Is it because ARC is now owned by a Canadian?I'm changing....
Wait, are you THAT Canadian…?

It's got 4000 tube hours. I can deal with that. And they're only about $550 for 4 of them. I can deal with that.
Well apparently I might be able to get 50% off anything ARC... maybe... but honestly the only thing I can afford that they have currently is the LS28 even with the discount, or older Ref units.Is it because ARC is now owned by a Canadian?

Can you be my new best friend?Well apparently I might be able to get 50% off anything ARC... maybe...
Haha yeah well like I said, this is not a sure thing by any means. But I MAY be able to. Maybe.Can you be my new best friend?
But just for the record. Yes.Can you be my new best friend?
Yes.Ok so in terms of cables....
-sigh-
In terms of cables... I would need a new pair of RCA to run from the HT Bypass of the ARC LS28 to the Arcam... And I would need either a pair of XLRs or a pair of RCA to run from the ARC LS28 to the Benchmark, correct?

Ok. Ok cool. I'm going to check this stuff out on Friday and a buddy is bringing over his Sugden A21SE to hook up to my L100s just to see what it can do. Out of curiosity. Very low watts but. Class A. Just for funzies. Thanks for the help guys. It is now understood. Until I forget this all in about a week.Yes.

I’m becoming direct drive curious and that 1300G is what I’ve wanted from Technics. A TT without all the DJ stuff.I'm truly loving my Sol at this point but man, if I ever decided to go direct drive.
I love how 3 way speakers sound.Hi all, looking for more recommendations (really enjoying the equipment that was recommended).
Following is my set up since my upgrades in October:
So I want to start researching my next upgrades with hope of pulling trigger end Feb early March. The 2 obvious components are the speakers and the amplifier.
- Integrated Amp - Rotel Tribute A11
- CD Player - Rotel Tribute C11
- Turntable - Technics SL-1210GR2
- Cartridge - Ortofon 2M Bronze
- Speakers - Q Acoustics 3050 Floor-standing Speaker
- Phono Pre Amp - Sutherland - Insight MM/MC
- Headphones: Sennheiser HD 650
- Other items:
- Doug Audio VU3 Dual Analog Speaker Switch
- Switch to use speakers either with Rotel to listen to music or
- Old Yamaha receiver for TV (not thinking of upgrading Yamaha)
Budget probably will be around 7k for both combined. (if less expensive even better - more $ for records)
The items that first caught my interest have been the Rotel RA-6000 (the cd equivalent seems really good but have reservations as doesn't play SACDs - neither my current one but will like the option further in the future) and BW 702 S3. Sadly seem that both combined will put me over the limit . I haven't had the chance to hear them in person but historically have liked the sound that both companies produce. Will be going this weekend to a show room to try to hear them.
My room is 16 x 16 feet (approximately 256 sq ft. with high ceiling. One limitation is the entrance space and one of the speakers. Adding a couple of pictures to give an idea of space and limitations.
Also, do you know of any good Hi-Fi stores in Central Florida?
Thanks in advance
