Amp/Preamp Asylum Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here. |
|
The VPI integrated amp has been recently reported on the Asylum and I just read about the (oil cooled) hybrid amp by Vandersteen at the NY show. And not that long ago Bryston introduced a line of speakers.
So I wonder if this suggests a new trend with more brands offering something closer to total systems? My impression has been there have been few successes with multi-component lines in recent years. But obviously some companies seem willing to broaden their offerings.
How do you view their likelihood for success?
