Ridge Street Audio Sason Owners

musicfile, the new sasons are smaller, 5 inches shorter and weigh only "110" lbs, now that xcovers are in the stands. But with integrated stands they still weigh around 250 lbs afters the stands are filled with lead shot and sand as recommended. I'm glad to hear you still have your sasons. I ordered mine with dueland CAST caps, expensive but hope it will be worth it.

I will definately let Agonners know how they sound.

What amplification are you using Dracule1?

Hi Brian, I have 200 watt tube mono blocks that were designed by Bob Carver and Tim de Paravicini (of EAR fame) using vintage transformers. According to Bob, they sound better than the massively expensive Carver Silver Seven tube monoblocks (remember those?) and have 1 ohm tap for the Apogee Scintillas (his favorite speaker).

Saw your system thread. Are you still contemplating on replacing the Sasons?

Yes, I still have a desire to venture out. That said, I have new amplification that should be here tomorrow that I am curious to see how it mates.

What is lacking about the Sasons that you want to change?

Please tell us what amp is comming and let us know how it compares to your Mac.
