Check out the Gryphon Poseidon as well. Reckon it could give the XR2TKs a run for their money :scratch2:

Different league lah brother, .........

1. Poseidon runs 100m, ....

2. XRT2k runs marathon, ......

Meaning, after a short while, U get sick of the 1st BUT for XRT2k, U keep on going on with your music.:music:

Talking about that, a question just popped up in my silly little wondering mind:

Would you wait for the XRT300 or would you settle for today's XRT30's? :scratch2:

Cheers!:D
 
Looks like everyone is trying to copy our two favorite brands, McIntosh and Sonus Faber.

Are you actually going to wait for Ron to say his famous quote "Time and technology marches forward" when someone asks why the XRT300 are better???

Now whats this Accuphase things about? :scratch2:

If looks, GREAT!

Performance, also GREAT!

But the greatest of them all, McIntosh! Believe it or not. I do, cause I did own the Accuphase P500L before, ..... and I left it behind, ..... many years back.

I have respect for Accuphase.

Their website is a little bizarre. It states the output of this amp is 1000W at 1OHM!!??? Seems a strange impedance to quote power figure associations?

Doubling of power = capability to drive very difficult speakers = plenty of juice and control = great amp

Thats the idea/perception for consumers to believe in!

This is the formula applied by Krell and ML, .... and have now watered down to others, ........... only McIntosh who uses autoformers, quote differently. Same power output for all impedances.
 
There are speakers that dip down that low, 1 ohm. At that level, the "boys are separated from the men" as far as amps go.

True!

In the days of Apogee Scintilla, Krell has always been touted as one of the very very few amps who can make them sing !! Most amps died!

Remember there was also someone who shown a pair of Mark ML20's that can be made to do arc welding ...........

Brutal ...... to the amps I think, ..... and your pocket eventually! :yes:

Well, 1 ohm is only 1 ohm away from a dead short, brutal indeed. (brutal, hor...)

Yep! You passed! But to the truer effect, should have been "lor", ... because you are making a point, .........! "hor" normally like "asking", .......

Nonetheless, your Singlish grammar passed! Hey Serge, U good! :thmbsp:
 
(I have been invited to a private unveiling of the Sonus Faber Elipsa at my local dealer) Dan D'Agostino is supposed to be there as well, the Krell guy, not sure what he has to do with Sonus Faber.

Well, now I know why. The Elipsa will be unveiled with all Krell Evolution gear driving them that the dealer now carries. This is good, if they can remain "musical" with Krell driving them, I know they will pass "my" own test for being worthy "musical" partners to my own system.

What a traversty! I agree though, if they sound good with Krell stuff, then even BOSE will be a worthy partner IMHO (kidding, I don't like Krell much that's all!).

BTW, I demoed the Elipsa. Let's just say that I will not be swapping my Guarneris :no:
