Sonus Faber Amati Homage versus Vandersteen 5A
They are all nominal 4ohm designs, and real world impedance curves throughout the bandwidth will confim that any competent amplifer can drive em all with relative ease.

Steve: Lighten up? Did you happen to check out any of YOUR original comments before our posts? If you want "jump" from tubes you need a high current design like the VK150se mono tubes from BAT. GIves you the best of both worlds, a high powered MAC...

Maybe Serblin used a pair of amps to "showcase" the introduction of his speakers(due to being a recognized name for promotion purposes)but he sure doesnt use Krell(or ANY SS amplifier)for his own personal setups. He is a die hard tube fanatic. 
Sonus Faber Amati Homage versus Vandersteen 5A
I have met and hung out with France Serblin and a few Sonus Faber reps on a few occasions when the Amati's were introduced a few years back. For the record he doesnt use Krell for anything, he uses a pair of home made triode amplifiers he built hi...

Stevecham: Dont be a complete fool(opps, too late I guess....). Were not just talking about "amplifiers" here, were also talking source and preamplification units also.But besides that point. As to why Im using Aragon instead of an "Adcom" product... 
Sonus Faber Amati Homage versus Vandersteen 5A
I know of alot of Adcom products that will stack up with Krell(and even post better "measurements" too) just for the record........nametag and pricing doesnt always mean better sound thats for sure......

Sonus Faber Amati Homage versus Vandersteen 5A
Im not a huge fan of the AMati's sound but the craftsmanship is incredible. I sold 2 pairs of em back in 00'. Both owners love em to this day as much as they did when they first purchased them. Vandy 5a craftsmanship is nowhere near the level of t... 
best for home theater? revel or aerial acoustics?
Worldcat: You really need to take the foot out of the mouth and to complete your random ADHD thoughts. You've most likely never even heard of another pair of Aerial's other than the 9's, and dont tell me you've ever heard a pair of Revel's either,...

Worldcat: Check out this thread you posted on countless occasions : http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1053349700&openusid&zzWorldcat&4&5#Worldcat You bought an amplifier based on a DEALERs words, not your ears, LOL!...

Worldcat: I feel my response is at least merit'd. Ive OWNED and SOLD as a dealer the products I speak on and have listened to the above products for countless hours. You based your buying off on opinions BEFORE you had ever even heard the speaker(... 
best for home theater? revel or aerial acoustics?
Mike made a good point on Revel's. They are much more detailed to the extent where they will show up flaws in the rest of your equipment which may or may not make for an enjoyable listening experience. The better your source and amplification is, ... 
Revel Studio or Revel Salon?
Ive owned and sold the Revel Salon and Studio. Regardless of room size(unless its a closet)the Salon is a better speaker regardless of price. Midrange clarity and bass definition and extension is better on the Salons no question.

Worldcat: Your response shouldnt even be allowed in a Revel vs. Aerial debate. And you know it! =P
