Proac 1sc or 2D for this size room
For what it's worth I think Pro Acs can be on the dull side. I've had both the D-15s and D2s. I can see the attraction in some ways but I kind of always just thought they sounded a little boring but good too in the best possible way of that descri... 
Powering Revel Concerta F-12 with Creek 5350 SE
I don't think of the 5350SE or the Destiny as sounding lean at all, if anything they lean the other way. Nice full round sound. The Destiny is better. I put the 5350 and it side by side and no doubt the Destiny sounds better. But the 5350 is a gre... 
Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4?
So Buff looking at your system I see you are using both a Plinius and a set of the Class D Bel Cantos. Which is better? I have heard mixed reports about the sound of Dynaudio with Class D amps. 
good DAC under $1000
I second the Havana or even the MHDT Paradisea + is pretty darn great too. 
Powering Revel Concerta F-12 with Creek 5350 SE
I have pretty good luck powering a set of M20s with a Creek Destiny if that is of any help. I think more of a factor might be how big of a room you have them in. The Creek 5350 is a great sounding amp. I think Dynaudios also seem to be a good soun... 
Who Are the Best Young Lions of Jazz Today?
I was thinking this was a good one for you Duane. Me and Duane just sat about 10 ft away as a group of us circled Rudresh Mahanthappa, Mark Dresser and Gerry Hemmingway as they played a couple of very memorable sets for us at a free concert at the... 
tubes and rock and roll, good fit?
I was thinking the same thing. Your system doesn't already rock? I mean when I look at your system I can't imagine there must be much if anything lacking. 
Von Schweikert opinion and help.
Wow the original Mk1s are better? Did someone say that? They are like 4000.00 more. I had the Mk1s and I thought they sounded pretty great. I could never get the bass quite right in my room. Lots of deep bass but not to much midbass. I'd say 5000.... 
ProAc fans?
If your room is small you should do good with the 1SC I would think. I had both the D2 monitor and the D-15 floorstander. Overall I'd say I like the D2 better. The D-15 overwhelmed my bedroom and didn't quite do it in my living room. The Tablette ... 
Static noise connecting DAC via toslink
It seems like there is something wrong that simply changing from plastic to glass cable is not going to fix. I have had the same issue intermittent. I could never figure out exactly what was causing it but mine was very loud not just faintly a par... 
Ayre v-5xe or parasound jc-1’s?
I've owned both and I like the JC-1s better. They have more authority and drive and are warmer and just plain sound a lot better I thought. I'm sure that they have a lot more power has a lot to do with it. I love Ayre gear but the V5xe just didn't... 
Dunlavy SC VI's...
Yeah those are some very impressive speakers. Massive would be an understatement. I would also consider a used pair or a set of the 5s, the only thing is what do you do if you have a problem? I thought that the drivers where very carefully matched... 
The truth about Apple/iTunes volume control?
Which USB DAC are you having trouble with? 
If I like St. Germain I'll like......
I think you might like Tortoise, especially TNT. Cinematic Orchestra as well. Moby and Gnarls Barkley as well have a similar vibe if maybe in a little more of a pop sense. I've always shied from the most popular stuff and mined deep for the more o... 
Why aren't all CD players also DAC's?
I think they should too.
