Oyaide, Hubble, FIM etc, any consensus on flavors?
well after some experimenting it seems the amp direct to the r-1 is the ticket. for what ever reason, the cord and conditioner do not work well with it and amazing that the outlet alone seems more natural. i am also getting almost inaudible hiss f... 
Oyaide, Hubble, FIM etc, any consensus on flavors?
more about the r-1...the issues i described (overpowering bass, muddiness) are occurring at higher volumes...up in the 85-95db range (yes i know thats really loud). at low levels it is really very pleasant and the depth and clarity are real pluses...

Amplification for Wilson Watt Puppy 7s or 8s
i have used a krell fpb 600c with my watt puppy 7's for 6 years or so. it sounds pretty damn good. i have heard many suggest that this is not a great match but there is much to like about them to my ears. my next amp will be spectral and find them...
