| What's causing the highs to be rolled-off? I will definitely be keeping the Premier however. I'll experiment with other power cords for now. If the Premier is the problem, I'll eventually uncover it. Fellas, thanks for all your advice.Foster_9 (Threads | Answers)It's quite possible that on... | |

| What's causing the highs to be rolled-off? Mrtennis makes a good point about living with the system for a while with it's "rolled off" characteristic.That's assuming you can discover how to get the highs back to where they were before they went missing. | |
| AES Cary Sixpacs and Silverline Audio Sonata III No Newbee, I did not. I selected two highly regarded tube amps. One push-pull KT88 with 160 wpc, and one OTL 6AS7 with 60wpc. It's not as though they both sucked. The KT88 amps actually sound pretty darned good, but not as balanced as the SS amp. ... | |

The treble region with two of my tube amps has been overly aggressive and bright, and the midrange has been recessed.This is why I have continually emphasized tonal ba... | |

The sound is unbalanced. Both tube amps I own(ed) ... | |

| Tube amps with BALLS in the low end registrer ??? How about the wolcott p220 monoblocks? 220 watts, adjustable damping for fine tuning and excellant quality.Rleff (Threads | Answers)I heard this amp driving Merlin VSM loudspeakers. It was hard, dry and lifeless. Anything but the "soft and wet" so... | |
| AES Cary Sixpacs and Silverline Audio Sonata III Call Alan Yun of Silverline Audio and ask him for his advice. I did. He straight out told me for the music I listen to (rock and jazz mostly), anything less than 100wpc in a tube amp won't produce satisfactory results on the Sonata III loudspeaker... | |
