    Apt Holman/Hafler vs Vintage Integrated and Receivers

    I have no experience with Hafler Amps but do own a Apt Holman Pre and I am happy with the way it performs and sounds. I would say that the phono section is one of it's strong points. Was a little concerned with the stepped volume control prior to purchase never having used one. But it has been a...

    Speakers for good sound in a bad room.

    I don't have a specific recommendation but in my experience a "bad room" would sound worse with most horn loaded speakers. ADS speakers or most with soft dome tweeters could work to your advantage. I have never owned line array speakers so can't help there.

    SVS subwoofer model difference

    I would think that you will be happy with the SB1000 pro in a 10 x 10 room. If you move your system to a larger room in the future and feel the 1000 is lacking. A second 1000 would produce better more even bass then one single larger Sub.

    SVS subwoofer model difference

    The 3 models are very similar but the main difference is in power output. The 1000 and 2000 share the same speaker with the 2000 having a more powerful built in amplifier. The 3000 has a 13 inch speaker with a even more powerful Amp. It is also capable of going a bit lower in the audio range...

    SS Amps That Will Run 2 Ohms

    A lot of the Ashley MOSFET amps are rated down to 2 ohms if you look at there Specs. The power doubles all the way down to 2 ohms. They are mostly designed for theater applications and most have cooling fans. However they are very musical and sound excellent. Made in the NY.

    Let The Subwoofer Debate Begin!

    After another session with the new SVS SB1000 more gains and better blending were obtained. Yes the phase control is a critical piece of the formula as I learned today. I tuned it in with my years and when I got it wright the system and bass sounded much more natural, effortless and stronger. I...

    No my email was not compromised...don't really know how the hacker gained access and Ebay never informed me of what they found out. Not sure if they even tried to investigate. They froze my account and cleared the bogus items. I reset my password and in 5 - 7 days re-listed my items. Did not...

    eBay Scam Listings?

    Ebay is fat and happy, making a ton of money. There isn't any real $$ penalty for them worth worrying about with the scammers. If someone sues Ebay over a scam and some judge awards the plaintive a large settlement...Maybe then Ebay would take a more proactive or aggressive look into the scams...

    KT88 monoblocks which are less than a working kidney?

    Another vote for the Quicksilver Mid Mono Amps. I have a pair and am very happy with the sound and build quality. Running EL34s in mine and have never experienced them with KT88s.
