| DK Design MK II as a preamp with Druid speakers? what is wrong with the DK? it is a nice integrated amp. if you don't like it, replace the whole thing. have you compared the dk to the amps you listed? you need to audition the amps in your home with your existing equipment to see if it truly is a... | |
| Add a subwoofer to Von Schweikert 4Srs? it could be your room or speaker location. check out the speaker location calculations from cardas and others. i have used rel subwoofers with very good results with totem speakers. | |

| Mcintosh or Classe musicnoise, you are not comparing apples to apples. classe's omicron and its $25k amps are much better than the ca-200 also. the mac 402 has twice the power so it should sound better. take the classe's ca-300 or ca-400 and you will get a better co... | |
| Mcintosh or Classe pops, i would agree with you that it is probably the power difference that you are hearing. i preferred the ca-200 over the mc 252 mcintosh amp but i also preferred the mc1000 over the 501's or the 602 with my totem mani's. the ma1000 sounded fant... | |
| Aragon to Classe..... in mono mode, you would use only 1 input, and for the classe it is the left input on each amp. | |
