Thanks for the advice on chairs. I'm glad you live within driving distance. I live about and hour out of Nashville, and their are a couple of audio showrooms I've never been to there. My fault. The reasoning is Nashville is so large, the traffic i... 
CODA 8 V1
@sls883   I have always read  GREAT things about Von Schweikert speakers, Regardless of models. I'll bet you have a winning combination there, bet it sounds fabulous.   
CODA 8 V1
Very impressive. I had almost gone the S5.5 route, so close. The dealer suggested because of my loud Rock and Roll and CURRENT hungry speakers, the 8 V1   I'm lucky, Even at 90 db, I'm still in class A  Enjoy! I will always wonder what the 5.5 wou...

@vthokie83   Thanks for responding. I am going to look at both chairs suggested. I was so VERY close to getting the S5.5, so close. But, Mike at Audio Archon, suggested the 8 V1 because, He stated, that my Tekton Encores are very CURRENT hungry fo...

@decooney  thanks for all your help. All others also. I've depended and relied on Audiogon forum members a lot. It has paid dividends. This is not an easy hobby (expensive too) to learn about. With all your help I have brought together a lot of eq... 
CODA 8 V1
To everyone that has posted: I'll try to describe my reasoning for moving the CODA 8 V1 to my main system containing speakers Tekton Encores (upgraded special models) in the much larger area of my 2 listening rooms. This would mean the PASS X250.8... 
CODA 8 V1
Thanks all for the posts.  I spoke with the the salesman about it this AM. He explained about the scale not being what I thought it was. Have a much better understanding now. Will most likely use  the buttons that change to green, that represent t...

I may be thick this AM, not woken yet. I don't understand.  I am running Tekton (upgraded) Encores , quite efficient, 93 to 95, Listened for first time yesterday. I listen to Rock only, and seem to listen at about 90db.The meters are showing, if I...

Hello all: The other day after moving the Pass back and forth, the wife is feeling her back. I went out on a limb when she laid down and changed listening chairs in my shop, where the Pass resides, and my larger system is. I changed out an old Laz...

To all, everyone! Made a decision yesterday, and bought a used CODA 8 V1 with blue meters. Got what I think is a good deal. looking forward to adding it my system. Now, based upon its specs, I'll have to decide which system it seems to relate the ...

@soix   I have it narrowed down to the MAC 312 and the CODA 8 V1 with meters, used, in great shape. Good price too!  Wish someone called me and stated, one was sold already. First choice is the Coda, with some class A, and meters. The MAC is so cl...

Hey thanks for the  info!  Hegel 390, TOP SHELF, Not familiar with the Gato Audio Amp 150 AE, will have to look it up later. Thank you

@decooney  Looking for advice. May be subjective though.  Narrowed it down to  the Coda 8  V1 model  used or a used Macintosh MC-312 Mint, both are mint for that matter, The coda also comes with blue meters. Mac doesn't have a warranty, but MINT. ...
