Let me try where Asa failed, Tvad.Do you think this is the last amp you will ever buy? 
Improve Bryston B100-SST and Totem Model 1 Sig

Improve Bryston B100-SST and Totem Model 1 Sig

Just ordered my Supratek Chenin Preamp
Would those of you with Supratek pre-amps care to tell us what amp and speakers they are using successfully? Thanks.

Thanks to Sean for taking the time to post. Clearly his words were a direct wire from his brain - no crossover! Sort of reads like 'Trout Fishing In America' ;). A couple of comments on the other posts in this thread. Firstly, I don't think it is...
