I have had good luck with a couple of items discussed here.
1. I was a very happy owner of NHT3.3, after pairing them with what seemed to be the right amp and cable combo (BEL Mark IV and cardas wire).
2. Bel Canto: nothing but good luck with their amps.
Worst decision: selling the BEL Mark IV
Best decision: Proac 1sc, for my ‘office’ system
