Simply SimpleJeff raves about your 845s. I can imagine that the Hornings love the extra power. It's almost similar to cars. No car likes being pushed by a 2 liter engine :)After speaking with Brent Jess... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |

My NYC apartment hifiHello Charles,The Manleys are great all-around 300B amplifiers but the BP SE300B has the slight edge in it's ability to convey micro musical nuances and a more organic 3D presentation. Bass... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
Kenny's SystemWow very nice speakers Kenny! I recall that you had been wanting Hornings for a while now. I'm sure the Aristotles have upped the ante considerably. Exciting stuff congratulations posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
