I'm no expert but it all seems solid to me. The Pro-ject is a classic, Jolida is IMO underrated, and Hypex has a good many fans and should power most anything (maybe not planars?)
Also +1 @2psyop's response above.

PERSONAL GEAR LIST; Your opinion on next best upgrade?
I currently have the following gear list and thought I’d come to the experts at Audiogon forums (shameless flattering admitted) to see your thoughts on which should be my next upgrade....
I’ve read here for a few years but never signed up myself.
I was thinking speakers should be next but thought maybe someone would see something here I didn’t that is worth considering first.

thanks for your thohghts on my current gear. https://forum.audiogon.com/users/gnostalgick I agree with @2psyop that to listen is to know. I prefer "rock" but listen everything M83 to Let it Bleed to Kind of Blue (except for twang). I did audition new speakers a month ago, maggie 1.6s with ReL subs and really liked it. But then had the original question pop in my head.... "does my current stack of gear warrant the speaker uogrades now or should I still be working on the gear first?" Thanks agian for commnets that specifically address and contrast the current gear versus the upside of upgrading the current speakers. |
