Innersound Kilowatt Monoblock, how good is it?
Thank you all for the kind answers.I have used the innersound ESL amp with 300wpc at 8 ohm in vertical biamp configuration(each channel driving half of one speaker) and like the result. Since I have only one amp I can listen to only one side of th... 
Tube amp for Genesis 500
I used 2 pairs(4 units) of BATs VK 60s with the GEN II with great results. For Gen V/500, one pair will do fine.One pair of VK60s can be bought used within your budget.Suchart 
dcs ELGAR versus DELIUS
In my system, the Elgar has much better dynamic range than the Delius. If you already have a good pre, maybe the gap is closer. Driving directly, the Elgar will be essential.Suchart 
Good amp for Genesis II System
Hi, Arjen. I just found your post and recalled that you e-mailed me for this question. I answered you but missed the point about the suitable amps for the GenII. I totally agree with the above opinion that Genesis speakers need tube amps and will ... 
AR Ref 600s Best for Genesis2?
May be I jumped to the conclusion too soon about the Ref 600s. But I must defend that the Bats are very suitable for the Genesis as well. In terms of sound quality, I regard the Bat as detailed, fast, and musical. With four monoblocks they can con... 
Wadia with or without a preamp ?
I was using Wadia 27 and found them running directly to power amps sounding too direct. The sound was upfront and very clear but lacked musicality. Especially when the dynamic gets really loud, the direct drive will always sound harsher and less c... 
AR Ref 600s Best for Genesis2?
Jonathan, thanks for your very informative post. Otherwise, I may get the bad idea of owning the REF 600. I understand you have the BAT VK 150SE. How do they compare to other tube amps at or around the same price bracket?Suchart 
AR Ref 600s Best for Genesis2?
Jim, thanks for your opinion but I think you don't have to offend Jonathan just because he doesn't like the Ref 600s,do you? From my own experience, I'm also not quite convinced by the AR, having auditioned them several times at the dealer's showr... 
AR Ref 600s Best for Genesis2?
Thanks Jtinn, for your advice. About a year ago, I had an opportunity to acquire a mint pair of VTL Wotan but I wasn't ready to, just acquiring the BATs. I understand the drawbacks of Ref60os but how about the sound? How do they compare to VTL or ... 
Talon Khorus question
It would be my real pleasure to welcome you, Don. I can imagine we would have a lot of a good and long conversation together. And many thanks for your kind offer too.Suchart 
Talon Khorus question
Gentlemen, many thanks for all the illuminating comments. I didn't expect such an overwhelming responses from my question. There is a strong possibility that I will take the plunge on the Talon soon. Right now in our country we have outstanding sp... 
Talon Khorus question
Wow, Don your long essay really touched me. I mean it. First of all, let me clarify myself. I was asking the question out of my curiosity. I am from Bangkok, Thailand, the land of SMILES. The first time I learned of the Talon was from STEREO TIMES...
