| McIntosh 2100 Buy it. You will love it, and you will never regret it. It will drive the Vandersteens with plenty of power to spare. | |
| How much room is needed for Snell AIII ? Thanks to all, especially you Verneal, for your very specific and helpful recommendations. From what I had read in the past, I didn't think that they needed a very large room, and you all seem to confirm that. | |

| Your favorites amplifiers for their visual look ? Duh! Mac of course. Just kidding, but they do look nice. FM Acoustics in a nice simple way, and Accuphase. | |
| Don't you love it when this happens? Years ago when Trio Jeepy was new, I was at Savant Audio near Princeton New Jersey for a audition of the ProAc Response 2. He played the CD on a Mod Squad CD player and an Eagle amp. That was the very first, and one of the only times I really hear... | |
| Pass Labs X350 vs Mac 402 Vs Theta Enterprise vs., Well, I'm being funny, but I am serious about the Mac. You said that you were looking for more slam and tube like sound, and that describes Mac. | |
| Pass Labs X350 vs Mac 402 Vs Theta Enterprise vs., Oh please! Mac 402 of course. Period! | |
