Speaker upgrade
Don't know about a Kharma dealer in Colorado. But you should check out the Merlin VSM-MM/MX. I have them in a 22 1/2'x 19 1/2' room with 10 1/2' cathedral ceiling. They can energize and fill the room completely. To me they do all kinds of music be...

Opinions on deHavilland Mercury 2
Slingshot. I have the UltraVerve and it is great with my Carissa. Keep us posted on the Mercury and the PX-25.Cheers 
deHavilland "Mercury 2" Preamp - anyone?
If it's better than the UltraVerve, (and why would they make it if it wasn't), you are in for a treat. I've got the UV and couldn't be happier. I'm bettin' the Mercury ain't goin' back.Cheers 
Dehavilland Ultra Verve Opinions ??
I believe this pre is wonderful. See my review.I look forward to comparing it to other pres, especially octal based, like the Cary SLP98 and the Supratek Syrah. I have an audio friend near by who has the Syrah and I hope to do a head to head compa... 
Joule vzn 80 or 100 for merlins?
Just a note regarding power for the VSM. I'm going to be running my VSM-MMs (wich should arrive in the next couple of weeks) with 16 SET watts. After speaking with knowledgeable individuals with experience running the VSM with lower watts, I'm con... 
Tally up best preamplifier ever
deHavilland UltraVerve 
Give me your best amp pair up with VSA DB99's
I'll second the deHavillands. Also, the Ios from deHavilland should work very well. Good Luck.Cheershttp://www.dehavillandhifi.com/Products%20Page.htm 
Thoughts on the Supratek Chardonnay
Good luck on your pre search. Another pre you should consider is the deHavilland UltraVerve. I'm thrilled with mine. For details on what it did for my system, check my review in the amp/pre review section on Agon.Cheershttp://www.dehavillandhifi.c... 
Please recommend a good Tube preamp.
deHavilland UltraVerve. Great sound. Great build quality. Great customer service and support. Except for the 6SN7 tube, which can get a bit expensive for NOS, the tubes are cheap to replace.Cheers 
Personal speaker evolution
Pioneer- stock pair that came with full system- 1985Klipsch Forte'- 1987- still have, still great.Merlin VSM-MM- 2005- I hope to hold onto these as long as the Klipsch. If I do I guess I'll be set until at least 2023.:-) 
Art Audio Carissa vs deHavilland 845 tube amps
I can't compare the Carissa and the Ios. But I have th deHavilland UltraVerve and the Art Audio Carissa.I just wanted to say that the music this combo makes is amazing. Dynamic, smooth with unbelievable resolution. The soundstage is top notch. If ... 
Good 845 integrated
deHavilland, the Ios. But it does not come with remote.Cheershttp://www.dehavillandhifi.com/IOS_STEREO_845.htm 
Room size for Kharma 1.0s, need to downsize...
Merlin VSM-MM or MX. The VSM and the 3.2 always seem to be going head to head in threads. If you get to hear both let's us know what you think.Cheers 
Why not more on 845 SETs?
I listened to many amps, ss and tube when looking for my new amp. I then tried an 845 SET and that was that. I love my 845. It's everything Trelja said. The resolution and dynamics are great. Wonderful 3D full bodied sound. Is it the best? Who kno...
