| Sad to say I need a new amp… The Mesa is a cool amp, see about a repair. | |
| Is it me? Will I ever be satisfied? I’m going to be brutal here. I would never mix B&Ws with Mac gear. The thing you are missing is musicality. You need some gear that mates well with the B&Ws. A sweet sounding amp will do the trick. I’d look at a Parasound A21+. amp to get ... | |
