This Or That
I heard you’re willing to spend just over a grand to get a new integrated amp to run your nice speakers. What’s your smartest choice to make them sound their best? Here are two integrateds that run about the same money. Each has chosen a different target. In This Corner… We have the incredible Atoll IN50 Signature ($1200) built in France with…
Atoll Separates
A good percentage of our customers own separate preamps and amps that have been purchased in the last half century. I always have a soft spot in my heart for separates because they allow you to accomplish two things. The first advantage of running separates is that you can get a more gutsy, ferocious power amp – by not including a preamp…
Gary Loves His New Bryston Trim Speakers
Received the new Bryston Trim T10 speakers recently. Made a few small changes in my listening room and holy crap do these Bryston Trim T10 speakers ever sound amazing!

Crushing Combo!
In the great hi-fi hobby, sometimes we come across a combination of products that creates a special synergy. And that is the case with the marriage of Bryston speakers and Atoll electronics. What’s especially enticing is, the money is downright reasonable. What is more common in our hobby is that a listener found “a great deal” on quality product like a 25w…
Good Reputation, Poor Sound!
We sold some Magnepan MG 1.7i’s recently to a fellow who is building a new system. The 1.7i’s are a beautiful way to start a system with GREAT resolution. He settled on the Maggies quickly. MG 1.7i’s ability to cast a life sized vocal and guitar presentation, for example, is just about as good as it gets! They have excellent resolution and…
