If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it?
Bi-amping with tone controls using vintage amps, that is where it is at. For around 800USD one can have two Ymaha Class A amps or Luxman Class A running their system. You can adjust treble, mids and bass to get the best out of recording. My speake... 
If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it?
Another bit of a news from bi-amping experiments. Have you ever tried to run tweeter only and listen to the quality of your treble/tweeter alone? Holly cats, I tried that on a several recordings considered to be really well mastered and I came to ... 
If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it?
Level matching amps from the same manufacturer.... No that is completely contrary to what I am trying to achieve. I want to have control of the treble and bass separate from each other. I don’t always agree with mastering engineer decisions on how... 
Integrated Amplifier with the Good Bass and Extended Highs
Used Ayre for highs and Krell KAV 400 class A for bass. Or two Marantz 300DC through 3650 pre-amp bi-wired. Two Luxman class A or just one. There are so many options. 
If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it?
I had my first bi-amping epiphany today. I never believed it is useful to do with just two dumb power amps. I was bored today and connected two integrated amps with tone controls to my speakers. I let Ayre run my treble and then vintage Marantz to...

phono pre amp giant killer?
Sorry to resurrect this , but I believe this is very important topic and thread should survive as more sleepers are being discovered by vintage audio adventurers.Here is a list of worthy vintage phono preamps:Hitachi IA1000 Sansui AUG90X Sansui 30... 
Help me decide – Revel or Focal
Since you are in NE you should try Triangle (also French design),there is a dealer in Boston for them. If you venture out to Manhattan you should listen to Devore Fidelity-clean ,natural sounding , perfect for acoustic music of all sorts.I don't r... 
Looking for an alternative to Music Hall a70.2
IMHO, if you want to spend money on upgrade it should not be an amplifier. MH has plenty of punch and it is neutral, so I would look into speakers. Everything else in your system is maximized to the point of significantly diminished returns. 
Review: Denon DL 103R Cartridge
I confirm that I like the sound of DL103R better than more expensive DL304. 103R has zing , realism , attack and treble that DL304 lacks. If you like the sound characteristics of 103R and thinking of upgrading do NOT go DL304 route. 
What speakers sound as good as Sonus Faber
That is a very funny question, you know. I have one too, Which car is as beautifull as Honda Civic? 
Best Cognac
Taste is a very personal thing , I just do not like overly sweet drinks, N.M. Ferrand and that Armenian brandy are certainly in the category of sweet drinks. You interested in extremely complex Cognac ? Give Audry Memorial a try, you will not be a... 
My experience with ATC SCM 12
I have to add that ATC were replaced by Triangle towers (no holographic micro-detail, but better stage and spiky engaging sound). ATCs are phenomenal speakers, but I’ve noticed two things with them: 1. Digital source always produced better sound i... 
Best Cognac
Normandier-Mercier is too sweet. I simply do not believe that it is unmixed Cognac. Delamain Vesper is a bit dry and has too much fire. However Delamain Tres Venerable is great (don't expect sweet nectar) it is not, it is a "real thing" with no 's... 
Which low output MC cartridge
I found adjustable phono stages to be the worst compromise, especially with LOMC carts.Look into Graham Slee line of products particularly "Reflex" phono amp.Denon 103R or 304 would be my choice of carts.Speakers are undoubtedly would be the next ...
