| SET amplifier recommendation Although your listening space is not very large, I am not sure whether 300B SET amp can drive B&W 805 with enough authority.I recommend Line Magnetic 508 or 805 SET amp 48 watt to drive it.New one is over your budget.Thus you may want to wait ... | |

| Is this sign of getting old? Thanks all young guys.HahaAudiophile never get old with enjoying nice rock, classical and/ or new age.I wish to enjoy all kind of music until I die.My collection of CDs are over 2k and it is still going on.Thomas | |
| Is this sign of getting old? @tomcy6 I still like Carpenters as if she were my sweetheart. My musical taste got broadened to some electric rock and musicals as I get older. | |
| Is this sign of getting old? I am playing "The Wall" right now.My system of Lansche 4.1 , Line Magnetic 508, Chord Dave and Mscaler give clear and 3 D soundstage with explosive dynamics.Funny thing is that I did not used to play this kind of music when I was young in 1970’s. | |
