2. amps-preamps
  3. 127645-2211

PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo

What would you consider the best option of these 3 to build a reference level system.
Any experience with these amps would be appreciated.
I'm also considering higher end gear but if budget does not allow i will stick to these 3 options.

Yes Charles VAC makes some of the finest tube linestage out there.
The only brand that i can think of that could surpass the VACs is Robert Koda but out of reach for most of us.

French reviewer Joel Chevassus  I believe introduced the Totaldac to the public with his 6 Moons review a few years ago. He did an Audiophile-magazine. com review comparison of the Swiss Nagra Jazz and Canadian Coincident Statement Line Stages.  He was "highly" impressed with both.  It'd be interesting to know his thoughts of these two vs the VAC Signature preamplifier.

thieliste,

I had a brief stop with Harbeth speakers, SHL5 and 40.1s. Then moved up the YG line. This is my third pair of them. Carmel, Kipod II signature and now Anat III signature. The AudioNet amps are the finest amps I have heard or owned. You can message for more info if you like. They have plenty of power for either Thiel speaker you mentioned. There are a ton of reviews of both the AMP and MAX monoblocks.
