Thanks for the advice all. Will look into the MinusK platform…
Totally get the appeal of looking at empty space between the speakers. But I also like looking at my Diablo 300 in that spot too! The turntable will add to that however.
Regarding separates, for the equivalent price of my Diablo, I demoed many separate components at home and couldn’t find anything that would come close to the Diablo’s sound, and in fact I couldn’t even find any pre/power amps I could be happy with. I’m sure that issue could be solved with more money however!
