Bryston 28B SST
Hi Shannere and DevAgree with you that specs don't tell the whole story.Specs mean squat, for me it's how I get engaged or drawn into the music. How could a 18 watt Wyetech be preferred to the 1K Brystons. I dunno, but I know what we heard and pre...

Dev"but when I read such a statement sounds like they were being choked and there was most definitely something else going on and not the fault of the amps."Interesting as the dealer said the same thing after returning them. He was going to check ... 
AV Receiver good enough for high end audio?
ArtmaltmanMy Theta Casablanca III was the best that I could find when I got into HT.As good as it is, it's not even close to my 2 channel set up.So my answer to you is no.Take care,

SET the best?
Having used Wilson Audio speakers for a very long time I was always told you need big SS to drive them.Used ML 33h, 33, then the ASR Emitter II.Having been intrigued by all of the SET discussion here on Agon decided to get a Wyetech Topaz which is... 
Correcting drifting with Sutherland Timeline
