| ear 534 Unless you buy a used EAR that was purchased at a much lower price than current pricing and the seller does artifically inflate the "original" price based on today's pricing - an approach that I think is close to fraudalent, though it is perfectly... | |
| audio research sells out good or bad ? "Expected returns that are unattainable is where desperation and brand killing begins". So true. | |
| audio research sells out good or bad ? In this case corporate Italy. The Quadrivio SGR, the investment group appears to understand hi-end companies, so maybe it will work out fine. | |
| Sleeper preamp suggestions Wright WLA12A, less than $1000 new. Audible Illusions 3A used. | |
| Herron VTSP 2 or First Sound PreAmps Joule LA150 MKII - Flav 2. Will flesh out the tonality of an SS amp; which sound like what you are looking for. Also love the Lamm LL2, but did not like dual pots and no remote. | |
| audio research sells out good or bad ? For me at least, the high end is about passion and vision by a designer with a mission, or a small committed group (cottage industry? even the "big" ones are pretty small). No matter what they say, I doubt ARC will ever be the same again (for good... | |

| Thiel 3.6, what will drive them best? How much lower than $1000 is your budget? $500? | |
| Music Reference RM9 - user comments please Troyca, what other amp are you comparing it to that you feel it is better than? NAD 3020, or CAT JL2 - know what I mean? What is you comparative context? | |
| Merlin Upgrade Experience Goatwuss, what is you pre and amp? | |
| Classical speakers that do violins well?? Duke, do you think the 1.6s sans subwoofer would cover the bass well enough for orchestral? I would imagine they would sound very nice on strings. | |
| Classical speakers that do violins well?? Vandersteens and Harbeth perform well with SS, might even be prefarable. The Harbeth HL5 might sell in that range used. The VS 3ASig would also be in that range and be truly "full range" (within reason:)). Don't know the Aragons, but 100 Watt SS a... |
