  With Toobs , Only SET with High sensitivity speakers works for me, I have heard WA with Toobs and SS , both had different issues , best i have heard WA and smiled , tap toes was with Spectral..
  Spectral is fast and viceral and has that life like Jump, a good SET does too, only SET and well design SS like Spectral have that IMO. A well built SET have good tone and realism, easily the best of toob, but does require the right speaker to make them go.

    those things are true but there ARE exceptions. my ARC sp3a1 is none of that and works quite well with the adcom555II. and nothing hard about the constellation or d'agostinos. get thee to a hifi show asap.

      Not necessarily , i was invited a few years back by some i have had past affiliation with when involved in the industry , so i was privy to meeting with Dan D and seeing his then new stuff , as he was travelling , doing his promotional deal promoting his new amps on WA speakers , Luke from VTL was there also and he too was using the same WA speakers ,( different room ) It was a good meeting as i had not seen most there in years, I'm also very familiar with Adcom anything, in stock or modified form ( still have a few sitting, a great back up/test tool) the sound I'm describing is not obtainable from Adcom's ...
      
      BTW 555's are at their best modded and ran in Bridged mode , they are sturdy little buggers ...

        i have always liked the WA speakers with big tube power (VTL) and even not so big (Jadis Defy 7s). i have heard them with the constellations but not the D'Ag amps. the constellation experience was wonderful streaming peter mc grath's recordings. magicos (another of my all time fave speakers) also benefited from the Connys.

        I have no experience with constellation, BHK and i think John Curl do design work for them, should be good stuff as well as the PS Audio BHK designed mono's , Im hearing really good news about them too ...
