Anyone with big, high current amplifier(s) find a power conditioner that doesn't destroy the amplifier's virtues? Is it even possible? Which Ones?
You would need about 800% capacity of an AC KIT actual draw to negate hysterisis...anyway. I would guess out of 10 million audiophiles less than 50 have applied their stuff correctly .. If even that. So basically no one... So .... No. Not even the manufacturers of their own gear even touch...- Imperial

There are tube pre amplifiers that would make the Boulder team smile. I tell you. There are not many of them... But they are out there...- Imperial

Boulder 1161 Power amplifier
Well. Walking along the shoreline. One morning the sun was so beautiful, that tubeglow filled my soul. Been to that beach alrainbow? :) Tubes with some gain adds to the sound i think. Like more verve more dynamism. Solidstate amps also sound better if they are driven with a couple of volts...- Imperial

thinking to buy Luxman M900u mono , what other similar amps should i look? for Focal Maestro
How about a Electrocompaniet AW250R. Those go down to 0.5 ohms and have extreme current delivery at those loads. They are unfazed at any load really. About 2kw at 0.5 ohms.. At 1.7 ohms like 600 to 900w easely. 100 amps into deep loads. And sound does not change at all into any load. About...- Imperial

Loudspeaker Suggestions Please – Alternatives to Avantgarde Mezzo
Yes. My observation too. How often would you wanna casually stand in front of your speakers. Some owners tried to tilt them slightly forward... When standing back some 4 to 5 meters they integrated fine. But, a design choice that is strange. Other than that. The Fremer test aside. They were...- Imperial

Loudspeaker Suggestions Please – Alternatives to Avantgarde Mezzo
Yes. I think i know what you mean... Hear here would need to confirm this but I'd be willing to bet that in his current setup bass information is left or right dominant in the soundstage. Meaning that bassy information isnt centered as it should be. Most likely more often to the right. So in...- Imperial
