Description

This system brings lots of enjoyment. My room is 20 feet by 30 feet with 12 to 18 foot ceiling. This is a very open and live sound not much damping to the system.

Thanks Jeff,

Sounds like the very early 1950's Ken Rad 5814 Carnbonized nickel plates - if so those tubes should sound very good in the Absolare preamp.

Hi jeff,

That's great that it did arrive (sometimes its scary what FEDEX and UPS do).

I am curious to know which tubes Kerem sent you with the preamp and what your impressions will be.

Again, congratulations!

Hi Jeff,

Congratulations on the Absolare Passion Signature amplifiers. Having heard them with Rockport speakers (along with the Ansolare Passion preamplifier) I know how wonderful they sound.

When does the preamp arrive?

Hi Jeff,

That's great. Since you heard them together at CES, you already know how synergistic the Absolare electronics are with the Rockport Altair speakers.

Jeff, congratulations on the Rockport Altair speakers! Truly wonderful speakers.

Are you getting both the Absolare Passion preamplifier as well as the Absolare Passion amps or just the amps?
