Yet another contender for my Klyne 6PE: ARC PH5
"I bumped in a preowned ARC PH5."It kind of sounds like you bumped one into your system. I don't know you meant something else. Your Delos is 6mv. That's a low output cart. The PH5 isn't made for such a low output cart. You should use a HOMC or a ... 
Bryston BP26 with Pass Labs
"02-16-15: Bob_reynoldsFWIW, I used a BP26 and Pass X1 with a Pass X150. I didn't notice a difference with either preamp. I kept the BP26 due to its simpler UI. I later went with Bryston 7B SST monoblocks."Did you actually listen to them? 
how does it all work ?
"02-16-15: StringreenIf the end result is the goal, and you know what that goal is, then the components used is different for different goals. If you want theater shaking lows because of a bomblast on the screen, you don't pick an otherwise excell...

"So till this day speakers sit there wrapped up and unconnected as it has taken me this long to decide and bring myself to sell my unused new in box MA6500 Integrated Amp to buy the other amp required for biAmping.I never even knew what BiAmping m... 
Bryston BP26 with Pass Labs
Its a very odd combination. Both brands have a completely different view as to how a piece of audio gear should sound. Usually, if you ask someone that likes Pass, what they think of Bryston, they would most likely say they don't. Same thing for B... 
Best speaker for songs like Heart - Alone
No one can really answer that question in any meaningful way. We all like different things. Why are you only considering the amp and speakers? Your preamp and source is just as important. If they're not to your liking and/or well matched to your o... 
Yet another contender for my Klyne 6PE: ARC PH5
"still interested in a new phonostage, I bumped in a preowned ARC PH5.would it better my Klyne 6PE ? if so, under which respects ?"I'd like to know myself. Since you have both preamps to compare, maybe you could listen to them and post some commen... 
Which Mc better Mid/High performance in BiAmp set up?
If you cant try everything first, I wouldn't even consider doing it. Biamping like that, using different amps never sounds right. Every once in a while you may get lucky, but that's not the norm. If you're trying to deal with the tweeters on your ... 
Price look up "Original retail price" not correct.
McIntosh keeps their gear current for long production runs. When companies do that, they sometimes have to raise the price to keep up with current expenses. 
wadia 170 i transport- need help
"02-15-15: Fanofdq10sThe Wadia does not have a DAC built in."It has both analog and digital outputs. Do the analog outputs serve a different purpose? 
Help with Preamp selection
"02-16-15: BigkidzBuy an old Counterpoint SA-2000 and send it to me. I will change the preamp so it is better than what you are considering."How? 
Importance of Amplifier versus Preamp?
Swampwalker,I've been wrong before, and I may be wrong now, but I still think I called it right. This is how he starts off."New in the field. I am wondering what is most important: a great amplifier with a good preamplifier, or a good amp, with a ... 
how does it all work ?
If someone were to do this, would you still recommend using the Bose speakers like IMAX does? For me, that would be a deal breaker. I can't listen to those things. 
how does it all work ?
IMAX uses Bose speakers. 
Traveling never going to happen??? need advice
Well if you're the seller, then just ship them and collect the insurance. If you're the buyer, and you really want the speakers and can't locate another pair, make 2 trips, one for each speaker, if you have to.
