thinking of getting a VAC CLA-1

[bobsticks]

When you made the move to high end Mac/Martin Logan, what were the naysayers telling you then? I'm sure you made the jump knowing it would most likely be the last move you would need to make...

Actually, virtually everyone was telling me not to do it...instead to opt for their specific flavor of the month. I went with my ears instead and found things that would integrate into my room and system with greatest ease.

It was a no brainer! it was mint, had the killer power supply with the the high end cord and sounded sweet. I will hook it all together and figure out what speakers that will sound the best. i guess that I will need really efficient speakers to get the best sound? I've got all the way to 96 decibels.Now got to sell all my ss gear. got all the legends. Any input would be appreciated! Or anyone want to trade some classic ss receivers for some speakers?

Well, any input that I could give would simply be in suggestion form...what maybe to run for a test drive. Clearly you've been around the block a few times and are capable of coming to your own conclusions.

What kind of music do you prefer? What qualities in playback do you value? Neutrality? Lush mids? PRaT? How big is your room? What's your budget?

Hi Bobsticks,
Just setting up the system right now,,,, Speakers will be a big deal for me. I have some Infinity 5000 at 4 ohms, which will be 85 watts rms through my VTL st 85, some infinity CS 3008, jbl's,sansui's cerwin vega most of the kickass stuff we couldn't afford because we were kids!
Sound really good with the infinity cs 3008, on everything I've tried yet. Nothing like the martin logans I auditoned some stuff through... wow! I guess I'll be looking to upgrade... anyone having something that would be of help, let me know. Listen to rock, blues, jazz etc... little of everything...
