Nelson Pass First Watt amp F1
Well I guess that answers my question, not the amp for me. I guess I'll just stick with tubes, its working for me, my mind just runs crazy from time to time. 
Nelson Pass First Watt amp F1
Interesting insight so far, not as promising as I had thought it might have been. I am thinking of using it in my current system(emm labs front end, vonschweikert db99's and jena labs cabling) any thoughts? I have contacted first watt(which is sep... 
Atma-sphere S-30, any users out there?
Nealhood- I do have the db99 speakers and really enjoy them, they sound good even with poor quality amplification. They sound great with good amplification, they can also be dialed into the room very easily with the bass booster dial. They seem to... 
Amp help for the Maggies?
I have had approx. 15 different amps on my old 3.6's in less then a two year time period. From that experience and all of the other's I have come to know in the maggie community over the past few years really seem to agree on one thing, the more p... 
Magnepan 3.6R vs. 2.7QR
I like Eldartford's last sentence, it should be the motto on the forums. With the popularity of the 3.6's you should be able to find a pair some what close to you and can listen to see what you think. From my experience I greatly prefer the ribbon... 
Amp help for the Maggies?
First try a search this has been covered in the past and you may find some valueable information. If you could stretch your budget just a bit it would open a lot of other options. For just a little bit more the Bryston 4b-st would work well and fo... 
Best Floorstander Under 10K?
Guys take this off the forums and onto a private discussion, you two should sort things out with out an audience. Or if you want an audience start a new thread- that's me policing the forums :o) 
Best Floorstander Under 10K?
I will second the db99 from Von Schweikert, I am enjoying them too much for a speaker in this price range! I was not at T.H.E. Show but from others I have talked to(and trust) who have heard the db99's in multiple locations, did not feel the perfo... 
Jena Labs Symphony vs. Valkyre IC's
Howie- My point was that I noticed a larger improvement in sound reproduction going from the symphonies to the pathfinders then I have going from a $600 power cord to a $2000 power cord. Someone who is looking at even the symphony line of cables I... 
Jena Labs Symphony vs. Valkyre IC's
I had a full set of valhalla's here for audition not long after I was using the symphony-valkyre interconnects and speaker cables. I preffered the symphony interconnects to the valhalla's so it only seems clear that the pathfinders would best the ... 
Has anybody heard the Von Schweikert VR-7SE's
If your interested I have a picture with VR7's near a pair of VR9's with a pair of VR11's in the background. The VR7's are not finished, but you'll get an idea of the actual difference. 
Jena Labs Symphony vs. Valkyre IC's
I've compared and listened to the trio plus, fugue, symphony, valkyre and pathfinder in a few different systems over the last few years. I previously thought the symphonies offered the greatest "value" in there line up- maybe they do- but not long... 
Atma-sphere S-30, any users out there?
Thanks for the feedback everyone, I am indeed intrigued with these amplifiers, however even at 30watts I think its too much power(my new speakers are 99db efficient) so I don't think I would be interested in the M60's- even with resale kept in min... 
New Von Schweikert Models
Mark- you should be honored they named a speaker after you :o)
