symphonic Line RG4 III vs RG4 IV?

Hi George -- the Magellan i listened to were privately owned; I happened to drop in while an audition for electronics was taking place, was kindly asked to stay a bit -- and... I ended up leaving hours later! It's amazing that the guy actually moved the speakers. I would have thought that moving a few amps to his *house* would have been more practical solution...

Unfortunately, I don't know who, if anyone, has Magellans on display. Cheers

A few clarifications from a German audiogoner: The amp you are talking about is not called RG4, but RG14. Older versions can be upgraded to the newest version MkIV. The engineer of Symphonic Line always was, and still is, Rolf Gemein. Mr. Lindemann was, and is, the engineer of his equally successful full line of high end audio amps, CD-players, and speakers. Symphonic Line has its own website, which so far is in German only, but the pages of which you can easily translate with the help of http://www.babelfish.altavista.com/
Last but not least, German high end magazine Stereo compared the new version to the older ones in its new May-issue and found the MkIV being noticably better, rating him as "excellent".

klaus at odyssey can answer questions also-he is the usa dealer

Hassel, the thread refers to the RG4 -- mono power amps. The 14 is an integrated.
As to the rest, I must have been misinformed! Cheers

Gregm, I indeed missed that one about the mono amp. Always a good thing if the clarifier gets clarified. Cheers too!
