Marantz SA-1 (Super Audio CD player) ?

Sorry to hit you up under this thread...but I have a vk50se with a single vk60, Wadia 850, Audio Physic Virgos. I'm considering the Wilson Watt/puppy 6's. Do you need the Bat Monoblocks? I know they are better, but is one amp sufficient in your opinion? Did you listen to the Wilsons that way? Thanks for your time. FYI, Try the fatman 2000 power cord on your VK50se ...

By the way, I want to be clear. Until I see(and hear) this player play a SACD, I do NOT believe it. Otherwise, they would be advertising it as such.

Jfrech: The VK-60 will drive the Watt Puppies but will not really get them singing. I recommend you go with the monos. You will get increased performance that will really make it worthwhile.

Brulee: Yoyoyoyoyo!

Trelja: I hope it does play SACDs. It would be quite a bombshell!!!

BTW, When you are drinking Scotch slower is better :)

Watt Puppy system: Gentelmen, I enjoy so much this particular discussion (not a single ugly comment...yet) I decided to give my "drop" on it. As a matter of fact, I never auditioned Series 6 - good beginning (but I heard that a friend of my sister-in-low played one on TV...). Well, I had Watt 3 Puppy 2 for many years and auditioned Watt/Puppy 5; I found "5" to be worse then 2/3 combo. I read that "6" has lower extention then previous ones, may be. However, I feel that Watt Puppy 6 may not be good for everyone, some may even hate it. SACD gives, per my personal opnion, the most realistic sound reproduction, beter then DVD-Audio and even vinil. For people who prefer small group or solo the Wilson speakers are very good. However, if someone like me loves symphonic, choral, operatic (BIG) music then 3/2 and 5 (and I suspect 6) do not have good dynamic range to represent the 'fury" of the orchesra. I changed mine wilson speakers to Diapason by Dick Shahinian (I am sure that participants of this forum know this name) and with SACD I am in "Paradise". Of course "6" may be different but it is difficult to believe. If I am wrong - please correct me but by ones who KNOW - Simon
