B&k 2007. or 200.5--Anthem MCA-50---Parasound Halo/7250--

[dmamsa]

I am looking for a good condition (working and cosmetic) amp. It can be either black or silver .

B&k 2007. or 200.5--Anthem MCA-50---Parasound Halo A51 or Parasound 7250--

I have 4 ohm Polk LSI speakers and want a good dedicated amp for them. I am currently running B&K avr 507

Cheers

whats wrong with the 507?? Thats what I used when I had them. The 200.7 does sound a bit better. It's alittle clearer with more dynamics. Pick one up and try it out. I think you'll dig the extra power but I don't think you need it with the 507.

Hello Dan;

I bought the 507 based on your recommendation couple of years ago. I liked it as it was the only receiver at that time (I tried Onkyo, Pioneer, Rotel) which made my LSI happy :) -my opinion

I am trying to get into seperates as I have a dedicated HT room now. I want to get a good amp now and forget about it for a while. I can upgrade receivers as the tech changes...

I just started to research amps and MAN way tooo many choices...gemstone, earthquake, sherbourn, anthem, B&K...to name a few

Might also want to consider a used B&K 7270 or 7250, which differ from the 200.7 and 200.5 only by minor cosmetics and no XLR jacks, but do have manual channel adjustments. The prices are a little lower.

My personal experience with a 7270 was that the B&K sound was not the best match for LSi's because the amp is even more mellow sounding than the Parasound Halo series. I'd suggest a Halo A52 for your application because the A51 would be unnecessary overkill for the speakers you're running now. I'm not selling mine, but Audioadvisor usually has them for around $1500 with the warranty intact. They typically run around $1100 or less on the used market. The A51's are much more.

hey! dmamsa

look on audiogon.com under multi channel amps you're sure to find a b&k 5 or 7 channel amp there, also you can negeotiate prices as well if you want power for the lsi 9's try bryston they have a twenty year warranty that's what i'm using on my lsi 9's the sound is awesome.

good luck!

dmamsa,

did you register with audiogon it's the only way you will be able to communicate with other members.

chip1

[dmamsa]

Yes I did...I even emailed them multiple times.

Its frustrating since there are a lot of good deals and I cant take a shot at them

[dmamsa]

Finally got my audiogon account working. Even agreed to buy a B&K 200.7 payed by paypal......then the buyer says he sold it to someone else...WTF...:eek:

[dane_peterson]

That's what happened to me last week too. Some of those guys aren't very courteous.

[chip1]

hey! dane

i do agree with you about some of the guys on audiogon they aren't very courteous, but if you keep searching you will find someone that is a true gentlemen and courteous i went through same thing just be patient.
read my feedback on audiogon under the same user name (chip1).
hope you get what your looking for.

good luck!

[chip1]

dmamsa,

keep trying on audiogon you will find someone honest and sincere and you may even get a better deal than your first.
just be patient.

[dmamsa]

thanks Chip1...

I am going to borrow a Earth Quake Cinenova Grande 5 and a 7 channel Gemstone from a friend of mine to try out. He is leaving for vacation and offered me his two amps...we will see

[dmamsa]

got the Cinenova today...MAN this thing is heavy-had to use a furniture dolly to bring it into the room. Will get the gemstone on sunday...

[polkatese]

Cool, dmamsa! I would be interested to read your comparo on Cinenova vs. Gemstone BD. I have a Gemstone for a year now. Very happy with it, plenty of brute force, and low volume details. I bought quite a lot of my gears from Steve Herrala (the owner of Gemstone)

[cfrizz]

I also look forward to reading your comparison between those two killer amps!

I meet the same error now. How to remove it? Could somebody help me?

[dmamsa]

I had to use my work email address when I re-registered...once everything was in order I changed my email address back to the one I wanted.

hope this helps

[pipeorgan]

Does the steps like this:
1. registered by one e-mail address and meet the error
2. use another e-mail address to registered again (with the same usename ?)
3. use the first registered name and password and no error

thanks for your answer
