  1. I recently paired a Rotel Integrated Amp 1592 with my La Scala II's, and they sound truly amazing, !! Very close to my many other tube amplifiers I use with the LS's.

    The sound is airy, with big sound stage, excellent imaging and excellent clarity, yet warm to the ears. 

     

    Has any body else had a similar experience combining Rotel audio gear with Klipsch Heritage speakers ? Please share your experience. ty

    I thought the Vidar sounded better in stereo mode.

    "

    That's cool. I noticed an improvement going with Vidar mono-blocks vs just one in stereo.

    Not sure if it's the added power or if it's the fact that the channels are now seperated in separate chassis but it was definitely worth getting the second Vidar IMO."

     

     

    So which is it: mono or stereo?

     

  3. Yes , I did return the Aegirs. I kept the Freya+, and use it with different amps. Like I mentioned, they do get really hot, not too loud unless you turn the knob on the Freya+ all the way up. I felt a decent SET amp did a much better job. IMHO sounded better then the Aegirs did. 

    Get the Freya+, and experiment with different amps, my opinion.

    What pre-amp did you decide to go with? I'm strongly considering a Freya+ and Aegir monoblock setup for my CWIVs. 

    I had this combo,  they get so hot with the forte iii's, u can fry an egg on them. not too loud either. i ended up returning the Aegir's, and using a Dennis Had SET amp. much better imo.

    Price 3950 USD plus shipping to CONUS.

  6. A Dennis Had inspire or fire bottle, would be excellent for your speakers. I have one like new if interested. it is SET and you can play with tubes rolling (changing) and find what suits your ears best.

    Attached are photos of a magnificent Marantz 10-B. It has been serviced
    by a Marantz specialist, who replaced capacitors and some tubes with
    original (or appropriate new components). It was also sent to another
    Marantz specialist (all this happened in California), who aligned and
    properly adjusted it to spec.
    The absolute only caveat to the above description, is minor, but to a purest,
    it would be an annoyance. (I'm not a purest, but annoyed, none the less.)
    As you will see in the photo, there is a tiny little "divot" to the left of the
    tuning knob. The previous owner didn't mention it to me. Needless to say,
    I was annoyed, but balanced that with the ownership of one of the greatest
    and most iconic pieces of audio equipment ever made by Saul Marantz.

     

    Price: 4500 US dollars

     

    Shipping will be in 3 boxes, tuner, tubes, case.

  8. Routine would be nice. I do fall asleep before my head hits the pillow, i use a nasal c-pap, and after many years of use, just putting the mask on, I fall asleep. 5-6 h and I am up and ready to go after my cup of coffee.
