ARC 100.2 Enough power for Proac 3.8
I did not like the 100.2 with my Proac 3.8's. My room is fairly large and I found the soundstage to be very flat. It may have been a power issue due to my large room. I liked a Classe ca200 better, but the Rogue M-150's I use now are much better t... 
Spacedeck compared with Gyrodec SE
I use a Shelter 501II with a stock SpaceDeck with Spacearm. Great combination. Have the dealers who are not recommending this combo tried it?

I ride a SantaCruz Superlight. 24.4 pounds built. Quick and nimble full suspension. I'm going riding right now. 
Belles 350A
I tried a 350A with my Proac 3.8's for a while. Of the amps I've used with these speakers, Classe CA200, Audio Research 100.2, Rouge M150, The Belles was the one I liked the least. It had a very forward presentation in my system. 
Speaker Suggestions for ARC VT100
The vt-100 is a perfect match for Proac 2.5.

Bryston or Classe for NHT 3.3
I have used a Bryston 4bst and a classe ca200 with 2.9's. The Classe was a better match. The Bryston was too bright with these speakers for my taste. You would be better of with at least a ca300 with these speakers if you have a large room, The ca... 
What's the oldest piece of gear in your system?
Mcintosh MR-71 tuner, circa 1966. This is a magical piece of audio equipment. 
Is the Berning ZH270 revalatory?
Has anyone tried this amp with Proac 3.8s? I'd like to try one but am not sure if it has enough power. The impedance of the 3.8 hardly falls below 8 ohms, so I am thinking an OTL might work well. 
Cables for Proac, Rogue
Also looking for power chord recommendations for these amps. I realize not many people have the 150s yet, but what have you had good luck with on your Rogue m-120s? Thanks, Jon

Help - Line 2 on the blink
I had the same problem with my line 2 se. It turned out to be a bad tube. 
Proac 2.5 or 3.8?
I think you need the 3.8's to load that large room. I am a 3.8 owner. 
Sonic Frontiers Line 2 / Classe CP-60 for CAM-200
I use a Sonic frontiers line 2 se with a Classe CA 200 with good results. 
Upgrade Rega P25 to? Basis? VPI? Or?
I went from a Rega 25 to a Nottingham Spacedeck with Spacearm. The Rega is a nice table but sounds like a cheap record player compared to the Spacedeck.
