| What amp to match with Conrad Johnson Premier 16/2 Yes you are correct, it is a two chassis unit with a switch mode power supply. I stack the units on top of each other as the stock connecting cord is only about 6 inches long. The amplifier is rated at 150 watts per channel and for the most part r... | |
| What amp to match with Conrad Johnson Premier 16/2 I also have the CJ 16/2 and like the combo of a tube preamp and a ss amp. You really can get the best of both worlds. I don't know if Jeff Rowland is in your price range but I use my 16 with the Model 10 and it is an excellent match. It seems to b... | |

| Best Stand For AR Amp and PS Audio P600 I purchased a two shelve Billy Baggs stand to fit my P600 and large tube amp on top. It is in your price range and has exceptional built quality. | |

| SET Speaker Compatability ? As a previous owner of 805B and a small room I can give you my experience. My speakers are Vandersteen Model Fives which are also 87dB but have a 400 watt amplifier built in each speaker for the subwoofer. As expected the bass was excellent and th... | |
