| Best vintage amps (late 70s / early 80s) under $3k? All these posts and no mention of Bryston. It puzzels me. They are probably the best value on the planet in SS. For under 3k you will get a 3Bsst2 160 watts a side that will drive anything you put behind them. They sound awsome leaning toward tube... | |

| Celestion Ditton 44 Speakers Late to the party here but I'll make a comment as I've had several pairs of 44 25. 44s respond very well 2 a cap change. The muddiness or the veil gets completely lifted off and the detail comes through loud and clear. I like the 44 over the 25 ev... | |

| Who wants the best improvement in their system EVER! Ok. I will bite. What's the answer? The chicken or the egg or the source or the speakers? I am interested in hearing. | |
| High End is Dead? 2 simple comments. The younger generation are into pocket hifi (cell phone) and head phones. It's the instant gratification, download it, listen for a week than onto the next pop star song. Not about the quality. Although there is a nice little pu... |
