Bryston 4BSST, or 7BST's w/B&W M802SIII's?
125 watts per channel is a toy. And the 4b has balls but lacks ultimate in the room presence. Get some real power for those power hungry speakers. How about a used Classe CA-400. 
Which solid state amp loves a 4 ohm load?
It takes a monumental experience in audio for me to be impressed with an amplifier. I use 4ohm speakers that dip to a solid 2ohm in the bass. The BRYSTON 4bsst is just amazing. Neutral to your source component but wait a minute.... I have re-read ... 
Will spend $ 2500 for used speakers for upgrade.
Legacy Signature 3. 
Audioquest Cheetah- Anyone?
I have a pair of the Panther RCA here on loan. With my 93db sensitive speakers. I can easily hear exactly what the dbs battery pak is doing. And I much prefer the cable with it disconnected. The battery boosts the signal, especially in the midbass... 
Which amplifier to drive B&W Nautilus 802?
I think you need an amp that puts out atleast 400 watts into 4 ohm load. Solid state, no tubes unless it's a real powerful one. 
Audio Research 150.2 Class T Digital Amp
I have concluded that, when one describes this amp. It is a description of the source component and pre-amp signature. I also believe the digital circuitry in this amp has the ability to "learn"- but this is only my opinion. I have made some chang... 
Audio Research 150.2 Class T Digital Amp
I own one now for a month, using in a 2ch system. Sounds laid back and warm and polite to me. No trace whatsover of any transistor harshness. I find the strong points to be in the mids and highs. The amp surely has a low damping factor. Don't get ... 
Audioquest Dialectric-Bias System
They never did open up on my system in the way that stranded designs have done for me. I passed them back to my friend that has quads. He also is not thrilled with their soundstage and hf presentation. Desribes them as recessed. Much of this is ve... 
looking for a warm ss amp....
Audio Research 150.2- digital switching amp. 
Audio Research pre amp question
I have owned LS-25mk1's since they came out. Warm, musical, great soundstage- yet dynamic, transparent and detailed (with right tubes) all in the same package. Performs best when mated to an ARC amp. Will never sound solid state like when matched ... 
Esoteric DV-50 vs. Accuphase DP-75V
Hi, all you need is (1) set of (5) way binding posts on youramp. Use (1) cable with spades the other with banana plug.Take care. 
Esoteric DV-50 vs. Accuphase DP-75V
Oldlee- I have made a change that I now use full gain from my pre-amp. I use dynamic speakers- bi-wired. Use copper interconnects. Multi-solid core to mids-highs. But now use a copper/silver hybrid to woofers---- wooahhh!!! Perfect match for the D... 
Esoteric DV-50 vs. Accuphase DP-75V
Very interesting, you seam to have perhaps followed my posts over at AA about my experience. Teac should allow for a voltage trim for the two channel outputs in cd direct mode. The voltage trim thru the main menu will not keep it's setting when sw... 
Esoteric DV-50 vs. Accuphase DP-75V
About the DV-50- in audio- it is all about the driver that is controlling the hardware. A skilled driver will achieve A+ performance with the DV-50. An average driver will dismiss the player as "decent". 
Audioquest Dialectric-Bias System
Uh-oh- we have a problem here- on day number 9. Cables need no burn in???- not. Well the high's are still distortion free but-- they are MIA. The cable sounds absolutely muted to the point of a complete loss of soundstaging. They are out of the ru...
