Raytheprinter, I thank you for pointing out that for some reason my opinion looks offensive, and thought that I would make a suggestion my friend just like any one else did before me on this thread,not sure what side of the bed you fell off onto your amp today but sorry it hurt so much! And yes I have owned very similar amps to the above mentioned and again gave a solid opinion and some resource's to check out which will in fact show hundreds of opinions on the amps and in fact show many that have owned these amps and their opinions vs. them, I never stated anything beyond take a look at the online resources for re-issurance, Thats it not sure why it offended you but sorry, we can argue Ferrari vs. Lamborgini all day but that was not my position or intention. And beyond that its very simple, Odyssey gives a 20 year warranty, can be purchased new for half what most can be bought Used for and bottom line open one up and be very suprised at the even higher quality parts and sound given vs. ARC, KRELL or any one else. I am like you I am sure, and like to research, Hear, and see quality, And I bet have considered, and seen considere and heard many amps just like you, and purchased several right off here on audiogon.com just the same as you to my friend. But thanks for the audio god appointment because I am sure somebody will see the light :) (jK)
help with s.s. amp upgrade
greetings. have been slowly upgrading my system over the last few months. just began doing a little homework here on audiogon. i am in the market for a good used 1-2k S.S. amp.
am considering a variety of options...
arragon 8008bb - krell ksa-150 - mccormick dna -125, 250 - classe 15 etc.
without having the opportunity to actually sit down and let my ear be my guide - i was hoping to borrow a bit from your listening expertice. what can you tell me about each?
out of all these listed {and any that i missed} which is going to express more of the artists truer intention though the music? i.e. read some great reviews on the mccormick not coloring the sound... blah blah blah.
current system:
power plant: PS Audio PS-600
pre-amp: Audio Research LS3
cd: Naim CD5i
amp: Rotel RB 981 {120 wpc}
speakers: Paradigm Studio 100's V3.
speaker cables: Transparent "The Wave"
interconnects: Interlink "The Link" 200
any of this i should consider revamping?
the listening room is 13 x 22 with vaulted ceilings.
i plan on upgrading my speaker cables/interconnects a.s.a.p. and playing around quite a bit with room accustics. hoping to rest and enjoy for a bit after upgrading this phase.
thanks in advance.
