April 10, 20206 yr A whole bunch of years ago, a dealer in NH I frequented had a Manufacturer night with Michael Green of Roomtunes. They had Rowland mono amps and a pair of Aerial Acoustics speakers. I used to listen to them, and think that either the amps or speakers or both were not worth the price. They sounded a bit dull and lifeless. During that night, Michael did his thing, with his things....he said at one point he was about 50% done, but they started having folks come in and listen Night...and....fucking....day. Dynamics, space, precise imaging, and more all of a sudden was THERE. As nice as that room was, his "50%" showed off what the system could do. And from that day forward, I never doubted Rowland or Aerial.... Edited April 12, 20206 yr by skullguise
April 11, 20206 yr I'm a bit confused. Michael did ...room treatment with dampening materials, or he modded the amp/speakers? Sounds fascinating either way.

April 15, 20206 yr The "gold badge" Adcom stuff was their best. My first ever separate power amp was a (close to) cube-shaped Adcom GFA-1A. Punchy little thing, good power and decent (based on memory) sound..... Edited April 15, 20206 yr by skullguise

May 5, 20206 yr How about a battery supply from Living Voice (the same outfit that make the Vox Olympian speaker)? https://www.livingvoice.co.uk/lv-battery-power-supply.html I get the impression that is not a cheap supply...
