audio research REF 150
I went to my local salon to hear two amp's I'm been fixating over when low and behold , there was the ARC Ref150 plunked between them in the sound room . I don't no how those three amps would sound at home or over longer periods , but that day wit...

Distance from the front not the rear wall?
The front wall is the wall thats in front of you when your in the sweet spot . I thought Stereophile put that matter to rest years ago .

Amp for Revel Ultima Studio 2s
It may still be a synergy thing with Levinson . I've owned half dozen Levinson components over the last ten years or so , still own two ( see system link ) , I have always felt there pre/power amp combo's were not a good match , a little dull or l...
