Re: Altair II + Hercules II
Very nice, Hercules II looks very sharp. I really prefer the lower profile amp, possible now to squeeze it into an HRS rack.

Re: Altair II + Hercules II
This is in Vietnam I believe...Cuong Pham on Audiogon I believe? I have admired his systems over the years...and he went thru massive iterations finding a new SOTA ref speaker (originally horns if I get this right)...and had 3-4 photos with different statement speakers. Ended up with the big Kharmas and Mephistos...and now it seems Hercules as well. Stunning. Originally Posted by wizard
