Integrated amp to drive ProAc 1sc
feigore,Have you heard the soro se with the 1sc? My understanding is that it is a great amp for the midrange, but not very satisfying at the frequency extremes. Is this your experience or? I have not had the oppertunity to listen to the soro mysel... 
CJ Premier 14 vs. 16LS..etc.
I have no experience with the ART or 16ls. I have had my freinds 17ls in my system and it was in my opinion not as good as my 14 with nos mullards, hence I did not purchase it considering it would have cost more, for close to, but not as good. Tha... 
Good "Link" between SP9 Mk III and ProAc 1SC
I loved the sound of my 1sc's with my conrad-johnson premier 11A. However I am downszing my system. I am now running my 11A into ProAc 2.5s, and am selling all my gear and have just purchase another pair of 1sc's and am looking at integrated amps ... 
Ported, Sealed or Transmission Line
The Question that every audiophile probably has an opinion about. My feeling is that a well designed speaker is just that. Most designs these days tend to be tuned ports, for what reason I'm not sure, but any sealed speakers I have owned have need... 
what is the best se tube amp
Thank you for all the responces. I do find it informative to hear what fellow audiophiles think/feel is the best out there.I realize, Marco, that there is no such thing as the best. We all are looking for the same thing, the best sound, unfortunat... 
Tube Amplifier Rec. for Proac 1.5 or D 15?
I have had great success with my Conrad Johnson Premier 11A driving my 2.5s. Just about any amp will drive any ProAc Response speaker at least up as far as the 3.8. Even tiny S.E.T.s will drive them well. I would think if you are fond of EL34s the... 
Proac Original Response 2 VS Response 3
A little off topic, but I upgraded from ProAc 1SC's to 2.5's. I lost a lot of what I loved in the 1SC's, imaging was a big one, so if you love the way the 2's image I don't think you will get that from one of the bigger ProAc Speakers, althogh goo... 
Linn Ikemi vs Accuphase DP55V
Thanks Ben I have an Ikemi and I agree. Any Suggestions? 
What to upgrade next?
Oh yes, Speakers, I have been considering upgrading to 3.8s or 3.5s. I have seen where some people prefer the 3.5s to the 3.8s. Any info here would also help. Thanks, Mike 
What to upgrade next?
Thanks for all the feedback. It looks as though some room treatment is the first thing to address. Is there any good looking treatments out there as I do have a wife and my system is in HER livingroom. 
Conrad Johnson PV10AL Tube & Polarity Questions?
I did look in my pv10al box and low and behold there was the polarity warning, and shersta you are right it is red! 
Proac D15 versus....
I own a pair of proac 1sc's. The reason I bought them was because of the reviews I read, because I run a cj premier 11a and 1sc's love tubes, but the kicker was auditioning them. The amp was a Cary inigrated.... the sound blew me away and the bass... 
Cd players with variable output?
I would only run a cd player direct until you can aford a preamp or passive attenuator. The preamps (variable outputs) in any cd player I have heard are pure junk and take a lot away from even a great cd player. You dont need to spend a lot of mon...

Conrad Johnson PV10AL Tube & Polarity Questions?
Hi Fishwater,I have a pv10al that I bought new I do not recall seeing in the manual that it inverts polarity. I also own a premier 11a and it had a seperate paper the size of the manual warning of polarity inversion as well as a note in the manual...
