I use a HK Citation 16 amp has a preamp and EAD theater master signing

I am pretty sure I replied earlier in this thread ( I use Perreaux amps) but wanted to add I find the preamp I have tried are just as critical , sometimes more. I have good success w/certain Adcom units, not all and trying a Yamaha 2095 currently seems ok so far , borrowed from a friend here at LH. If the money pit ever stops taking my money i have thought of acquiring something nice in 2 channel and another for HT use...weakest link in general
Lastly room accoustics. I moved from a house that everything just sounded bad to a one where the same set up sounds great!

Changing to Legacy Audio and started with a Silver Screen HD for my center between the 250TIs

Room acoustics, preamps, it all affects the system once you start to really listen!
Paying more doesn't necessarily mean you'll get better sound... often times there is a correlation, but sometimes there are other reasons that something costs more. Basically there is only one thing you can do... give it a listen.

I still think one of the biggest improvements I've made was the C32 pre amp. Not as nice as some of the other gear mentioned here, but moving from a Pioneer integrated amp (SA-8800) to a C32/MC7270 was a huge difference for my humble system. I first used the C32 and the SA-8800 (as the power amp) and the difference the pre amp made was incredible.
when I went out to see the CL ad for the Ohm/Walsh F's (notoriously hard to drive , need mucho power and are marked 4/3 ohm) that I now own , they were wired to an Aiwa boombox (he wired L & R leads together to 1 speaker to try for more power) . I carried along a HK receiver in case seller could not demo.
Good as the 250ti's are ...for me they do benefit from an added sub. I use a JBL UB212 UltraBass (the original design choice before they produced the B460 - AFAIH)
Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles
But those Kilimanjaro cables made such a big difference and they were only 1/2 price at $5K!!
Always fun learning more.......
A pair of monoblock Bryston 7B-ST's @500 watts each @ 8 ohms
Ok,
So my 250 ti are being restored right now, however will be using my upgraded Hafler XL 600 to push them. With 315 plus watts per channel should work well with these speakers. What do you all think? Will that be enough to work these 4 way speakers?
. . . Thanks,
Philster
