Short and befuddled;
Wayne: The AES amp seems nice. I have somewhat perplexed perspective. When I bought and built the theater PI 4's I did so blind because your website seemed logical, knowledgable and fairly priced. So I took a chance. At the risk of appearing ingratiating I am impressed to all hell by the sound. Here is my rant. I listen to the Pi's on the EAR 859 SE amp which is a decent amp and sometimes I use the Stereo 70 I modded long ago. In this forumn I see you have used several decent amps; Bottleheads ,Zen Homebrews. Last weekend I heard the 4's on a Korneff 45. Knocked my socks off. Bass like we never heard, like a drug it was. Here is my query, I notice you tend to promote amps of very low price more so than more dear units yet my experience is the Pi's resolve beautifully with hi-res gear, almost like a different speaker. Obviously it's great to find a pig in a poke but are you really exploring the limits of the speakers capabilities, and after all isn't that why we are here? Once you become accustomed to that sound it's hard to drop down 5 notches on the resolution scale. Tell me of a nice 211 triode PP interstage transformer coupled amp, thats interesting! Thanks for listening. J.R.
