| Audio Research VT80SE amp vs Prima Luna EVO 400 or 300 To quote: "Lastly, seeing the note about biasing, it’s easy on the 75SE. Child’s play.

| Audio Research VT80SE amp vs Prima Luna EVO 400 or 300 @BIF,Thanks, and yes, I have learned that the latest Prima Lunas I’m looking into can use KT-150’s.

| Audio Research VT80SE amp vs Prima Luna EVO 400 or 300 Thanks to all for your helpful posts. @rushfan, both my golden-eared wife and I are partial to "warm."

| Audio Research VT80SE amp vs Prima Luna EVO 400 or 300 Great responses folks- please keep 'em coming. And thanks! | |
| Audio Research VT80SE amp vs Prima Luna EVO 400 or 300 @jjss49 Thanks so much for your very helpful response. I greatly appreciate it. The more research I do, I find my head saying ARC, while my heart is whispering Prima Luna. I just learned that I probably will be able to audition the Audio Research... | |

| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles?
