Bryston 4B3 or Ps Audio M700 monoblock?
Can we at least agree that Bryston has a better warranty? 
Sub to complement KEF LS50s: SVS vs. Rythmik
I own the LS50s and paired them with two REL T5 and it works well.  The LS50s do have a bit of a bass boost that is unfortunate.  Perhaps installing the plugs would help?  TBH I should have/didn't try but that might have flattened out the bottom. ... 
Just received shipment of my Magnepan LRS’s
I haven't read the article but someone who had said 81 dB efficiency vs. posted 86 dB?  Also something about a big frequency dip?   
Bryston 4B3 or Ps Audio M700 monoblock?
Buy my amp.  It's new, it's Class G. 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
Infinity Kappa 8s.  I have "NOS" polydomes in a box although with the grills not quite original but pretty close.  I have two pairs of Infinity Kappa 7s one bought new one bought used.The challenge is to drive these low impedance beasts.  Bryston ... 
Bryston 4B3 or Ps Audio M700 monoblock?
I've had the 4BSST for 15 years.  Most of that time I used it with a Conrad Johnson tube preamp.  Then I bought a BP20 with the MPS1 and finally gave up on that tube noise.  Recently I bought the 7BSST2 monoblocks with the BP26 and MPS2 for a tota... 
Step up from Nakamichi 582 tape deck?
How far down on the Nakamichi "food chain" is a DR-2?  Just bot one. 
Magnepan's new LRS?
So, I should waste my time driving to their store then if I can't hear the gear there?  To talk to somebody who hasn't a clue and doesn't want to?  Their marketing by selling direct is a strange one but that's OK with me I will pay 1/2 price and a... 
Magnepan's new LRS?
pryso I understand and I agree with you.  I was in sales for many years.  This and other reasons as mentioned is probably why brick and mortar is in trouble.  Having said that, try harder!  The LRS situation is a bit odd and I really don't know ho... 
Magnepan's new LRS?
pryso and Richard, not to try to pick on Pearl Audio who seem like nice enough folks and who have been very good with me on the phone, I think these are two different marketing strategies with sell direct vs. the dealers.  I literally offered to b... 
Magnepan's new LRS?
Pearl it isn't x3.  Oh well they don't want those 1.7i customers buying the LRS.  I can't blame them really. 
Magnepan's new LRS?
While I haven't heard the .7, at 2x the price and the 1.7i at 3x the price of the LRS is a big difference.  I did try to get the local Magnepan dealer to get the LRS but they weren't even interested in listening to my pair vs. their 1.7i.  Probabl... 
Magnepan's new LRS?
I've had a pair for a few days now.  I did a review on Steve's channel and also OCD guy.  Tube preamp CJPV10B Mullard NOS, Muse 150 monoblocks, Rega P3/bias 2, HK CDR20, DH Labs air matrix, DH Labs Q10, two (2) REL T5i subs set at 60 hz.  I'd reco... 
Tube info
I've been using those expensive high test Mullards from Upscale for a while now.  Conrad Johnson PV10 tube pre-amp with ss monoblocks and the KEF ls50 with REL T5 subs.  The mullards sound good in this application because they smooth it out a little. 
Is the Last Record Preservative system a worthwhile investment?
Using the LAST All Purpose Cleaner with their brushes, along with the preservative and the StyLAST.  The difference in sound quality with a good cleaning and the preservative is extremely noticeable.  I have 60 year old records and some highly wor...
