Hi I am debating on getting the DecWare Mystery AMp or a Mcintosh MA 252. The only bummer is the Decware is 7 month out and they don't respond to emails.  I would hate to put up 7,000 and not be able to contact someone.  

Just a couple of questions

 Can this amp work with Salk Song Towers, I don't plan on listening loud.
 Can a turntable hook up to this or can I use my Kenwood KR-7200 with pre-outs?

I see the SongTower listed on Salk's site as: Floorstanding 2-way transmission line 88dB, 4 ohms minimum, 6 ohms average.  The Mystery Amp would have no trouble with that. By all reports I have heard, it will sound better than a Mcintosh amp.

Do you have a phonograph preamp for your turntable? The Mystery Amp is not an integrated design. It does not have a phono preamp built in.

I hope some of that was helpful.

The Kenwood will work but the shortcomings of a 50 year old phono pre will likely be passed thru the Mystery amp. Depending on your situation a ZP3>SE84UFO2>Lii flagship speakers will hands down be >$7000 well spent.

I forgot to mention the Lii speakers will be too big for my room. I am looking at the same size / footprint as the 8” wide Salks Song Towers

Hi djaudio,
I have not listened to the SongTowers but Dennis the designer was part of our group back in a day. He was very good at crossover design/voicing. Matter of fact he voiced one of my builds that I called the KenSues that are still on display in the family room.
If your room is small and levels low, you could possibly go with ZP3>ZROCK>SE84UFO2>ZSTYX>SongTowers. I have no experience with the ZROCK but there is a wealth of information here on this forum that spins it as the holy grail for rock reproduction with Decware.
This combo will still give you room to keep it under 7Gs by adding DNAs if the SongTowers did not work out. Again, I have not heard the DNAs but single driver speakers have been my favorite for the last 20 years. Speaker orders are on a different timeline.
You might want to consider attending DecFest in October and listen to Steve's offerings with the SongTowers. Or, try giving him a call. It may take a couple of tries but he is accessible and won't steer you wrong.

Lin,

My Jordans were in the same ballpark as the Seas as far as efficiency. In a TL enclosure the Jordans did well in my 1900 cu/ft room but Lii's Crystal 10s trumped the Jordans.  Granted the Jordans are full range and had no crossovers as well as the Crystals. Dennis use to keep his crossovers component count lean as compared to what I came up with. Never-the-less your point in valid.
