Any opinions on old SAE stuff?
Frank, i would not doubt your results with the 2150. I think that we are both thinking along the same lines, especially given the common agreement about the differences between the 1150 & 2150. If i didn't already have more amps than i know wh... 
Suspicous Speaker Auction ?
Forward the pertinent information to Audiogon. They can track the IP addresses as to who placed the bids, etc... Believe it or not, Arnie and the others are trying to do their best to make this site as enjoyable and reliable as possible. In order ... 
What's the difference between
Bob, i think you know where i'm coming from but others might not. As such, others should keep in mind that i own a couple of each of these amps mentioned, so it is not like i'm biased towards one more than the other.The big Perreaux's will stand t... 
Sunfire Cinema Grand or Earthquake Cinenova?
Hey Greg, we'll have to get together and compare notes. My Dad is running the CG with Legacy 1's (earlier versions of the Classic ) and Legacy Studio's for center and surrounds. After several different amps, this is the one that he likes best. I'm... 
Any opinions on old SAE stuff?
Frank, the 2150 was always reverred as a great bass amp in its' day and said to be able to drive anything. I knew guys that were running these amps bridged into Acoustats. As you know, bridged amps typically don't like low impedances. As you also ...

FM Tuners

What's Wrong With the Krell Kav 300 Cd Player??
Never owned one but know a few people that did. They all made similar statements to what Abstract said about them: they sounded like the earliest cd players that suffered from WAY too much brightness, glare and digital grain. One guy went to MIT c... 
Sunfire Cinema Grand or Earthquake Cinenova?
The Sunfire Cinema's are slightly more forward sounding than their counterpart 2 channel amps. Having said that, they retain most of the same characteristics as the 2 channel's with different power levels, more channels, etc... They also offer the... 
Any opinions on old SAE stuff?
They used some funky "OEM" ( original equipment manufacturer ) parts in some of their amps that are no longer available. The designer, James Bongiorno, was also responsible for Great American Sound ( GAS ) products and a few other products. As far... 
Heath AA-2500 Amp - Heard of it?
Brian, it was a good sized amp and was actually built quite well for its' day. If i remember correctly, it actually "doubled down" according to spec. It would make an excellent platform to build upon, modify, upgrade, etc... I've seen these "gener... 
PayPal not as safe as everyone thinks?
Angela, you have a BIG advantage in one specific area over most of us. You have WOMENS intuition whereas the rest of us are "thick headed" males ..... : ) Sean> 
Here's How I Make My Equipment Racks
Ken, Thanks for getting back to *ALL* of us : ) I'll take a look at the website that you provided. If their prices are good, i'll be upset that i didn't find them PREVIOUS to buying all of those other racks that i thought were a "rare commodity" :... 
Do speakers wear out?
You guys might be missing the point that i'm trying to make. While "old" speakers may function completely fine, subtle degradation over the years may be tough to notice. The only way to really notice this would be to play a "fresh" set of identica... 
What's the difference between
HA HA HA.... Not to laugh at your situation, but while i was reading your post, i was thinking that the Sunfire would do the job for you. You then wrote exactly what i was thinking.The model that you are thinking of is simply called the "Sunfire" ...
