1000 wpc monoblocks

Amplification
Submitted by mcbrennan on

I am seeking massive wpc monoblock amplification for a new stereo system. To this point, three impressive amplifiers have been recommended to me. I have heard one.

McIntosh MC1.2KW
Boulder 2050
Pass Labs X1000

All three have received favorable reviews to different degrees. I would very much enjoy reading thoughts from any of you who own [or have owned at one time] one or more of these three monoblock monster amps.

Equipment paired with the amps?
Musical?

Thanks!

I am inquiring if forum members can comment on the Eggleston Ivy, Savoy, and/or Andra III speakers.

Secondly, I have not been successful locating on-line Eggleston speaker reviews. They rarely appear in any review magazine or on-line listing.

Might anyone know of some on-line reviews?

Many Thanks!

Apple Corps Ltd. and EMI Music are delighted to announce the release of the original Beatles catalogue, which has been digitally re-mastered for the first time, for worldwide CD release on Wednesday, September 9, 2009 (9-9-09), the same date as the release of the widely anticipated "The Beatles: Rock Band" video game.

WHY IS THIS FORUM EVEN HERE??

Submitted by commsysman on

I really think having what amounts to a forum for political harangues (which is 98% of what is actually here) is inappropriate for Stereophile forums.

There are thousands of websites for political discussion; let people who want to do that go to one of them. I would like to see "The Open Bar" eliminated and all political comment or discussion banned from this website.

Let's limit this website to appropriate subjects.

It did not require great perspicacity to predict that SSI2009 would not be as well attended as last year's show. Things are tough all over. In any case, as I write this, on Saturday evening on a train en route to Toronto—yes, I manage to catch the train this time!—the show still has another day to go, and, as Michel Plante, with Sarah Tremblay the SSI's organizers, admitted, what often makes or breaks a show like this is the Sunday attendance.

Okay, so the system in the big room from Montreal dealer Coup de Foudre was <I>very</I> expensive, and the room's acoustics I knew from the 2008 Show were excellent, but the sound was both my best at show and the best I heard in that room. Not only did Peter McGrath's high-resolution recordings, played back from his Sound Devices recorder feeding the very promising Playback Designs' D/A processor, reproduce with extraordinary dynamics and a superbly transparent window into the soundstage, my own recordings sounded the best I have experienced, with the audiophile attributes supporting/reinforcing rather than getting in the way of the music. And that was from CD!
