Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps
Ref 5 SE? 
Best amp for Dynaudio C4
I listened to the C2's at RMAF with the T + A electronics. The sound was very nice. Mike 
Class D amps
I have the ARC DS450 D class amp. It is mated with ARC's LS27 - tube line stage. This combo works beautifully. Mike 
Any other Sony SS-AR1 owners out there?
Congratulations Dserota17. I heard them at RMAF earlier this year. Sony did a very nice job with these speakers. They are terrific.Enjoy!Mike 
Revel Salon2 owner: What amps are you using?
Easterize,I have Salon 2s and have been considering getting the 28 SST2s. I'm currently using ARCs LS27 and DS450. Like this combination a lot; however, sometimes it feels like that Salon's would like to have a bit more power that the DS450 offers... 
ARC LS-27 or ARC ref-3
I have not compared the Ref 3 with the LS27. I do own an LS27 and I'm super happy with it. Mike

Bryston BDP-1 Own one? What DAC are you using?
Nice purchase! I'm considering buying a BDP 1. Would use ARC's DAC 8.I did hear the BDP 1st RMAF 2011 last month in at least 4 rooms - just about all used Bryston's own DAC. BTW, sounded terrific.Mike 
REL G1 vs JL Fathom F113 subwoofer

REL G1 vs JL Fathom F113 subwoofer
Interestingly, the Velodyne DD, JL Audio and REL are all outstanding sub brands. Can't go wrong with any of these. Just make sure to schedule a home audition.Mike

Magico Room at RAMF How good did it sound
As stated above, Magico only demoed their Q1s. On Friday they sounded overly bright but with quite a soundstage for their size. On Sunday, they sounded much better with good dynamics, not as bright - but still not my cup of tea. There are many spe... 
Power cable for Audio Research DSi200
Rtaylor,Shunyata PCs work extremely well with ARC. May want to give them a try.I'm using their Black Mamba CX line with my ARC gear. Mike 
Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps
Shunyata and ARC play well together. That's what I have in my system. Very happy with results.Thanks,Mike 
Vandersteen Treo at RMAF
They sounded pretty well. Not sure how they would compare with the 3s. If I recall, they were demoed with ARC electronics and a Bryston front end.Mike
