| I need a recommendation on Class D amp Atma-Sphere Class D Mono's. | |
| Your greatest high end audio purchase!!! Great question and what fun to read everyone's comments! I owned a pair of original Snell Type-E's around 1981. I replaced the woofers a couple of times as the foam gave out. After Peter Snell passed on the company evolved away from my personal so... | |
| What speakers work with low wattage class A amps My DeVore O/93's work great with low wattage amps. | |

| For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? I have had 1B's, 3 models of 2's, Treo CT's and Quatro CT's. I have since moved on to DeVore O/93's. Zero bad to say about the Vandy's. Wonderful sound for decades for me. The CT upgrade was a big one. Finally, I walked into the man cave and looke... | |
| Looking at best option for 20-25k for DAC Streamer combo Not mentioned yet is the Cary DMS 800PV. It is a fantastic Streamer/DAC flagship piece. Great sound and fully balanced unit. Coming in at just under $12k at Carydirect.com | |
| Is there such a thing as a FOREVER DAC/streamer? Future Proof and DAC generally do not go well together. That said people have mentioned DAC's like the PS Audio that via FPGA firmware are upgradeable for a number of years. At some point a manufacturer will need to make something new as they have... | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? I am hedging my bets because this is a hobby and I like to have fun with my gear. I have just acquired a Denon DP-60L TT for my albums. I have an Oppo 205 for shiny discs (and home theater) and I have a Cary DMS-700 DAC/Streamer all hooked up to m... | |

| This is the list of the best makers of audio equipment. Respond if you disagree You left out Crosley. | |
| What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities? Vandersteen Treo CT's are outstanding at this price point. Exceptional high end clarity. A completely different approach would be the DeVore Fidelity O/93's. Both are excellent in the Mid $8k range. | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way Good to hear you are off to a great start! I did get the stands for the LS50's and I am pleased that I did. I assume you will enjoy yours when they arrive. | |
| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way I have the S50's paired with an SVS SB16 Ultra. It sounds very nice and gives the 50's that extra low end help all stand mounts need. I am powering them with my modded Cary SLI-80. 40 watts in Triode are plenty and I love the sound. |
