Best High Current amplifiers stable into low impedances
@jasonbourne52  Perreaux 2150B - 340/680/920 wpc @ 8/4/2 ohms. The manual says 200 wpc into 8 ohms. Could you confirm that? Could you articulate its sound traits? Its damping factor sounds reasonably high but the continuous current of 10 ampere... 
Weak Link in chain as I upgrade from mid-fi?
Stick to your gun.  SF Sonetto 1 is an excellent pair of speakers.  Ignore some forumers' dissing here.  I am not sure about the SQ of the internal DAC of SA20 or Node 2i.  I have heard audiophile comments about the so-so sound quality of the inte... 
Opinions before purchasing
Wharfedale Evo 4.2 now on sale for $999. Highly raved over the internet reviewers, reliable ones.  For a small room like yours, you probably do not need sub.  Room gain will help on low end extension.  
My Major System Upgrades in 2022 and Impact of Each
Wow, you were doing a great value engineering.  Just on the speakers, you have saved yourself over $30k.  Congratulte.  Question: why did you go with the older model d2 instead of d4?  Is d2 better in sound?  
Indentical measurments = Identical performance?
I saw people making unfair comments here discrediting Stereophile in a similar fashion on ASR.  Stereophile supplements their extensive listening with measurements, while ASR occasionally adds de minimis listening test in the end of measurements. ... 
Severe short term audio distortion when watching Netflix
+1 Roku.  Choose the ethernet direct-connection option instead of wi-fi connection.  
A rookie with 10K, seeking advise
I will spend money wisely by adding a subwoofer to your system to begin with.  I had Linton that, as you know, the low end goes down to 40 Hz.  When I pair the nimble bass from Linton with a fast subwoofer (down to 24 Hz), it really enlightens my ... 
OK...here's another tweak that really works
Interesting!  Burn-in with noise is better than with music.  Why?  Is there scientific proof? It is like breaking in a brand-new vehicle with harsh rather than gental driving behavior.  
Many of us want to Changegrade instead of Upgrading
Yep many of audiophiles were doing it already.  I had 3 amp/int. amp, 3 sets of speakers and two DACs, which render 18 combinations.  Of course not every combination is equally satisfactory but even a subset of those give sufficient rotations to f... 
Name this wonderful system
I highly suspect the sound is straight out of the speakers / system. In order to achieve soundstange width / depth and the instrument separation in recording of this quality, you will need to place highly sensitive microphones (shot gun preferrabl... 
bookshelf speakers that sound good on an enclosed bookshelf
+1 KEF LS50.  Or if you want to save more and like laid back sound of JBL, consider old time charm JBL Northridge E Series E50.  You could rotate them 90 degree to fit in depending on the type of bookshelf you have. https://www.ebay.com/itm/185... 
bookshelf speakers that sound good on an enclosed bookshelf
I am not sure its performance in an enclosed bookshelf but at least this gentleman shows S400 can sing really well in tight space on shelf.    
When a budget speaker is preferred to a high end one...
  @flyfish77  +1 NHT bookshelf.  The original SuperOne was my first bookshelf speakers in my audiophile journey 20 years ago.  The bottom end is down to 56 hz so I pair it with a AR subwoofer.  With Harmon Kardon AVR 25ii, the combo gives a "qua... 
The Best Speakers in the World!
Indeed, kingharold, good recording does require some efforts.  There are decent budget mic. out there with reasonably low noise floor. I am on a quest to find them (with the digital recorder) for myself now.  Nice talking to you and if I pass by y... 
Beyonce releases first album in six years RENAISSANCE
I do not think you are making proper analogy...  Actually, way off to the point that I do not even wish to comment on it.  It is kinda ... laughable.
