I use an Audio GD Master 3 power amp on my CS 2.4 loudspeakers with IMHO great results on any loudspeaker I ever had.

Review of the Master 10, same power amp but with a preamp integrated.

I’m still with the cheap-seats Transparent cables. I’ve yet to find a reason to concern myself with anything else. 


I am not going to head down the same road I did since joining this site.  It’s almost embarrassing how much stuff I’ve sold and bought here. This Belles is excellent.  I will play around with cables, maybe, down the road. I’m settling in, down, planting myself!

This is almost where I am. My modded 2.4s sound superb. I would probably have to drop at least $30k to better them in any meaningful way. My amp is killer, would have to $$$pend to get better performance there, too. The reason I wrote “almost” is because I am in line to get my Ayre DAC upgraded to latest version. After that I have zero plans to change my system in any way.

It takes a while for the BP17 cubed to break in. Although Bryston runs each one for 100 hours, I ran mine for another 100-150, as it gradually improved over time.
I exchanged a BP-26 for the 17 cubed.  No contest.
