Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp?

I was always interested in a higher powered tube amp to drive my Infinity RS 1-B's mid's and tweeters. I was considering the ARC VT200, VTL 450 etc...but all were used and around 4-5K. I have read and followed HP's recommendations and, although I have not always agreed with him, I have appreciated his writings and recommendations. Therefore, site unseen....I ordered an ASL Hurricane this weekend. I t should be in in 4-5 weeks. I will keep my ARC VT 100 mkll as back-up and report to you all about this amp.

Rick-- I might just do the same thing, and keep my Bryston 7B-STs until...

Are the orders that backed up that there is a waiting list
of a month or so? We just missed a pair on the classifieds that went for $2950, but you probably already knew this.

If I buy the Hurricane, it'll be my first tube amp in about 40 years! People (including HP!) keep telling me that's what I need to take the annoying edge off of CDs. We'll see.

BTW---I found the previous threads and came away as confused as before. I guess, as the Brits say, you just have to "suck it and see"! Lots of wannabee experts around.

Hi 914nut......Yes the wait is at least one month. I ordered on set from Lyric Hi-Fi in NYC. They were recommended to me by the distributor in Canada. I happen to know the store (Lyric) and I believe that they would get one of the very first shipments since they are quite reputable. Let's see who else answers this thread?

Rick

could someone please summarize his comments upon the Hurricanes. thanks

Hi Mejames......I will do so tomorrow, however, I believe you have the Genesis 200 and from what I understand the 200 watts will work wonderful with Arnies drivers.
