Wyetech Opal preamp
Hi - I have an Opal.  Haven't felt the need to change it since I purchased it a few years ago, it's very good.  Can't comment on the Lamm.    
Powering Infinity Prelude MTS
Winslowst, I've just logged on to AG after a very long time, but FWIW I have never found the Preludes to be bright in any way - they work very well with my tube amps, neutral but not at the expense of musicality. The problems I've had are a buzzin...

I don't believe so, but I've never tried.

Hi Joysjane, my understanding is also the same as Jburidan's... feeding the signal from the amp does not cause the sub-woofer amps to be over-ridden by the external amp, the subs are always self powered. I'm guessing what you may be hearing is the...

Those Tannoys are studio monitors, correct? They look huge. I also own a pair of studio monitors, the PMC MB2s, and no home speaker I've owned matches their lack of compression and clarity. Unfortunately they require a good few hundred watts of cl...

Thanks, I will check the bases and see if I can source the screw on spikes. Speaking of SET amp friendly speakers, have you compared these by any chance to Avantgarde or similar horn speakers? Any thoughts?

Hi Jburidan, I didn't know that, thanks for the heads up. Will try positioning them as advised. No, I'm not the first owner, I bought these last year (or was it the year before?) for a second set up used but in good condition. I was looking for a ...

I have done very little experimentation thus far with these speakers as I haven't had the chance to use them much. I originally set them up almost face forward and about three feet from the back wall. I later tried toeing them in significantly and...

Hi Joysjane, thanks for the heads up re the woofer and tweeter. I don't think it's an amplification issue as I can hear a slight scraping sound when I push the particular mid-range and woofer manually with my thumb(with no music playing) to simula...

I connect the entire system direct to the amplifiers (Wyetech Labs Topaz SET mono-blocks or Bryston 14B-SST2 s/s amp). Nice speakers, but one of the mid-range drivers and a tower woofer has started buzzing with certain types of music... hope I'll ... 
has anyone else heard the wyetech ruby mono block
Pavpet,Which speakers did you hear the Rubies with? 
Bryston 28B SST
I have a 14B-SST2 (latest transformer and all 'trickle down' improvements of the 28) and a 14B-ST (which is the first of the SST design amps). The 14B-SST2 has a clear, neutral character with noticeably tauter/extended top end and a more organised... 
pass labs 350.5 vs bryston 7 bsst to drive b&w 802
Bd223, you're right, the 7B-SST's run cooler than the 14B-SST.... I think Mordante is confusing the previous 14B-*ST* as being better than the previous 7B-*ST* monos... the 14B-ST was the first of the amps that used the technology used in the curr... 
Need feedback from Bryston amp owners
I own a 4B ST; great value for money product. Great low end, good dynamics,neutral without being cold, built to last a life time, and a perfect match for my PMC speakers. However you need careful pre-amp pairing to smoothen out the upper mids/ low...
