"The Joule LA450 seems very interesting, but without a home demo, I am unlikely to take the plunge. "
Hello Rtn1,
When I was buying my LA-300 (to match Spectrons and Watt/Puppy 8) I been told by Simon Thacher that I have 30 days money back guarantee minus shipping and some re-stocking fees.
I fall in love with this combo and live immensely HAPPY!!!
I believe both Spectron and Joule-Electra are committed to constant improvments (I already upgraded my LA-300 once) but with speakers I had to order new generation (Sasha) no upgrade and with good $$$ (Im waitin' still but I know its worth it).
At anyway, you could have the home demo of LA-450 but REX is more then excellent preamp as well considering its relatively high output impedance. Enjoy!
Mike
