| Upgrade my Sonic Frontiers Line-2, or buy a used solid state Pre? Well, I've had my rig put together for 5 days. The amount of detail is exceptional. I think at this point, my room is the weak link, so I begin the process of trying to treat our main living room while maintaining the WAF.There is some fine grain,... | |
| Upgrade my Sonic Frontiers Line-2, or buy a used solid state Pre? I don't think I explained myself very well. Previously, I had 508.24->SF Line2->Meridian M20 mkii active speakers (all RCA interconnects). A speaker died, and I decided that I got my money out of them after 24 years of use. I bought the M106... | |
| Upgrade my Sonic Frontiers Line-2, or buy a used solid state Pre? I will be running balanced from my Meridian 508.24 all the way through to the amp. I'm happy to hear that you think the line-2 is still a good preamp. When I bought the preamp, I was using Meridian M20 mkii active speakers (ancient), which is RCA ... | |

| Amps for Egglestonworks Andra II or Sophia 2 Exactly how many people end up testing everything they are interested in buying as a complete system in THEIR room anyway? I'm sure dealers are happy to just roll 250 pound speakers around town every day so people can listen to them. Yes, I'm sure... | |
| Amps for Egglestonworks Andra II or Sophia 2 The only complaints I've heard about the Andra speakers regarding system matching is that they don't sing without powerful amplification, but everyone says the high end of them is sweet. Maybe it's a better gamble than the Wilson?I know this may s... | |
| Amps for Egglestonworks Andra II or Sophia 2 I wouldn't be able to listen to either of these unfortunately. With the Andra II, I could afford a bigger amp, but I assume they'd probably need it.I do think I want solid state amps. I know some people get excited about trying new tubes, but the ... |
