| $510.00 for an Aluminum cover for the ARC Ref. 10? My Ref5 SE is only a week old. I'm pretty sure I am not paying for a new lid! Squeaky wheel gets the grease, you remain passive and a Sheep, and they will run over you along with everyone else trying to make a dollar.This is for Cleeds, you work f... | |
| ARC Reference 10 melting polycarbonate cover LeoG, Thank you for the information. Just curious if that is retail or dealer cost? Who pays msrp anymore? | |
| ARC Reference 10 melting polycarbonate cover I have a Ref5 SE that has the same polycarbonate cover. It is sitting on top of my rack with the ultimate ventilation. The cover is STILL WARPED! It has nothing to do with adequate ventilation. Lostbears nailed it, it's the 6550 power tube. Flippe... | |

| Theta Prometheus Monoblock vs Bryston 7BSST2 I didn't consider the D" Agostino amps "veiled" at all. The actually "bloom" in the midrange, giving it a somewhat "tube like" sound in the mids and highs. Plenty of power and low end to spare. They just cost way too much for an application as mine. | |

| Theta Prometheus Monoblock vs Bryston 7BSST2 I have a dealer who loaned me these amps for a week to use in my own system. It was rather cool to read the Stereophile review after already having listened to these amps. They replaced a Mark Levinson 335. By coincidence the reviewer's amp is the... | |

| Customer Service I have had great support from Classe, and Wilson Audio. Same type of situation when needing a particular question answered when I have called in the past. Most of the "well established high end companies" that care about their products do the same. | |
