Ok, I have settled in and see two options, both keeping in mind that if a pair of Dynaudio Confidence 3's show up, I want to be able to accommodate them. In the meantime, I'm loving the Tannoy sound and the Stirlings are staying for some time.
1. Supratek Cortese (I've wanted one for 15+ years)
+ amplifier TBD
Pass XA25 and Rogue Stereo 100 are both contenders (I know, I know...it's tubes), but I feel like they're sort of temporizing.
- a Gamut D200i might be the things down the line if/when Dynaudios appear.
2. Accuphase E480 w/phono card.
I may be discounting the PL and maybe I shouldn't, but it also feels like a temporary solution.
