| Using 2 integrateds to bi-amp? Electroid - see my reply to S7horton but yes, 2 different amps. Jolida 502B (60 wpc) & a mid '80s Yamaha R1000 receiver (100 wpc). Was thinking exactly as you suggest to run upper range drivers with the JoLida and lower range drivers with the ... | |
| Using 2 integrateds to bi-amp? Well, I suppose "effort" in lieu of $ is my justification plus I kind of enjoying messing around with this stuff. On the other hand, is it that much different than trying to integrate a powered sub-woofer? | |
| Surge Suppressor or Not? Tiger Direct had (has?) a great deal on an APC H-10 power conditioner/surge protector. It seemed to make CD playback cleaner (like a slight veil was removed). Everything except the amp is plugged into that. I didn't like things (lost sound stage? ... | |
| Reputable dealers? I did business several years back wih Community Audio on Germantown Ave in Chestnut Hill. John spent a lot of time listening to music with me and my wife. He respected the budget I had to work with and loaned me an amp to try at home. If I lived n... | |

| Totem Owners.... Nasaman...my input is let your ears and pocketbook guide you. I too liked the simplicity and sound of the Totems. I auditioned Hawks some years ago - really liked them but own Forests. Decider for me was a bit heftier bass from Forests. Can't spea... | |
| Using 2 integrateds to bi-amp? Thanks all for your comments and time. | |
| Tradeoffs going to a hybrid from all tubes? Chadnliz - thanks for the input. A blessed and merry Christmas to you and your family. | |
| Using 2 integrateds to bi-amp? Kr4 - I'm guessing since I have volume controls on both I can regulate spl from treble and bass. By trial and error at worst, I'd expect I could find optimal settings. Peter_s...yes, one unit does have a pre-out and this is the unit I'd be using t... | |
| Tradeoffs going to a hybrid from all tubes? Still hoping for some input on this question... | |
| Johnny Winter better than ever We saw him in State College, PA roughly a year ago. He definitely still has it. | |
| Sell Theta DSPro Gen Va??? Schotbus - The Upgrade Co. sells factory new equipment that David Schulte has worked his magic on. He sells mod'd. CDPs from Denon, Esoteric and other brands too, I believe. Check out the website and you will see what I mean. | |

| A spousal revelation ... and a tall order. Help Totem Forests will be in your price range- particularly used. I made some toe in adjustments recently and was amazed with a large step change improvement in what I already thought was very good imaging. Sweet spot is small however. Don't know your... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music "Let's Go Away for Awhile" - Beach Boys from Pet Sounds (That melody, those vibes and strings...always been killer to me). |
