Amplifier Question

Snofun3 is correct about matching speakers and amplification. Power requirement and impedance load MUST be considered for optimum performance. A very expensive pair of speakers mismatched with a very expensive amplifier can be disastrous. Check with the manufacturer and/or dealer before investing in either.

I said with all due respect I felt it was a foolish statement, not once did I say you were a fool, I also never said you were a know it all, I was speaking in general. Life is too short to get mad at opinions.

Thanks everyone. My Classe should arrive this week. I am planning on getting the Linbrook Signature System very soon to get better bass. Although, I have not experienced what my Linbrook monitors can do yet as I'm still using an ancient tube amp. I will definately post a follow-up to let people know my experience. BTW, I spend more time each day fantasizing about equipment than I actually have time at home to listen. That's when you know you have a problem!

I am driving my Tyler Sig Monitors with a Classe CA-200/ CP 50 combo and it is outstanding. Once in a while I'll toss in queens of the stone age, nine inch nails, audioslave and try to loosen up the paint on my walls and never is there any sign of fatigue or loss of detail. I am also contemplating either the bass modules or trading up. I have heard comment that the full range Linbrook system loses some detail, imaging and has a bit thinner midrange, I would be interested to hear your comparison once you've burned your new Linbrooks in bit. Good Luck

Pipeguy...my Classe arrives tomorrow. I've decided that I won't be upgrading to the Linbrook Reference System right away and will stick with the Linbrook Monitors for a few months. I will definately share how the set-up sounds. I'm jealous of your pre-amp...I'm sure that makes a huge difference. I'm still using a Parasound pre and a Cambridge Audio CD player. I would like to uprgade to a Classe pre-amp...a nice one used can be had for less than $1,000 used as you know. Then, I want to get either a Classe CD player or a Wadia CD player. I read some great reviews on the Wadia models, and they are very cool looking. However, they don't come cheap used, so it may be a little while before I get one. Unfortunately, I have another $750 to pay on an engagement ring and a $17,000 wedding reception coming up that I will have to partly fund, so the dream system might be put on hold for a little longer. I wish that I had more audio friends. I live in Chicago, but I don't know any other people with systems to audition.
