Manley Labs should also be mentioned here. I've had quite a few experiences running different Manley amps with my TSM-MX. Using seperates like, 100/200 mono-blocks, Snappers, to the mighty Stingray, well not necessarily in that order, but you get my point, the presentation was juicy, punchy, and well balanced.
But that is all in the past now, for I sold everything, and placed an order for the Filarmonia.
Hearing the Ars/ VSM-MXe combo at the past CES show here in NY, only confirmed that I'm in for a treat.
Can't wait for the Ars to get here.
