Thoughts on the Audio Research 150.2

I also, just purchased this amp. The difference, I've been using audio research equipment for the last 20 yrs.
I know the sound and equipment. I recently changed from bi-amping to single amping thus the purchase of the 150.2.
I was vascillating back and forth between the ARC 100.2 & the 150.2.( the 150.2 replaced the 100.2 kinda sort of) After reading the review that Soundstage did (which was very favorable)www.soundstage.com, and reading some other reviews and opinions, I decided to take the plunge.
I was not disappointed to say the least. This amp is very good!! and encompasses their latest technology. To go from bi-amping to single with this amp, I'm not losing that much all things considered.
I'm mating it with the audio research LS-16 MKII preamp and the sound I'm getting is excellent. Detail, resolution, bass response is just great and I have a 18k system.
Long story short, this is a great amp.

Hi John

I have owned the AR 150.2 for about a year now, and I have been extremely pleased with its performance. It just goes about its job and doesn't get in the way of the music at all.

I am using mine with the AR SP-15 Pre-Amp which works wonderfully well with the 150.2.

This amp is well built, runs quiet, stays cool and is fairly priced.

Regards,

With Electras, you are hearing your electronics so if you like the sound then you have a great setup! I have only heard the 150.2 on a couple occasions and not with my 926s but I always thought that recent ARC gear sounds "delicate." I like a more robust sound myself but, hey, everyone is different. Enjoy! Arthur
