    Gemstone Blue Diamond $2799 factory direct:

    gemstoneaudio.com

    Allegedly on par with Lexicon LX7 and Plinius (the massive one, forgot the model #), and slightly better than Sherbourne 7/2100.

    I am thinking of replacing my B&K AV125.7 with this.
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    Do you have a link to their website? Do they have a 3
    channel version?

    They have only 7 and 5 channels, 200w/ch. 8 ohms, double down to 400w/ch at 4 ohms.

    Just found it and was coming back to post link.

    Thanks - a 3 channel version would be nice.

    I guess I could bi-amp my LSi15s and then drive
    the center with the 5th remaining channel...

    with the 10 amp fuse and devideing on to 125 equals 175 wats per channel max. now rms is .707 of peak so you can get 123 wats rms all channels driven befor the fuse blows. and that is if we are getting 100% efinsey

    I hope you find a Simaudio dealer. When I was looking for a new two-channel amp, I perferred the sonic characterists of Simaudio over ML, Krell or Bryston. Bought the W-3 for two channel listening.

    If you find a dealer, let us (or me) know what you think of the amps.
