Paired with ProAc Response 2.5s. Dennis H was reliably reported to voice his amps with ProAcs back then. Th... | |
| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? This makes no sense. In one thread audiozen is bashing Tekton.

| ARC VS-115 6550's or KT120's This is only semi-relevant, but whatever.My Rogue CMII came with the Tung-Sol KT120s. After I little while I splurged on a matched quad of Genelex Gold Lion KT-88s. The 120s are now back in the CMII: more power/punch, more bass extension, and th... | |
