| Another Analogluvr -- ASL Hurricanes?A quick look at pictures online, and all I saw was a sea of glass fire tubes.No thanks.Yes, perhaps I'd be missing something by not trying them... like a whole new sport of tube rolling; testers; expense; failure point... | |
| Another Wow, Guido... wanna be my mouthpiece? Great bit of writing, especially "Kryptobrand."I appreciate the ongoing conversation about this. Thanks to all.I agree that the room is one of the most critical components, and I have done as much as I can to ... | |
| Another Mr D,I did not mention the manufacturer because I did not want to disparage them. While they make a good product that many enjoy, I have not had the luck of the draw in terms of reliability.Nor have some others. I am curious about, and under infor... | |
| Another Does anyone know of someone who could provide a in-home demo of the Rowland Continuum S2? | |
| Another Ricred1 -- Congrats! I'm still waiting for the Merrill's to come in, hopefully soon. Your post suggests that I may also want to hear the Rowland, so I'm chasing that down.May I ask you, or anyone else, "What does switching sound like?" Perhaps if ... | |
| Another I'm now seriously looking at the Merrill VERITAS monoblocks; I have a demo pair coming in soon.The original post mentioned the ARC 150, which Stickman suggested would not get the job done. While I haven't yet heard the Brystons, they purportedly h... | |
| Another Folks, this really isn't as much about the sound as it is the reliability. I need to move on because of continuing reliability issues with several amps from the same manufacturer. | |
| Another Re: PM. I have a PM in my inbox from another Agon user, so I don't think that it's anything on my side. I could be wrong. | |
| Another @ Guido -- That's insightful.So, please recall that I'm using Vandersteen 2wq subwoofers. That should take a lot of the bass load off the amp, as these are powered subwoofers. Could that still be making the amp work too hard? I had always been und... | |
| Another Thanks for the recommendation for Reno. And Guido, your posts are most helpful.As for power (please help me understand), we don't play at very high volumes, and nothing to heavy, raucous, or driving. Well... Bonamassa might be an exception. Is tha... | |
| Another @Zd542 Great idea, but to be honest, I have zero experience with other amps, so I can't provide a linkage. I know of no other audiophiles nearby, and the closest dealer is a 5-hour r/t away. (Actually, I have briefly heard a Bryston behind Maggies... | |
| Another Why? See my response to Guido above dated 6/28. | |
| Another Thanks, Stickman. It's great to know what *won't* work, as well as to know what will. | |
| Another Guido --I quite wish I didn't feel compelled to move along, but, I do.I've been quoted between $9-13K for some solutions. That would hurt a bit, and probably represents my absolute upper range. | |
| Another @ Scott_w How kind of you to point out that it was a "sloppy mistake." Thanks. Actually, the title got butchered because it had quotes in it. Everything after the first quote got tossed.@ Guidocorona Good questions. As for my current amp, it has b... |
