Is Bi - amping worth the trouble?
Thanx for inputs guys,It seems the best to try all options, step by step... And I would do so, surely. My main concern was the UNSPECIFIED (in specifications) gain factor of both power amps. I am curious can I derive somehow the gain factor basing... 
Is Bi - amping worth the trouble?
I am also considering (passive) bi-amping B&W802Ds... Owning now two quite a big SS amps - Rotel RB-1090 and Parasound Halo A21, preamp Primare PRE30 (two pairs RCA output plus single pair XLR outputs), I wonder which configuration is appropri... 
pass labs x250.5 or plinius SA102 for summits
Veloceracing,Boring question - could you compare JC1s to Pass X-350.5, soundwise? Any palpable difference relating the power slam? Any interesting point? 
Preamp to match with Halo A21
Yes Warnerwh, PRE30 has been designed by Mike Bladelius, former Nelson Pass' fellow, ex-Treshold...True masterpiece of preamp for 1150Euro overall, brand new boxed, (special discount calculated, otherwise PRE30 costs 1400Euro).Darioax, try to find... 
Preamp to match with Halo A21
I mate the Halo A21 with Swedish pre Primare PRE30. Stunning results!!! Warnerwh right, Halo A21 isn't fully balanced, but PRE30 is! Highly recommended. 
B&W 805 models...
According the British HI FI Choice (May 2005 issue), the 805S significantly outperform the Sig 805, sonically speaking.Marketing or... - I don't know.BTW - many roumors about (possibly?) newcoming 805D - presumably improved 805S in several areas, ... 
Gryphon Callisto 2100
Avoid!!!!!!!!!Many pieces Callisto 2100 showed reliability problems - some poor cooling arrangements cause bad problems, damages etc. No personal experience - just heard from some audio forum buddies worldwide.If can afford, go to new Diablo integ... 
Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10
Thanx Downunder,Your judgement into such a strong competition have not been easy job obviously...One of major advantages of Halo JC1 should be very affordable price, recently raised, unfortunately (plus recovered USD vs Euro). Almost reaching terr... 
Warmest solid-state integrated for under $2k
I vote for German-Chinese coproduction Vincent. I guess Vincent should be available in States. There is a hybrid integrated model SV-236, 100Wpc, tubed preamp SS power section. Very nice, smooth passages, outstanding built - veights cca 20kg net -...

Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10
Downunder,What was the audition of Pass Labs X 350.5 like? Being underwhelmed of Halo JC1 performance after shorter break-in, you announced turning to Pass. I am deadly curious to know on first impressions!Can anyone compare JC1 vs new Pass X 350.... 
Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10
Lenght of breaking-in proccess should be not the crucial item. Why so much energy invested in week or two more or less waiting for optimisation? Final outcome is the issue, IMO. I love JC1 because of the final outcome performance (not owner yet, b... 
Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10
Hi DaltonI got opposite info from another forum. A dealer guarantee NOTHING has been changed with price. Tons of JC1s for 6000k pair... 
Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10
Another point,Is it truth that JC1's retail price goes up to 7000USD per pair? I saw something like that on htguide forum.If so - very dissapointing... 
Parasound JC1's vs. Sim Audio W10
I would reactualize Drhst20’s question to Mr Crump - is it OK to turn the JC1 on/off daily, depending on listen or not listen? Does such a way of using could be harmful in any way for JC1’s status (in terms of, say, durability or stability of cert...
