Agree with R_f_Sayles. I owned the Calypso/Rhea combination before my current Supratek Grange. There is no ARC that can stand toe to toe with that Aesthetix combo and the Grange smokes anything ARC ever made.
I've owned 2 and after comparing them to other competitive products it is 2 too many. "Storied history"? That's funny.
Seriously though, you don't want to A/B an ARC with my Grange; the Supratek is a man among boys in that game.
My friend, I asked you to email me outside of the thread. Our little reparte' was deviating from the originator's topic. I'd be more than glad to discuss my experiences with you. Relax.
