Description

new system that I put together with much trial and error ;) My previous system was Cary 211 AE amps, Cary SLP-05 pre, Vandersteen 5A's - Bolder Cables Squeezebox etc.. I then went with Innersound Kaya's and Lamm M1.2 amps - many preamps tried too.

Tony-

Can you compare the 5a's and Be-20s?

I think I read you were going to biamp them. Did you ever pull that off?

How low powered would you go on the Usher's w/ a tube amp?
