Looking for an amp that punches way about its weight and I can grow with
Back in day 1978 I own MAC gear C28 Preamp & the 2105 Power amp very dark & veil, not a happy camper. In fact the only MAC gear I like is the vintage tuners which I now own the MAC MR 73 I like a dark tuner. I sold the MAC gear for Dynaco ...

thoughts on the bose 501 speakers
I owned the Bose 901 series 2`s. back in 1974 sounds ok when pumping at outrageous volume and high on weed. the 501`s seriously suck.

My best retort to those that think we listen to our stereos more than the music
I guess Blueranger is trying to say we are so caught up in tech, cosmetics and specs. we miss the artistry of the music or as mastering92 puts it we tend to lose sight of the goal.  I apologize Blueranger for those in this discussion who feel that...

In my 20`s 1968 I would make sure I was very very high by the time I got to the concerts  and would get a seat very close to the speaker columns.  After the concerts my ears would be ringing for a week, in the car blasting music, at home getting v... 
Your advice needed, speakers to buy $8K to $13K
The LS27 or The Ref 5 or 5e will really rock a pair of Maggies 3.7i. I`ve own Maggies since 1978 I`m still holding on to my 3.6`s I`ve used the AR LS22 all Tube line stage Preamp also the ref.5 
Your advice needed, speakers to buy $8K to $13K
