Aloia 13.01i Amps Has anyone heard them?
Hi Calloway, My Wolcott Amps failed for the second time so I ordered the Aloia's for bi-amping along with the aloia pre-amp. I talked directly with Lars and he cant believe how good they compared to his 50,000 in Lamm equipment. I am using Dunlavy... 
Spectron power amps??
Dunlavy used these Amps as his reference at C.E.S. 
Biwire questions - Best cable for
Dunlavy Speakers which are all capable of bi-wire told me there makes no difference in bi-wiring and to save my money. He also told me that the amp does more work to run 2 cables than 1 and may degrade the signal. I guess he would know 
Biwire questions - Best cable for
On every speaker I have heard it made absolutely no diference with bi-wires. The idea of this is to separate the reactance coming off the woofer from getting to the tweeter. With bi-wire speaker cables the wires still come together at the speaker ... 
My transport doesn't like my DAC. Help!
I had a major problem with speaker damaging pops when I skipped songs with Muse dvd and Bel Canto.Bel Canto Acknowledged the problem and gave my money back. Very good sound nonetheless. Got the Muse 296 which is in another class.

Best amp for Dunlavy V
They're comparisons were that the aloia had a better soundstage,deeper and more precise.A more complete sound with great bass. With a 30 watt amp this is contradictory to most people's recommendations. 
Best amp for Dunlavy V
I talked with Dunlavy and they were auditioning the Aloia 13.01. They said it is one of the bests sounds with Dunlavy V's. What is amazing is the amps are rated at 30 watts. The amps use an inductive power supply which makes a huge difference. I h... 
Best Digital Front End Period!
I am currently happy with the muse dvd 8 muse 296 dac combo. I have tried the Bel Canto dac which sounds great but can't be used with the Muse dvd. The problem was loud damaging cracks when skipping songs. Both were so much better than Linn Karik ... 
Best amp for Dunlavy V
The wolcott's sound great with Jazz and small ensemble's but with orchestra it gets a little strained at high volumes. I thought this could be attributed to a lively room. Is it possible that these amps at 220 watts aren't powerful enough. Your th...

Best amp for Dunlavy V
Do you put your speakers on any type of points. I was afraid the weight of the V's could cause some damage.
