| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe Sstalwar, I've always used tubes with the Minis. Currently, I'm using a 25W/ch integrated. It actually sounds more dynamic and performs better at the frequency extremes than a 70w/ch amp that I was using. I guess it should since it's significantly... | |
| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe I own the Mini and would not suggest an OTL. The Mini's impedance gets pretty wild below 100 hz. | |
| Best Integrated Amp New Audio Frontiers 300b Special Edition: I wont call it the best in absolute terms, I wouldn't say that about anything. I will`say that it is worthy of consideration among the best, IMO. | |

| Tubes vs. solid state. Tvad, no need to "IMO" that post; it's pretty much unimpeachable. It seems to me that the "tube vs. SS" debate has been so pervasive on these threads throughout the years that it belongs in the same class as the "Ali vs. Tyson" debate. There's no ... | |

| Tubes vs. solid state. "One thing I noticed; my listening perception adapts to the sound present in the room." Nice point. It takes time to wrap our brains around something new. "I know that my tube equipment is not the same degree of excellence as my ss, but now ss sou... | |

| What amp $1000 for Rockport Tech Mira Mon? "If I spend more now, where will be the fun in the future of upgrading?"Sivert, I completely understand your position, but trust me on this one thing: No matter how much you spend on upgrades, as long as Audiogon lives, that fun will always be there. |
