I lived in ignorant bliss with these POS for over twenty years. Sold my Ohm F's to buy them too -- what a mistake that was as I eventually realized :-( Bill Bailey |

Or that was the case when I finally got rid of them at least. I can say for certain whether there was deterioration over 20 years. I drove them with a Phase Linear 400, not the best sounding amp, but it had plenty of power at a measured 250 watts/channel at 8 ohms. The DM7 MkII's were so "dead" that I actually preferred listening to Paradigm Atoms with a $200 subwoofer. Bill Bailey |

But I agree if it weren't for that SACD wouldn't be worth it. Bill Bailey |

By the way, even with VTL series 1 machines, you can replace 12AX7 tubes with 12AU7s to reduce gain/tube-rush.[nt], posted on May 6, 2007 at 08:17:34 | |
