    WestminsterLab Rei - Class A Amplifier

    Well, I am willing to admit that of all members of this forum, I might be the least informed from a technical point of view. That being said, I understand integrating two functions, such as preamp and amp, to achieve efficiency but at a potential loss of quality. Or creating a stereo amp...

    WestminsterLab Rei - Class A Amplifier

    Question for Angus or Gary: I just read this article and it certainly confirms what you fellows have been telling me about bridging the REIs. But why not simply offer a new version of the REI with double the power? Economy of scale with same sonic improvement?

    Vienna Acoustics The Music

    Not sure how I came across this old post of mine, but to update, my earlier declaration of victory in the amp category was premature, as I since upgraded to the Westminster REI amps and also upgraded in the DAC category to the Lampizator Horizon, and I also upgraded the power on my Innuos...

    Re-imagining "Class A" Amplification

    I was honored this evening to welcome the Westminster inventor, Mr. Angus Leung, and Gary Leeds, who’s become a good friend, to our home in Chicago. They offered to stop by on their way to Axpona to personally tweak my system, get the speakers positioned just right, etc. What great guys! What...

    Re-imagining "Class A" Amplification

    As an update, we are now running our REIs, Horizon and Innuos Statement with Westminster Ultra Power Cords, and their Ultra Speaker cables, and balanced interconnect. The Final Touch Audio USB and Ethernet cable round it out. I did not appreciate until now how big a difference these items can...

    Re-imagining "Class A" Amplification

    Sorry for not replying sooner. The Horizon, with its volume control, outputs directly to the REIs with no preamp needed. I am very pleased with the resulting sound and have “declared victory“ without testing the REI’s preamplifier component which seems to be getting rave reviews too. So, no...

    Gary and Fred both go the extra mile. I understand they are teaming up. A perfect match of product and professionals.

    Re-imagining "Class A" Amplification

    100% agree with Russ. Before the REI’s came along, I was very content with a premium, highly regarded integrated amp, thinking I would not have room for monoblocks and a preamp. Then I discovered I didn‘t need a preamp because our new Lampizator Horizon was outperforming my integrated amp in...

    That is true, Steve. Not sure what i did to deserve it, but I suspect most of the folks on this Forum are pretty lucky too.

    Congratulations to both of you, Gary and Fred. Pleased to say I am enjoying my new Horizon powered by my new REI amps this evening thanks to both of you.

    Re-imagining "Class A" Amplification

    Great idea, but would probably need to expand the house first. I am confident the first two REI’s can fill our home with music quite nicely.
