Deang Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 I know Mobile isn't too thrilled with them but I really like them - especially with the several different solid state amps I've had over the last year. I almost bought the AE-3 but ran across a great deal on a Line 1 and couldn't resist the temptation to give it whirl. It's a sharp looking piece with a really nifty remote. What I did last week was hook up my AE-25 through it because I wanted to see how it did with movies -- and I needed the additional switching functions of the preamp. I've been very happy with the performance of the two pieces combined with movies. Later in the week I got around to listening to more music and felt too lazy to unplug the AE-25 from the Line 1, move the CD interconnects and speaker cables -- so I just popped a CD in. I was very suprised at how different it sounded as opposed to just using the AE-25 as a stand alone with the volume control. The midrange withdrew a quite a bit and there was less bite. It sounded noticably warmer and richer. The bass was also a little tighter sounding with some additional 'oomph' -- this could have been a result of having a less pronounced midrange. It sounds very good -- but certainly different. At any rate -- the Line 1 sounds great whether mated to the Bryston or the AE-25. At least in my system with the RF7's -- the 6922 fairs pretty well. I would have no idea how to complain about it. ------------------ dean This message has been edited by deang on 03-16-2002 at 03:32 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
