    Its 2x75 watts. Crutchfield has them for around $600. My buddy is letting me play with one. What I would like to know is what other gear it compares to if anyone has had experience with them.
    Thanks

    Ben,
    I have a Niles 2125 and a audiosource amp300. I am kinda new to sepperates but the niles seems like it is a bit smoother than the amp300. It gives my LSi25's some life compared to just running them off my v661 though.

    media room: Lsi25 mains driven by an audiosource amp300, LSi9's driven by another amp300, LsiC drivin by an audiosourcAmp200, Lsi7 rear channels driven by receiver - Yamaha 863, Panamax 5300, epson 6100 w/ 106" elite cinatension2 screen, HPz555 media center, oppo 980, techniques SLbd3 turntable,xbox and ps3,

    living room: VM30 mains driven by a niles 2125, VM20 center and VM10 surrounds, velodyne dsp10, yamaha rxv661, cambridge audio dvd89, panamax5300, philips 42" plasma

    I think of Niles as mainly being into home distribution stuff. Not up to the level of some of the others. That said, I've never listened or had my hands on one.

    Thanks for the linky. No mention on SQ though. Iam not looking for serious currant. I was wondering if the Niles would be better than a gainclone. I am thinking GC.
