Audio Research and Wilson Sabrina

Unless you are going to play your music at concert levels, you won’t need anymore power.  Also, if you get and active crossover or DSP and a couple of subwoofers,  you’ll have watts to spare!  My second system uses 40 watt mono blocks and can play fairly loud.  When I added an active crossover, crossed at 80hz, those 40 watts might as well have been over four hundred.

All the best.

CuriousJim no I don’t play at really loud levels. Maybe 85-87dB peak when too much bourbon kicks in haha.  ARC amps have fantastic power supplies so I’m not experiencing any congestion that I can tell.  I do have another S510 on the way.  

(Facepalm) Your immaculate "synergy" came through for 10 recordings at most...and fell apart on recording # 11. If you have 10 records on repeat for the whole year (nausea inducing), you’ve now got "synergy" and "nausea"...good job.

@deep_333   Variety is the spice of life and the enemy of synergy. ARC amps play well with ARC preamps.

@deep_333   I was referring to the synergy among audio components of the same brand that have what's termed a "house sound" and thus work magically together. The one thing we seem to have in common is that neither of know what you're talking about.

Right, right....room, speakers, treatments, amps, front end, conditioning and all kinds of tweaks....y’all different end users established/discerned a "house sound" and "synergy" from all of it, whilst sitting in your different houses with a cluster of different recordings....

"synergy" is the buzz word bull sales gimmick sold by the sales guys on this thread and most every other thread around here...
