| Speakers in the 5-6K$ region & their components I like the Magnepan 3.7i. I also like the Vandersteen Treo CT. Both require some quality power.I have heard them both and they sound stellar. | |

| Another 'Which Amp' Question I have a Parasound A21 and have had an Odyssey Stratos. They was no comparison, the John Curl designed A21 was much better. Better built, better sound, great current and better customer service. The A21 has had no problem driving any speaker even ... | |
