Sorry Jim. I looked at your equipment listing and you have 5 or 6 different amps listed. From the hype surrounding The Lars, it should be the be all end all. As far as mismatching amps, many "industry professionals," Gizmo among them, have suggested push pull tubes for the lows and single ended tubes for the highs. Sounds like they have some 'splaining to do. At a yearly show in Dallas a manufacturer of an 8 K speaker provides the option of a single amp or tri amping his speakers. With a sand amp on the LF and the above listed amps on the mids and highs the system was open and coherent as all get out. It made the single amp running through his crossover sound closed in. Must have been dumb luck, or just my less informed knowledge of what sounds right.

Hey Ozzie,
Thanks so much for your note.
I really appreciate it.
After I went to Church, all I could think of was what an over-sensitive wuss I am.
And it's not exactly like we're worrying about world peace.
It's our hobby!
Thanks again!
Best regards,
Jim Smith
Well said Jim, always a gentleman.
Now that the scurmish has settled. I am curious about something that cost $80K which is a new amp of some sort, I guess, that is called a LARS. If it is not an amp - is it a speaker? Never heard of it but evidently Jim Smith has much to do with its production. Can anyone fill me in on this? Thanks in advance.
Steve
A lot of this info is out of date now.
That's because the owners went through some incredibly unfortunate personal health-related issues in the past 16 months, and the updates haven't been posted.
The first production models should ship in about 6 weeks.
They look a bit different, sound better, have more useable features that contribute to their sound as required by different speakers, and we will only import the power amps to the US, not the original integrateds.
