now the new Sistrum Apprent...

Why don't you message him? Much better chance of receiving a response that way. 
Wilson speakers/to people who own them etc
This reminds me, I need to come up with a term for threads that take a fat runny dump all over themselves before they even get out of the gate. Because for something this magnificent, "threadcrapping" just isn't good enough! 
s-s integrateds just on the warm side of neutral

what the best amps run revel salon2 stronger bass
I've never heard of anyone using Accustic Arts amps with Salon 2s. Your post suggests you find the McCormack amps too polite so far. I found the same thing when I heard the Salon 2s with Mark Levinson amps. If you are looking for punchy, dynamic s... 
what the best amps run revel salon2 stronger bass
With most music I've been very happy with the bass output from both amps I've used with my Salon 2s (first a Plinius SB-301 stereo amp and now Symphonic Line Kraft 250 monos). On those occasions I crave more bass - maybe 5% of the time - I think a...
