Description

I'll be taking new pictures around January 8, 2003 once I'm moved into my new house in Toronto for my work term. These pictures of the system are from my sound room in Waterloo during my academic term. Next upgrade will be the Piega C8's or Jm Lab Mezzo Utopias. Also interested in SET and OTL amps. I need some recommendations from you guys on SET or OTL amps that will pair well with the above-mentioned speakers.

Once again, thanks for all the help on the forums this quarter.

Happy holidays and hope you receive all the toys you asked from Santa :)

Buckingham, My first thought is how can a student afford such a system as I too went to U of W and through the co-op system and the plan back in the '80's was to use gov't grants/loans money to buy stereo & beer. Good on 'ya. Some of the very well reviewed OTL amps you may want to consider include: Berning ZH-270 (buy factory direct), Atma-Sphere M-60 (avail at Alternative Audio in Dundas, ON), Tenor (if you can afford it and avail. at Audio Gallery in TO), and Joule (factory direct). Beware the 4 ohm loads on OTL - they don't always match well. Ralph at Atma-Sphere sells a Z-System transformer that increases the ohm rating and thus doubles the power. Hope that's of some help.
