| Searching for an amp to pair with Rockport Atria II I have the Soulution 5 (511/520) series driving the Atria IIs. | |
| Rockport Avior ii vs Atria ii I own the Atria II driven by Soulution 5 series in a small room 15 X 8 ft. Extremely musical speakers, beautiful sounding speakers and if I had the opportunity to go up the line in, it will be the Avior II provided I have a dedicated space to them... | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. I will vote for the Magico S1, Kharma S7S or the YG Carmel 2. | |
| Coda 07X vs Backert Rhumba extreme vs VAC renaissance V Hi, I have heard the Strumento through the VAC specifically the Signature MK IIa. Holographic soundstage and excellent pretty much all around. DCed | |
| Rockport owners. I auditioned the Rockports in the guise of Mira II and Cygnus- very memorable performances. Extremely cohesive and balanced speakers. I was unable to purchase the Rockport as there aren't many in the pre-owned section in my part of the world but t... | |
| How would you characterize the VAC tube amps? Anyone with experience with VAC phi 200 or 200iq? Yes in monoblock mode, with Kharma speakers. Very holographic representation but not romantic. Very well made almost to OCD standards. I have the VAC pre and in a sort of conundrum to go with VA... | |
| Rockport Atrias versus Revel Salon 2 I listened to the Salon 2s and felt the soundstage was really diverse. The off axis performance is sublime and play with almost no fatigue but I guess it require high listening volumes and that will be a problem in small spaces. Next stop is the R... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? DSOTM mid day spin and Van Halen s/t DCC vinyl in the evening. | |
| Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300? I have been using the Bryston 4B3 since 2016 and have since changed to tube preamp to drive and will say the soundstage produced is detailed, dynamic, transparent and neutral. The older iteration of the Bryston 4B has been known to be very forward... | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? VAC...point-to-point wired, great customer service, Kevin Hayes replies to even the smallest queries. ARC does that too but only takes a long while to get replies back and perhaps a bit let down by the dealer support. | |
| VAC + Wilson Audio Hi JafantThe Bryston/VAC combination is a bit odd but the Bryston being neutral it makes it more enjoyable. I had the Audio Research Reference 5 linestage with this Bryston amp before. The VAC drives any solid state amp- it has a low output impeda... | |
| VAC + Wilson Audio Thanks for all the responses.Just out of curiosity, with a drop in impedance from 4 to 1.9 ohms @92hz in the Wilson Audio Sasha mk1 that I currently have on my sights, would it affect a tube amp like the VAC judging by the fact that VAC 200IQ del... |
