| OTL amps with Wilson Watt/Puppy 6s Hi RyanI haven't heard a pair of mono T-8's in my system so I can't compare directly. What the Berning does do over the Transcendent is probably a result of the extra power but a direct comparison would have to be done to be sure. On large orchest... | |
| OTL amps with Wilson Watt/Puppy 6s Through the generosity of Chris, I received a Berning ZH270 to audition in my system. I must say that my first impression was, "Damn it's small". Don't let the "small" matter fool you. I read the manual and it is evident that the engineering of th... | |
| Modified equipment... Jctubes I couldn't agree more with your post. The point is regardless of performance improvements most folks DON'T want a modified component performed by anyone other than the manufacturer. I have a pair of MC-60's that have been extensively modif... | |
| what is the best super speaker and why? Ligi It is a scary thought to me to drop 30K+ on a pair of loudspeakers with the knowledge that eventually I'd become bored with them no matter how good they are. How do you deal with this? | |
| High End Components - How long do they last? Hi KoenI'm the third owner of this pair. The original owner purchase one I believe in 1956 and had it in a mono set-up. He sent it back to McIntosh in the late 50's to match it for a stereo pair. I purchased them from the 2nd (less than 1 year) ow... | |
| Modified equipment... I think it really depends on the gear. A mod on an inexpensive digital piece is different than a mod on a piece of classic gear say an amplifier or pre-amp. For classic gear, folks are looking for stock, unmodified unless performed by the manufact... | |
| High End Components - How long do they last? I still have McIntosh MC-60 mono amps from the 1950's. Is this considered hi-end? They still sound wonderful btw and I can't part myself from them. | |
| Audiophiles - Your Favorite Food?? Seafood. Our company does quite a bit of work downrange, Ascension Island. When the guys come back they aren't allowed off the plane unless they have their quota of fresh fish :). Fresh wahoo (the best), grouper, tuna, swordfish and of course lobs... | |
| OTL amps with Wilson Watt/Puppy 6s Chris I certainly look forward to your impressions. The Transcendent OTL amp has been a revelation in my system. It outperforms, by a significant margin, every tube and solid state amp I've listened to of late including the Rogue m-120's and Pass ... | |
| Anyone heard Montana speakers? I've heard several of the Montanas including the KAS. They have confusing model numbers so I can't tell you which ones I've heard. My current dealer likes them (KAS) better than his Soundlabs but I don't agree although dynamically there is no argu... | |
| OTL amps with Wilson Watt/Puppy 6s Hi ChrisYou have touted the Berning in many threads. Certainly one would be curious about its performance relative to other OTL designs with all the other pluses it offers, low heat and an ability to drive speakers with low impedance dips. It real... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Detlof Yes indeed and happy I am but I want to be happier :). The problem is the compulsive search for the best which is fortunately/unfortunately, depending on the view, the course I'm on. I have designs on one of those ultraexpensive products wh... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Well Detlof, my experience is the opposite of yours, gone from music lover to audiophile, that is as of late. I'm spending too damn much money and time on this gear business but then again I am rediscovering the music I already have and am very ha... | |
| Happy New Year You too Charlie. Maybe we get together this year Heh? Will | |
